LesterRam Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Local ownership is always for the best(Rememebrs Gadsby trying to rock the GSE boat)Local ownership is usually for the best.Sir Lionel Pickering, that guy pumped is entire fortune into the rams, local hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He is after controlling interest yes.....first step??I refer back to the jokey comment that Rush made in his speech at the End Of Season Dinner about Mel Morris signing a big cheque for new investment. It seemed very much like an in-joke, so it wouldn't surprise me if we saw movement in this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Are you sure about this? Being Chairman of DCFC seems an easy job compared with putting candies into rows of three of the same colour.All well and good, but when you get onto them stripey ones......

ramblur Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I wouldn't read too much into this.'General Sports' has been removed from 2 company names in the group,so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to see AA step down as chairman. You then have to remember that,of all the other board members,MM is the only local man,so his appointment as chairman seems logical.We aren't a public company,so it's not a case of building up a stake as a base to launch a bid.In any case,there's no evidence of MM building a stake-all we have at the moment is the fact that he invested a year ago.Even if he puts more money into the club (likely),if others put in the same percentages,his stake would be unaltered.

Gary Teale Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I was told to be fair by someone with very good connections that this was happening a few weeks ago in the same story that Steve Mc was off to Newcastle and a deal had been done only for them to want him for the last few games but he didn't fancy that so it all fell through. As usual we all hear plenty of stories and most of them are rubbish but as he got the Morris bit right maybe he got the rest. I don't know the point of this post either.

Dale The Ram Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 As stated above does this mean he will buy the club outright or just appoint himself as Chairman due to majority stake and Brett Wilson (whatever his name is) supporting this.Littleover man, seems to love the club, with Sam Rush at his side it could be the magic to get us up but then again we cant really comment...........

Uptherams Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This is so sweet. Especially when I was laughed at when I suggested he would become an investor again after his success with Candy Crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well if he steps up his stake financially or emotionally we all win so we all have the last laugh. What a bizarre world we live in though.

Still thought as you said so long as he has the backing he will be appointed. Maybe I shall run for chairman, but the thought of running tires me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bloody gaming app has given this man such wealth. I think he earned his wealth from creating one of the original dating websites, believe he may have sold it off and with that money made a business out of funding computer websites, games etc. Funded Candy Crush idea and BAM landed himself in the money. Fair play to him I say,Started from the bottom now hes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him I say, Started from the bottom now hes here. He did. But Candy Crush among the others has pushed his net worth past the £500m mark last time I checked. His wealth has overwhelmingly come from those addictive silly little games. I wish him more continued success. Our stadium is looking a bit old.

LesterRam Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 he must have had better success in investing in apps, all my investments on crowd funding sites fell flat on there arse, in fact the owners are probably sunning themselves in the Bahamas with my investment, never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
