Offer come in for the club (rumours thread)

[sofatester]

I agree but we are allowed to talk about what has been reported so far.

Reported? No just hearsay.

I think it’s about moving wealth away from the usual / powerful. Flawed like but I like the concept

think its more about the rich finding new ways to mine a devoted fanbase, who are willing to pay to support the club, for more £££. the big clubs have been doing it this season with limited NFTs and it just looks like the biggest scam.

Could be done in good faith but im already questioning a potential owner who is looking to fleece fans before even getting through the door themselves

If this is the actual plan we should be getting our concerns out ASAP before they sell on this basis. I can not see a way in which crypto-trading of shares to the fans is a good idea, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

“IF” - then I agree

Your best bet mate is to get a petition started asap

Trading via shares is no different to crypto.

It'll just be an Easy way to share the shares to fans. Download an app and buy a part of Sunderland. Obviously targeting younger fans

Shares are literally linked to the intrinsic value of a company.

Crypto is pegged to the value of fuck all and is only used by money launderers and people who spend far too much time on Tor.

He’s just copied what has been said on here. Don’t bother

He’s just confirmed fan shares a possibility, nowhere has that been mentioned and it’s massive is it not ?

But you'd own the club via a crypto currency aye? What happens if it halves overnight? There is nothing you physically own.

Going to be class watching people who pay cash for their tickets now having to work out how to pay using Ethereum instead.

Reported? No just hearsay.

And we are still allowed to talk about it. It would be a major issue and it's the latest thing that's been rumoured.

 

[samsafc]

..i don't think fans should be involved personally.

100% agree

 

[Oily Oily Oily]

The richest bloke in the world uses crypto, how could you not be a serious group?
Inter Milan have there own coin I’m sure now.

Which can happen with crypto but that's another thread.

I heard a rumour that the new investors want to be challenging the top 4 of the premier League within 5 years

 

[samsafc]

Sucked the optimism out of me this fan owning crypto crack like. Even just the fan owning thing regardless or crypto was bad enough to put a dampener on things.

Same as when a share half's over night. You take your chances. Shares aren't guaranteed either.

 

[Jambezz]

Assume it would be something like this, which Inter and a few others use:

You must be logged on to see external links

Imagine it's basically a way to take advantage of fans loyalty/money, but don't see why it needs to be meltdown central. Nobody is forcing people to spend their cash on that stuff.

 

[Super Ted]

Couldn't think of a worse club for some hipster billionaire to own than us, Fans being able to purchase shares in Crypto yet half couldn't even work out how to print a Wembley ticket or use a QR code.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Whats all this about crypto?

 

[Zidane]

Itll be interesting on here when its announced as some Asian bloke who always wears leather gloves, is known as being afraid of germs, owns several secretive islands and trades in blood diamonds.
