Tue Mar 02, 2010 8:26 am
apart from look for potential investors for any other club other than ours !
Seen him on SSN last night and he is fully behind the Red Knights take over bid and fully supoorts the green and gold campaign
Wonder what would happen if we start the chocolate / amber campaign would he come out and give it our backing ?

He is one of the Red Knights who are looking to get rid of the Gkazer and take over utd. Looking at it he's more worried about utd and does f**k all for us.

He's on the board for one reason only. To support Ridsdale should anything like the current crisis arise. And he's doing an excellent job in that respect

Nobody knows and our Board cannot confirm if he's been paid and if he has they don't know how much.
Beggars Belief.

When he came out and told Man U supporters not to renew season tickets or purchase merchandise until the Glaziers were gone I said that he must have a buyer ready to go in. Lo and behold today he is behind a £1billion takeover.
I know we are giving him stick for not doing the job he was brought in for but you cannot make a silk purse out of a cows ear. We have to be aware of where this clubs stands in respect to potential investment and it is pretty low.
The major investors go for the premiership clubs to start with and even then the billionaires are only interested in the cream. The likes of Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are high profile and attract investment like flies around shit. You then have the clubs with potential who attract investors like West Ham, Villa & Man City. Investors tried it with a club perceived to have potential (Portsmouth) and that club ended up overstretching and are now in Administration.
Very few clubs outside the Prem are even worthy of a multi-millionaires time. Derby were different as they still show a massive fanbase but their fanbase has reached its' pinnacle. Clubs like us, even though we know the potential for growth, are never on the radar. We have another oddity that for some reason I believe affects our potential for investment and it's the fact that we are a Welsh club. It may sound odd but, to me, people far away in Asia or the US do not understand our position, it's as if they decide to invest and type "English Football Teams Worth Buying" on Google.
It shows where football is going when investors see potential in a club valued at over £1Billion when they are already at the top of the sport, but the same interest cannot be seen in a club to be bought for £40million. Nowadays no one investing wants to take a risk.
As for Harris' position, I think is first job was to bolster PR's power within the boardroom as another backer should shit hit fan. If Harris could find a buyer, to PR, that was just a bonus. PR has probably given him the remit to only look at buyers who will give him a massive return on his shares.
The more I think about it Pter Ridsdale must be rip for a massive investigation into his business practices and tax issues. I'm not talking about some Welsh programme, he has got to be worthy of a Panorama (Sorry for the swear word Annis) investigation.

He doesn't get paid but he was GIVEN £250,000 worth of shares in our football club for "services provided by his company." Another one riding on the gravy train that's about to hit the buffers.
