Not sure, didn't see him but someone called Joel Forbes presented MoM.Tony wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 6:46 am Did I see our previous chairman Scott Forbes at the game last night? Not sure if that is significant in any way but suggests some of the investors are still interested.
And a few games ago, wasn't the MoM presented by Jerry Ferrario who i thought was one of the American (ex)owners?EastTerracer wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 8:32 amNot sure, didn't see him but someone called Joel Forbes presented MoM.Tony wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 6:46 am Did I see our previous chairman Scott Forbes at the game last night?

One of, I think 27, entities who between them own half of the 'B' shares in Ramayana. Not in his own name though.RogerB wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 11:16 am And a few games ago, wasn't the MoM presented by Jerry Ferrario who i thought was one of the American (ex)owners?

Football is full of charlatans – but don’t lose hope. The ecosystem is crawling with self-proclaimed “experts” who are really just out for a payday or to boost their cool factor. From brokers and agents to would-be investors, most of them are more obsessed fans than actual pros. And honestly, that fanaticism clouds any sense they might have had!
Too many leagues and clubs are overrun by these dinosaurs who block progress while preaching “financial wisdom.” Irony? After 4+ years in the game, I’m still optimistic. There’s room for real change—especially when we stop mixing fandom with business. Without a solid business strategy and strong community engagement, clubs' futures hang by a thread, dependent on funders who will eventually tire of putting cash.
Plot twist: I’m not a football fanatic so maybe my job is to start calling out these clowns, stay tuned! At least at Hampton & Richmond FC, the value is real—1,600 people showing up to a 6th division match. We didn’t win on Saturday, but we sure made a lot of people smile!
Check out the album below—because sometimes, football’s still worth it.
