Club should get him in in some capacity now

Fella has tried really hard with us for years.

If it's true that God loves a trier, and he seems to be just a fan these days

Advisory board member I'd say. Big character in amongst KLDs shadowy suits
 
I wish I knew the truth behind this story. And not just “he’s a tin pot bullshitter with beans in his beard”.
Like, he totally believes everything he I saying. Why?! What caused him to think he’s a billionaire with ‘blue chip backers’. What caused him to think that the drink brand he invented but didn’t actually bother producing or selling, could ‘sponsor’ a formula one team without having to pay them anything and just get away with it?

It’s just a mental story if you pardon the pun, and I would love to know the real detail on it.

As above he's a Walter Mitty. A temu Frank Abagnale Jr. Or he's just big on the hustle.

Fake it till you make it. Many people like him in the world but he seems exceptionally good at generating publicity but as soon as the time comes to ante up with the finance professionals it disappears in a puff of smoke.

He's probably just a really good photocopier salesman who's spent a lot of time around rich people and has aspirations to join them.

Yeah I get that, but if you know you’re faking it, then you don’t sponsor an F1 team. Like they will want payment, and you will be in the spotlight when you don’t pay. And why bother when you don’t even have an actual product to sell? Where’s the value in a real sponsorship of a fake product? Even if more people are exposed to his imaginary brand, they can’t buy it. It’s not going to generate any money for him.
Was he gambling that the exposure would help him to land a very naive investor who would finance turning his imagination into a tangible product?

I think the thing I’m so fascinated by is how much he courts the spotlight for someone who has nothing to sell. Like most normal people would worry that it will expose the frailty of their position, but he is like a moth to a flame.

I suspect it's this. It also wouldn't surprise me if he actually has no right to use the Marcos name and he's gambling on the fact that whoever does own the rights can't/won't sue to stop him. I'm sure we will see all sorts of aspirational statements and a few drawings, but nothing more.

It does also beg the question how does he afford to live day-to-day, with no clear source of income...

He is officially onboard with the current owner of the Marcos brand.

"Now partnered with entrepreneur William Storey,"

It's bizarre. If you go on Companies House, you can see he's currently the director of one company, that is firmly in the red.

Who would want to partner with him?

Tony Brown, who apparently owns the brand, has a number of Marcos companies registered, if they have submitted accounts, they are also in the red.

Bunch of grifters.
