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.

You’ve chose to ignore the whole part about a judge saying how dishonest he is. If you can’t see the bloke is a complete fantasist then there’s no helping you.

Settle down mate. Did you read my entire post?

I actually said that i agree with the majority of what was written however, if you're going to tell a story at least give all the "facts" from both sides.

Just for the record, i didn't ignore what the judge said. Can you not see the red text after that point. If not then i guess theres no helping you either.

It’s almost like people aren’t who they say they are, ask Wigan or Bury fans.

I have zero faith either Donald or the EFL would determine some ones suitable or not.

The evidence provided in this thread is more than enough for concern.

Wigan and Bury were both in very different situations.

One thing you can rely on Donald for is getting his money back. Therefore, Storey can't front a consortium and take over the club without paying up to Donald.

I didn’t and still can’t see any red text, so there’s no helping either of us.

An energy drink that has yet to be seen in a shelf anywhere in the world.
Publicity stunt man?
Fake?
Fraud?
Pyramid scheme?
Debt finance?
Worse than Charlie Methlin?

It’s rare in stores but has been seen on the odd occasion. It’s more common (albeit still rare) in clubs and at events, it’s aimed at the luxury market supposedly.

Pre-COVID I would probably have agreed re Donald but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he had privately accepted that he's not getting his money back so is just looking for a quick sale. Certainly wouldn't put it past him to actively sell to the least qualified buyer he could find out of spite towards the fans either.

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.
