WAGMI Utd

WAGMI would not have been a wise choice. Crawley fans hate them, and the club suffers massive annual losses. They nearly went down this year, and I have no faith in the WAGMI project.

 

I think you will find Crawley are doing well despite Wagmi selling off all their star players last summer. They have a manager that’s doing a brilliant job, something we don’t have.

 

Yeah, I don't want to be 7th either.

Herr, Rupps Bradford army!

 

A damming reality, a bunch of geeky yanks are better at picking managers than our powers that be. How many shots have we had at it compared with them.

 

did they put it to a vote?

 

Must admit, Crawley recruitment this season has been incredible. A load of lads from non-league and a few from random 3rd and 4th tiers across Europe and America. They've even loaned two lads from the league below. They signed L2 cast offs that couldn't get gametime at their clubs and it's all clicked.

They signed for a system and recruited against some scouting database apparently. Worked a treat so far!

 

Those sort of signings wouldn't go down well with our supporters or this forum.

 

It may have worked so far, but the fans have not bought into it. Their initial coin raise gave them funding to buy and fund the losses for two years. Beyond this, I doubt the model is sustainable. I predict an unhappy ending.

 

Our fans now feel similar towards our owner and leadership. Justified as well considering where we are.

 

Know nothing about the Wagmi boys or their modus operandi
Seeing as Crawley with little over 3k average attendance and in a play off spot
They are certainly out performing us

 

They slashed their budgets this season and offloaded all their earners, everyone had then written off at the start of the season.

But stats based scouting has a team with probably one of if not the smallest budgets this season in a play off mix. It's a big if, but IF they go up, it's a good base to either A) carry on the model of buying lads with good stats from non-league and try sell some of this seasons lads on for huge profits. Or B) someone likes the look of what Wagmi are doing and as its an investment type ownership, and someone can jump on board if the prospects look bright. Or even C) someone really likes the change of plan Wagmi have implemented since slashing the squad, binning off their DOF and re-shaping everything last summer made tries to buy them off Wagmi.

All ifs and buts, but I'd rather be in their shoes right now than ours.

 

Apparantly they would be Meh?

 

Even without Wagmi there are still 16 clubs out performing is so its not as if they have done something amazing is it ????
Look at the Harrogate model and yet again they have embarrassed us without a liad of money

 

I'd say at least 10 of those 16 clubs out performing us will have a smaller budget than we do. Heads should roll for that alone.

 

Crawley were faves to go down at the start of the season, they've done well and its down to their manager.

Wagmi is something we avoided and we should be glad for it

 

WAGMI were just so risky, I'm also glad we avoided them.

Ironically, though, the 'safe' hands of Stefan Rupp backed by actual capital is proving more dangerous!

This club's in real trouble.

Crawley could be in L1 next season.

 

Bit unfair really - it matches our recruitment strategy "you got a 7 seater and do you take the A19 every day?"

 

Whilst Crawley are annoyingly doing far better under WAGMI than ourselves under Rupp, something - I don't know what - is telling me it will all end in tears. There are far too many uncertainties with their cryptocurrency model. I may well be completely wrong as I'm not overly clued up in that market but i've just got a hunch.
