    Sounds very much like sour grapes to me, what a big opportunity we’re missing out on and plenty of other clubs are interested, minority of fans etc etc.

    I’d be very interested in a more detailed conversation with the club about the exact state of play as of Saturday with rumours of announcement videos having been filmed and the FC100000 website saying a club had been found. It doesn’t tally up.

    You’re going to get the Club’s official statement (I posted it elsewhere) and that’s it.

    What an absolute tool that guy is! We have on average 4000 fans through the turnstiles every other week supporting the club through thick and thin…yet he had the audacity to claim that if club goes bust it is the fans’ fault! Shame on the club for ever entertaining this clown!!

    Sounded like a bigger version of the 1899 scheme, didn’t really want to go into too much detail did he about what happens to the money paid in if things go tits up. 750 members already since Saturday, really, if that’s the case what figure do they get to till the website suddenly disappears along with the money?, like you would sign up to a monthly subscription without actually knowing what’s coming and who with, no thanks mate if we go under we will go under with dignity not because of another snake oil salesman.

    Bullet well dodged. He sounded utterly clueless, all based on ifs and maybes, no substance to the model at all.

    To be fair, if the original MyFootballClub is anything to go by…they did manage to get paying subscribers before they were ever involved with Ebbsfleet. So there are definitely people out there ready to subscribe to that unknown (and word has it they had such a big churn of subscribers because they were expecting to takeover Forest or Leeds, not Ebbsfleet lol).

    Would I want these types of people to have any sort of involvement with my club? Hell no!

    I just feel it’s a big gimmick, flash in the pan. People get bored of this type of thing very easily.

    They’ll be OK if they’ve got plenty of clubs queueing up to deal with them.
    Let’s see where they turn up next, hopefully nobody is that desperate.

    The unfortunate thing is it does have an air of predator behaviour about it.

    Vultures circling round any poor sods in dire situations. Promising piles of no strings attached cash, except for the opportunity to film people making cups of tea in the boardroom, maybe a 24hr livestream of watching the pitch grow.

    I don’t buy the social, doing it for the love of the game angle.

    Sympathies to any clubs on their hitlist.

    ‘It’ll be the fans fault..’, etc. Sounds familiar.

    The thing that gets me is that they have tried to run before they can crawl. They haven’t even launched officially so are nowhere the 40k subscribers so why have they even started touting clubs?

    I think they have put certain people in and around the club (the director(s) and CEO who had the conversations and the ‘prominent’ fan in the video) in a difficult spot before they even had any money to take this further.

    To then come out and blame us the fans for killing this off is pure gaslighting at its best.

    There are 9 other clubs listed on their GCSE looking website, I bet the fans of those clubs are a tad worried now (who came up with the list? Have they just plucked the ‘lucky 10’ at random or have they scribbled them on the back of a fag packet? They didn’t have any subscribers to create the list).

    The list is interesting. Some are obvious why they have interest, in that they are former league clubs, like us, who have fallen on harder times (Hartlepool, York, Torquay), but why were Hampton & Richmond on there? Seems a bit off field for it to be some random pick of clubs to include them if it was done to make it seem more legit.

    Maybe to do with one of the company Directors having a Richmond address on Companies House. Maybe threw in his local club and it’s maybe one of those other clubs ‘in discussion with’?

    Bloke’s deluded. ‘Sleeping giant’ my backside. Clearly no idea.

    Good evening Dragons
    We’re looking for 40,000 gullible subscribers to enroll for the miserly sum of just £5 a month.
    We don’t own a club, we don’t have any shares in a club, we don’t even understand the operational complexities of the running of a football club and it’s coexistence in the local community.
    Our plan is unique and the very fact that we aren’t connected to any club will allow us to move swiftly and acquire the 50% +1 shareholding once we’ve milked sufficient funds from the marks.
    How much capital will we require, which club will it be, when will the accusation take place… all in good time Dragons; all in good time.
    Liquidity, fluidity & dynamicity are the key ingredients to our scheme – not nuts & bolts, bricks & mortar.
    We’re looking for 2 Dragons to come in as Super Subscribers – we’re looking for a million pound per Dragon for 10% (each) of our ‘business’.
    I’ll remind you Dragons, that there are eight billion punters on planet earth – shoot for the stars, buckle up and prepare for the flight of your life!

    Ts & Cs apply.
    Rodney has these available for anyone who may be interested in the (lack of) detail.
    Become a TIT, subscribe today!

    “I think that went cushty Rodney, eh?”

    “Yeah Del, cushty; triffic!”

    This FC group released this over a weekend when nobody could put any facts to the rumour and therefore created a void. Concerned fans subsequently filled that void but not the way this bloke wanted. Tough mate.

    He also accuses fans of a mob mentality, yes mate that’s football and the passions evoked by messing about with a fans club are unprecedented elsewhere in life.

    This absolute wanker (who actually talks bits of sense) picks on a club whose fans have been twice stung by Ernest Pawn and WHAM and expects the red carpet to be rolled out.

    Goodbye from me and do not comeback.

    The board need singling out for nearly signing off on a deal behind all our backs without letting us know. This hasn’t sat well at all with people.
