    Leeds spent as if they would qualify for the champions league annually.
    They had a good time leader (O'Leary/Ahern) who looked a lot better than he was cos of the amount of money made available to him.
    Their spending was unsustainable and the wheels started to fall off.
    The slid down the divisions.
    Along the way they have struggled with debt, been docked points, been in administration, but they are still going, have excellent support they climbed back to the Championship, and will one day probably make it back to the premiership, but it will take generation(s) for them to recover their former glory.
    I predict a similar path for Ireland.

    To answer your question what can Ireland sell? Some state assets but not for a transformational amount of money.

    We will emerge from this collapse like Leeds. Not like a train from a tunnell but a bird from an oilslick.
