Monty Burns Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) l'll go a step further saying it is of course possible he only bought the club to elaborately go missing on his bathtub voyage to avoid paying the rich guy tax, like Krusty did in the well known prophecies of The Simpsons when he made our whole town look at him before flying a plane into a mountain.

Ultimately you just don't know people's intentions until they become clear. I think we can trust Frank, he seems genuine. I think they can trust Rob/Ryan, they seem genuine too. I am certain with enough effort, which I certainly don't have, we could find scores of clubs who've been fucked over by 'local' owners, down the years? I agree with every word of this. Doesn’t matter where owners come from, what matters is how they run the club and treat people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want is a genuine local family with a bit of money (but not so much that they don’t want to run the club sensibly) and who have the community and fans best interests at heart………oh wait Happy Birthday Frank! I'd swap it all for Brad Pitt. The Hollywood Celeb model is working a treat at Wrexham... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we had twice as many players last season that's pretty commendable. When Frank said "we decided not to interfere oh the football side of things" what a stark contrast that is to the previous regime ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Heard someone mention today that some kind of documentary is being made about Frank. Also noticed a camera crew following him around, which I also spotted at Southend last week. Anyone heard exactly what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good speech I agree - I just wish that someone would point out to Frank that if you have a microphone in hand, you don’t need to shout! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 could hear some of it thru the PA and l wasnt even in the ground. either he has had a tinker with that aswell or the clouds help! the aldershot commentary guy slowed his talk at one point then said 'sorry, l was just trying to pick out what that announcement was' it was Boyz In Blue by Ball and Latics being played at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
