Stephen Cleeve - I bought a Football Club - RedPassion.co.uk

harrypothead · 28th November 2020, 06.13:19

Has anyone listened to what this man has to say about the takeover of our club? I had a listen to his show and he was going on about how he knows that it's not just Rob and Ryan that are buying us, he seems to think Humphrey Ker is actually a third owner? He was questioning why Humphrey Ker has not been named up until now. Apparently Humphrey has confirmed he is the 3rd owner on Twitter? He also goes on saying the only reason for the deal to go through is for the documentary, and the plan is a very short one. Maybe 3 years, and within that 3 years Rob, Ryan and Humphrey will get their 2 million back and more from documentary.

Is this a jealous man who once tried to own us, a bit of sour grapes, or does he know somthing we dont?

Didn't Ryan and Rob say they were on here for as long as we would have them? Did they mention that they wernt in this for the money and the club would get the documentary money? Is Humphrey Ker another owner or is he working for Ryan and Rob on the Documentary side?

A few questions that I'm hoping someone on here will have the answers too. Very negative spin on the whole deal from Mr Cleeve to be honest.

Ker has confirmed he’s not the 3rd owner on Twitter, but will be working for the club.

Frankly what has it got to do with Cleeve? Shoo.

Like hes bound to know what actually is happening !!??
Sour grapes spring to mind

Never heard of Humphrey Ker but just read his Wikipedia. His background seems as far away from WAFC as can be, so why the connection? Weird to say the least!

Let’s be honest, if there was the slightest bit of dodgy dealing in this then the Lindsay Jones’ of this world would have been screaming it for all to hear. Their silence tells me it’s all above board.

Given his track record for honesty I wouldn't worry about what he has to say too much

He needs to dry his eyes.

We all know the potential deal wouldn’t have even been made public if there was a plan to leave after 3 years. Also, R&R barely need £2m do they, and if they wanted to make that money, they wouldn’t take part in a long-winded project over the Atlantic for it.

Cleeve knows nothing and demonstrates this again with ill informed comments. For those who attended the zoom with R&R they gave the impression this is not a short term project. They also made it clear that they aren’t looking to make money. Cleeve is like many outsiders making up a narrative because they read a headline without examining detail.

As for Ker then any role he has will come out soon. May be he will be on the new board with responsibility for media/communication or perhaps he is producing/directing the TV series.

I’m sure there will be other board appointments to help run the club locally.

Personally I’d prefer R&R as owners than Cleeve
