I was a bit worried last week when one of their signings was Wells

 

To be fair, imagine us having THIS after the Rahic nonsense... I'm not sure any of us would be able to cope!

What would they be doing, dressing as buckets of KFC because we're chickens?

 

I think we've been through the same, where an owner backing the club means nothing if there is no knowledge of the game.

How can you have a strategy in place without expertise? Paying off debts is fantastic, no argument from me, and @wetherbywhaler was always praising Stefan for his work on the club's accounts.

However good players are useless in the wrong set up. We saw that with Eoin Doyle. Marquee signings are a waste of money under the wrong manager.

Crawley's owners have come in with good intentions and brought in a young manager with a good reputation when what they needed was a wise old head who knows how a club should be run and can implement a style and strategy that the club can follow long term.

Throwing money at football is no guarantee of success. Being a viable business with increased revenue streams is nice, but what's to stop you getting relegated out of the league?

See, there's two parts to a club: the business and the football team. You need both to be doing well, and in either case, one does NOT make sure the other works well.

Coming in and running a business is lovely, it really is. But it's not good enough.

 

I'm glad we avoided that bullet, since we already got the Edin Rahic bullet right between the eyes.

It would have been unfair to get a second helping of massive incompetence.

Don't forget where we were when Rupp took over.

We can't laugh at Crawley, we've zero room to gloat.

 

I was rooting for the new owners of Crawley, hoped they did ok. Seem decent lads.....but clearly clueless and out of their depth.

They they not employ a CEO or DOF with any experience???

Looks like we dodged a bullet here:

Crypto Chaos

 

You're always dodging a bullet by avoiding the guardian, mate.

 

Don't read Guardian as a rule, was reading the reports from last nights games, and came across the story

 

Soon as owners start getting hands on then 99% of the time it ends up going badly wrong as we found out 5 points from safety god knows the outcome should they drop ........... well we probably do ........ the owners Fook off into the sunset and yet another football community loses a club because these rogue owners ain’t monitored right

Not putting what he said on here but its on that article.

not funny, not banter...

Isn't it shocking we see these programs to end racism but no one seems to give a damn...


kick it out's statement on the matter.. the classic 'Banter' defence. Fits right in with "My family member/friend is x"

 

Yeah but if they had bought us and we got relegated and went bust, I would still have my Levi Sutton NFT to remember us by.....or something like that

 

They have announced their third kit is going to be an NFT?

And now signed Dom Telford

 

Wouldn’t be a bit bothered we all know what’s coming just feel sorry for the supporters when it does Fook up

 

This is, umm, certainly going to be an interesting ride for the Crawley fans!

The new owners are even referencing the creepy Crawley nickname
