Topic: Leaked - possible investment

If i was the club id be desperate to get Crawford back in a recruitment capacity, the players he brought in at that time that have gone on to have good careers is very impressive and looking back we should have done much better but that probably tells you more about his management ability unfortunately...

Nisbet - Aberdeen
Edwards - Charlton
Mayo - Killie
E. Henderson - Beerschot
Fraser Murray - Killie
Scott Banks - St Pauli

...to name a few

Good contacts, good use of the loan system and obviously had an eye for a player, whether he would come back is a different story i suppose. As mentioned above hopefully the new owners focus on the first team squad, and can look at the overall growth of the club once we received the riches of premiership football

^^^^ Spot on 👍

Crawford did an incredible job with limited resources. Would love to see him back.

I was lead to believe a few weeks ago that a rich American was the preferred choice. I didn’t hear it in the pub before anyone says. I heard it in wee Asda. That’s all I can say tho… got to look after sources!


What other sport does this individual have ties to?


I’ll respectfully refrain from commenting


Anything to do with Boston?

"Ryan Reynolds please"

other than being Canadian the loans they are saddling wrexham with would be a huge concern for a normal football fan when it eventually goes t!ts up (Gretna/Brookes Mileson style)


Difference with that is Reynolds has some serious financial clout, they get decent endorsement deals and if they make it to the PL in the next 3/4 years then they have made it to the dreamland of football financially.

Brooks was just a millionaire that wanted to leave a legacy and sp*nked his smaller wealth up the wall.

If it wasn`t for the association with Trump, I could see "Make Athletic Great Again" caps selling well.

I think we should be very careful what we wish for.

There are very few business people that are not looking for decent return on investment and none of them would be American.

I’m not really sure what you could do with a provincial Community Scottish club to get any return.

Even Reynolds and MCal……..the other one will be banking on PL football for their return.

Bit sad that a lot of British businesses in general have been bought over by foreign owners but it seems to be the way most things have gone over the years.

It`s not an easy business to make money from particularly at this level in Scotland but hopefully the next steps will be positive.

Steven Mill on the big Scottish football podcast saying today that the Record Article is not entirely accurate-in fact a lot of it not accurate at all.

There are still 3 or 4 really interested parties.

He’s expected a statement or something from the club hopefully in the next few days.


Funnily enough the word I heard over the weekend was -it’s not Americans 🤷🏻‍♂️

God knows what’s happening.

Still would love a MAGA hat tho (Make Athletic Great Again)

Thanks for flagging this up.

I wonder where the "not entirely accurate" facts might differ from "not accurate at all" stuff ?

Sounds like six of one and half a dozen of the other ?

BTW - "Still would love a MAGA hat tho (Make Athletic Great Again)"

Several outfits online will do a baseball cap with your chosen text.

Jist dinnae.
Even the slightest hint of the Pars having anything to do with that fascist rapist brings me out in a sweat.

I know you are likely joking but pleeeeezze don`t put ideas in folks heads.

I`m away for a lie doon now.
