WAGMI United Ltd Takeover of Crawley Town

[Dave]

For those that are wondering, these are the Crypto people who showed an interest in buying Bradford City but were largely laughed off due to the naivety they demonstrated in how straightforward it would be to copy Brentford's model to get to the Premier League.

There press conference unsurprisingly was littered with 'Crypto Bingo' words and there's already talk of selling Crawley NFT's to there followers who they refer to as traders. Needless to say these 'traders' are closer to the people that stream from there mum's basement as opposed to the oil traders that work out of London offices which kind of takes the gloss off that statement.

The worry in the local area is that these lads see this as a marketing enterprise and not a football club. They want to be the "first Crypto club" and have purchased a club with good transport links that's fairly easy to get too. However Crawley Town as punching above their weight as it is and the ceiling they demonstrated when they were losing significant money was playoffs/top half of league one. What happens if these owners get bored when the reality of owning a football club with less than a 1000 season ticket holders with a ground that's difficult to extend settles in? 

I think theyre underestimating the size of the task ahead of them but as long as Crawley are around in five years then good luck to them.

[Dave]

Good Lord.

Does they carry out fit and proper tests at this level?

I think I've looked up what "NFT"s are about four times now and I still don't understand.

They're the 2022 version of Beanie Babies but on a phone.

I see the Crypto Bros have monitored all the data and analytics, and are getting some YouTubers in to play for them instead...

I'm not against this as a publicity stunt but maybe not do it when you're three points above the relegation zone and your fans are at there wits end with everything.

Sacked their manager after 3 games. Liz Truss lasted longer.

And their own players are questioning the clubs transfers on Twitter.

They're selling Dom Telford to Gillingham too! They're imploding at the minute.

The chairman is going to join interim-manager Darren Byfield in the dug-out for the next 2 games

Instead of evaluating B team players at a time when they desperately need points, what they could do with is putting somebody in charge who knows all the players that the players respect... Like Lewis Young who they forced out the club a month ago.

FA are an absolute joke. How can they say 'he's not a conscious racist' when this is the evidence provided to them. What does that phrase even mean

 

 

[Dave]

He is both a conscious racist and a bully. His post match press conferances were very telling on the type of character he is.
