Jack Byrne

He was close to Dundalk previously, maybe he'll head there to replace Adorjan. 

He is probably able for higher, ability here isn't the question though and it appears to becoming something of a familiar story.

I can't help but think that the fame, especially for these Irish lads, isn't helping. That isn't to say they have different personalities , it is just that lads like Byrne and Clifford are really well known in Ireland before they have ever done anything of note. They are interviewed by national papers and their progress followed by the media with far more interest than if they came from a larger country or one that isn't so obsessed with English football. As soon as they drop down it is mentally a long way back.

In Clifford's case, he came home too late to revitalise his career, it might do Byrne no harm to come back now, show some of his talent and get some grounding. Pulling his Twitter wouldn't do him any harm either.

Mainly the same reasons why it helped Towell, Maguire, Burke. Surrounded by homes comforts and playing a style of football (if he were to be taken on by a top LOI side) that suits him down to the ground. Being the a big fish in a small pond whilst surrounded by family and home comforts seems everything this lad needs. 

Agree L1 is a higher standard, but it's pretty relative. I can see why you'd think it would be a better move but I think you have to think of the human aspect and not just the short term footballing aspect.
