The questions will (I'd hope!) be answered in rather more depth if a proper due diligence process gets underway. If the level of questioning is whether the home fans will move back to the Chaddy End then anything meaningful there will be lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd settle for having the bird shit cleaned off the seats in RRE for now. That's not bird shit, it is the fluids of the athleticos after hearing of the messiahs return.

maximus1267 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Love the thought of a a wealthy Oldhamer owning the club and doing as he says. Want it to work as we all do but I am not won over by that interview. Nothing to do with crypto neither as I know we live in different times now but more to do with the fact that I know more about him in a 1 hour podcast than any one of our previous and present owners. Really hope I am wrong and he is all he says he is and his friends / group too. Im a pretty glass half full type too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he's not been in the country a great deal but stated his mother lives locally so i'd have thought as a fan he might have managed to get to the odd game in the previous 28 years. Not talking to you and your mates is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not interested in who he talks to to be honest, but if he does want to buy the club he needs to speak with the current owners and he's not done that.

Mr 10% Hardy came out to meet him I'm glad that's been confirmed. I saw that car as I left the ground and assumed I was seeing things, mentally wrecked after that bloody Carlisle goal.

Worcester Owl Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 For those who have criticised the consortium's plan as not having enough detail, more of a wish list etc: The purpose of this document is to create an understanding to the community and fan base as to our intentions and purpose for the club. “We will release a fully costed and detailed business plan in due course but until we have sight of the current financial situation, understand the clubs ongoing obligations and ownership structure, it is not yet possible to do this.” As quoted in the Oldham Times. A perfectly logical, sound and understandable position to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKing521 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I think a telling point of the interview was that he invested in BTC in early 2012. If he had invested $5k in March 2012 his bitcoins would be worth $36.5m today. Something tells me he invested a little bit more than that, along with his pals who he probably met who did the same thing. There could be serious money at play here.

Serious question as i know very little about crypto currency but how is easy is it to turn that $36.5m back into cash that you can use in everyday life?

As my limited understanding has it, it can be monetised, but that involves buying stocks and investments, which can then be sold for a monetary value. But, I'm still trying to get my head around it. You can turn it into tangible assets, like cars etc, which can then be sold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealerships are now taking crypto along with other high end producers. Of course there would be fees involved with monetising it so it is not what you want to do as you would be losing money all ways. But say you wanted to build a load of stuff and the contractor dealt in crypto, wher ethey got immediate payment without fees. Basically I think he is about being ahead of the curve. Like when we all didn't like the idea of contactless payments, or payment wallets. I rejected the idea initially, but in the last 12mths the only time Ive used cash is in the chippy on a Friday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a lot easier these days. Platforms like Binance and Coinbase which are available to the average joe have withdrawal limits per day, think the Binance limit is $1m per day. That being said, he's obviously not an average joe and he will (and should) have access to financial institutions online in the US or here in Europe where you can do a lot more.
