Shadwell Dog Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Whilst i realise the msg have made a right mess of things along with thd bod it just seems strange to me that a group of guys some of whom saved the club in its darkest hour lets not forget would sell the club on to individuals withput proper checks and in a who gives a feck who buys it as long as we get our money sort of way. It doesnt make sense. I mean why save the club in the first place. Why would superfan who built the southstand risk a situation where theres no club actually using it in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll bring along his evidence off twitter and we can get to the bottom of what really happened with bexley barbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Someone needs to. At the moment we have a bizarre Twitter account which had 22 followers and a handful of vague tweets about travelling to "New York" for unspecified reasons over a couple of years.The twitter just come across as a guy trying desperately to appear as billy big time as possible. Flying to and from New York and tweeting airport longes. He’s a shyster, mark my words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 What questions can fans realistically ask on Monday anyway? "Where has the money come from?" "Investments" "Investments in what?" "A variety of things" "How much did you make?" "I can't disclose exact figures" I really hope I'm wrong but this makes no sense to me. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkzombie Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 For me the biggest question to ask is...does the money you say you are willing to invest come from your own personal wealth or are there outside investors?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto Black Cat Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Just as you're right to be sceptical of Mr Campbell you have ever right to request more information from myself. The gentlemen who organised the the deep dive into Mr Campbell's background paid a reasonable sum of money to do so but I'm almost certain they would be perfectly willing to share this information if it was used to protect another football club. I will send an email to one of the organisers and see if I can at the very least get a summary to post on this forum. I've also been looking to find your club specific forum so I could add to a topic on there but to no avail. Could someone post a link to that please? Much appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud1876 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Every single question posted there is valid with the "where is the money coming from" question being the most pertinent. We need to see how things pan out but I have a horrible feeling about this. The current owners have no incentive to do appropriate due diligence if they get their cash for shares, if the club tanks after that it's no skin off their nose. At best, this guy seems and looks like an absolute oddball. People can post "EdiBairn lol" all they want but the future of the club is at stake and it could very well be falling into the sole control of a conman or asset stripper. Serious questions must be asked by everyone involved in the process or we'll potentially be setting up a phoenix club in 2 years time. The more I think about this, the more it terrifies me.This all day.We need some serious questions and some straight answers.We cant let anyone off the hook with avoiding answering what we would like to know.If he is serious and has nothing to hide it should be straight forward enough.Monday evening will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all what Marshy is saying is valid, and until there is more info, of course this all sounds a bit odd, but on the flip side, are we expected to believe a room full of sucessful business people (leave aside their stewardship of FFC) have been completely Lyle Lanley'd by this guy over a period of months to the point of approving a seven figure transaction for the sale of shares in a club they all claim to support?Does that seem realistic?More info for us is whats required, because unless the MSG and board have had a collective brainfart of a fucking biblical proportion, they have seen, and are satisfied with, a lot more info than we have. Whatever BtB lads say will be from our perspective with no need of a sugar coat. If this guy can clear that hurdle then hes likely good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for singling someone out, and it might get me an annoyed PM later, but I'm pleased to see BPM liked your post. Big man - nobody trusts the MSG to do the right thing as it may line their pockets. That might be grossly unfair and totally inaccurate, but it's a common perception amongst fans. We have no Bairnstrust or other organised fan body to represent us. That means it falls to BTB, Kenny, David, Keith and patrons like yourself. I'd suggest that you not only meet Mark Campbell, but also contact Sunderland fan s groups to see if there is any truth in these online rumours. Offer to meet some of the new posters on here too, in confidence, if they can provide evidence they think you should see. The fans need to do their own due diligence. Kenny & David have done brilliant work so far, but it may be that their most important task is still ahead of them. Are you guys willing to take up the cudgel on our behalf? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 If you have clear information into Mark Campbell being a con man then get it shared, if not then f**k up. P.s that doesn’t include fucking trip advisor reviews of a taxi firm or whatever that zoomer was posting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
