Five percent of the Danny Ward fee sold back to Liverpool

It's possible the model would work , but without doubt the running of the club has been shambolic at best , run for a few fanatics , possibly run into the ground . Get rid of the ego's and things could change .

Those in charge of JCP Wrexham should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.


Honestly, would a board of bricklayers have done any worse?

Indeed.

Wrexham AFC was never perfect but I doubt any of us believed the club could be as limited and small-time as this?

That's not about league position either, that's everything, ever single aspect of the club. Oh yes, and just plain nasty into the bargain.

I can’t defend the footballing strategy or lack there of, and it seems the money spent, but the club was losing money hand over fist.

Under moss they lost money on each plate of food they served in hospitality!

All clubs goals are to be sustainable. The fleetwoods and forest greens are trying to do that as they can’t be funded up the leagues.

What the club needs is better leadership

Is 3pmsat finally realising that it's not just the football side of a football club that needs changing radically . I think he's on the turn .

I think this clubs best asset are the fans , and look what they've done to their best asset , when they win and near the top they can attract very good attendance , but we all know what's happened there .

Some time later, Wrexham AFC was running low on cash so it was agreed to ask Liverpool if they would consider buying five percent of the sell on fee for £100,000 which they did. Years later Danny Ward was sold to Leicester City as he was deemed surplus to requirements at Liverpool for 12 million which meant that we should have received 1.8 million. As we had sold five percent back to Liverpool it meant that we only received 1.2 million and lost out on £600,000.

Speak to Don Bircham or Dave Roberts and they will confirm that the sell on fee agreed was 15 percent. Ask the trust board to confirm or deny this and also look at the accounts, it’s in there but all hidden away.

If this were to be true my question would be when did we sell this percentage and why?

The initial rumour at the time was that we had sold it completely.

Now its that we sold a percentage.

Again. I thought this was debunked at the time. Is this not another famous Wrexham urban legend.

Well I'm not a member, or owner whatever, as I've never rated fan ownership from day one..
But a statement to those who are, bearing in mind the amount of money that's possibly been lost wouldn't go amiss..

Then you could tell us non believers..
