Hank von Hell Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 8 hours ago, Duncan Freemason said: Personal opinion is that he has something of a Charles Green lite vibe. Does his homework, plays buzzword bingo with the support, and gives of the sense of seeing the club as supporters do. The truth I am sure, is very different. There are so many iffy practices that an owner can pursue in order to strip money from a football club, and I reckon this guy will be up to speed on every single on of them. One guy takes over, and we are left hoping for a benevolent dictator. I reckon that isn’t what we will get. Quite the opposite in fact. A potential lesson/warning from the Bury situation. Some similarities & potential nightmares we could be exposed to with a dodgy owner having most of the shares. Mysterious new companies, multiple dissolved businesses , asset transfers, loans taken out against the assets - there are serious red lights here people! http://priceoffootball.com/bury-minutes-to-midnight/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be peak MSG. (Not seriously asking btw). That very scenario has happened before and for more than just expenses (sorry to bring up Leeds again). https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-united-latest/leeds-united-sport-capital-sues-gfh-for-33m-over-failed-leeds-takeover-bid-1-7078765 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious new companies, multiple dissolved businesses , asset transfers, loans taken out against the assets - there are serious red lights here people! http://priceoffootball.com/bury-minutes-to-midnight/ I’m certain the board will be well aware of this risk and I fully expect them to drop MC in the next few days . It’s not the bad press that alarms me it’s the lack of good press. Has anyone anywhere got some positive info on Mr C ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 When was the last time anyone made a success out of a business bought for a pound, I mean we have Rangers, Bury and BHS to name bought 3 and all of them went down the tubes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Just shows what a missed opportunity it was. For a £1, Scottish fans could have formed a consortium and bought them, then bulldozed the place and ended them. Hold on, is MC a Fifer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
