William Storey

He confirmed his asking price after covid though mate. I also don't see why he would accept a massive personal loss out of spite.

I doubt very much that Storey will be the new owner, I just dispute the theory that him owning us is a disaster waiting to happen. I see 2 possible outcomes:

1) He can't afford the club and there's no harm done.

2) He can afford the club with his backers and the narratives about him being skint are incorrect.

I don't see the scenario where he can both own our club and be a fantasist without a pot to piss in.

Can't see his public asking price being anything more than a tactic to try and leverage more money out of interested parties, surely even he knows deep down that the club in it's current state is worth nowhere near the £37 million he was quoting. Apparently him and FPP were miles apart on their respective valuations of the club a year ago and the value will have only decreased further since then.

1. Rich Energy's bank balance is £581. (No figures missed off).
2. Rich Energy haven't filed any accounts - even though they are overdue - since 2018.
3. It is impossible to purchase Rich Energy in any shop that I have ever been in.
4. An F1 team went into administration when he was claiming to be interested in buying them because they knew he wasn't credible.
5. When he went to court for stealing the logo of Whyte Bikes, the judge found that he was dishonest- her comments are worth repeating as he seems to have pulled the same stunt on our fans here:
"I found both Mr Storey and Mr Kelly [Storey's friend and logo designer] to be poor witnesses. Mr Storey provided different and inconsistent accounts of the development of [the Rich Energy logo], which also conflicted to a large extent with the evidence of Mr Kelly. He often did not answer questions directly, preferring to make speeches about his vision for his business or alternatively seeking to evade questions by speaking in generalities or in the third person plural. He only answered several questions when I intervened. He had a tendency to make impressive statements, which on further investigation or consideration were not quite what they seemed."
6. He claimed in court that he had sold 90 million cans of his drink. He changed that to three million.
7. He sponsored an F1 team then fell out with the owners of the team, and the other shareholders in his own company.

Aaaah yes, but apart from that..........
 
On the surface this all seems strange but what if his unusual tactics have been forced on him by what's happening with the party who have the exclusivity clause.

When reading the transcript of his recent interview it didn't sound quite as wacky as I was expecting.

A few bits of it had me wondering if there was any connection between him and the Fulwell73 people, I've no real reason to think that but there you go.
 
Well the pictures corrrect it is on the prom at seaburn and the mist/overcast is correct too. I've just came back from down there but didn't see this fella. ..
