Do we need an Investor? - Page 2 - RedPassion.co.uk

Owners of football clubs are generally those who love to have their ego flattered. Most of the time, a football club is a pit to throw money into, rather than scheme to extract money from it.
We are an organisation with no assets, so what would interest an asset stripper? As a club, we have to change course, or we will be stuck in the non league forever.

Yes, bring in an investor and you’ll rise through the leagues -NOT!

Bury have already gone, Bolton will be relegated, Macclesfield are deep in debt and being sued by their players. Orient came tumbling down after being taken over by an Italian Del-boy, now Oldham are staring at administration and a 10 point deduction.
Even if we go down, we still have a functioning and viable club

What we really need at the moment is:

1. An effective club board accountable to a totally separate WST board.
2. An effective WST accountable to the membership.

..... and yes we always need more money. To argue against is just trolling.

What we have is an idealogical vanity project, Wrexham AFC used as a Willy extension.

Plus fan ownership ain't working, and I would say that relegation to the NLN when you are the second biggest club in the league is neither viable nor functioning.

Are you saying Tranmere Rovers are successful? Or Leyton Orient? Morecambe? Norwich? Luton? Stevenage?

What is your definition of success?
Football league membership?
Promotion?
A positive bank balance?
A production line of big money transfers?

In reality, very few clubs are successful. If you’re not the Champion club, or a promoted team, your a failure. I was looking forward to promotion this season, now I’d just settle for league survival.

I'm glad your trust those running the club as much as I do to do the required due diligence, all useless aren't they?

I mean look at the mess they made of the flats, having nothing written on paper.

Even a hardcore Wrexham fan with money would be chased out of town. Remember that consortium Bryn Law spoke too, the WST made rubbish up about certain posters on here being payed to bring the club sown in order to facilitate a takeover.

One of them is moaning about claims of his online activity, some will believe anything they get told.

Attack other fans in nothing more than a campaigner of hate for airing the truth, so they can get a few bits of gossip. Manipulation of people I think is a criminal matter too.

You've said we have no assets hence why invest. Equally many of the giant egos who have invested in reality don't have the money.look at bury .mac etc .They were there for personal gain and to help with the football.it foesneed a long term plan supported with real cash and sound appointments but please don't think for one moment that there is a Saviour out there. Lets try sticking together for once.
Ps wasn't at Chesterfield but it looked a cracking game from the highlights and the guys played well.
