FAO Tony Frampton - a little clarity

Vital Football Legend
Tony, firstly, well done on doing the rounds of podcasts, but there are still some fundamental questions that haven't been answered ........probably because I don't think they were asked !

You (or someone you know, who then passes you feedback) obviously come on this site occasionally, so hopefully, you'll see these questions, and maybe provide some answers:

You say you're heavily involved with other sports enterprises, not only football...................... which ones?, which teams? How are they doing?

You say you have "specialist division which deals with the sports aspect of our investments" ................... what's it called, as it's not clear from the list of companies attributed to ASJ.

Re the infrastructure stuff ("hospitality, schooling, hospitals, transport"), given you said the business empire is around commodity trading, ..................... what experience do you have in such infrastructure projects? Have you done anything similar on other cities, with the other "sports enterprises"?

When you talked about marketing, and growing the fanbase etc, .............. were you able to do that with any of the other "sports enterprises"?.

You said you asked for exclusivity before the Spanish ............it doesn't sound like Krasner to turn down money ! But then, you said there was no mention of a requirement to put down a deposit,............ I can't believe that, as it's been mentioned from Day 1. I'm surprised you weren't aware. .

You forgot moonay do you believe in father christmas the tooth fairy and fairy tales
 
A pointless thread. Unless we've not been told something, the club is Moreno's.

As for Mr Frampton, the best of luck to him and his backers in the future, who knows maybe our paths will cross again. He's received exactly the same reaction amongst the fanbase that another former Latics owner received when he stood on a table and was roundly laughed at when he proclaimed that Fourth Division basement club Wigan Athletic would play in the Premier League. Remind me how that turned out again...

In which case, yours is a pointless post, on a pointless thread.

Even if Moreno takes over, all (or most anyway) of the questions are relevant, and certainly would be if he takes his ideas elsewhere (as is rumoured).

If our paths were to cross again some day, then I'd certainly like to know the answers ...... .wouldn't you ?

Our loss, will be someone else’s gain.

They’re fair questions though.
 
Moonay did you listen to Frampton on the PWU Podcast.....imo he didn't come across very convincing, didn't sound very assured of himself / the business & tended to go on a bit. Trouble is with us being shafted before it has made us ALL very wary of any bidder, especially one who appears to be offering all this stuff that seems too good to be true. Hope you get your answers btw.

Good questions Moonay, I've now listened to a couple of the podcasts and the questions asked by them was more to stroke his ego rather than probing his over extravagant plans.
 
I'm still hoping we'll get answers to these ................... not immediately, but at some point in the (near) future.

Have you not yet received anything from Frampton
Come on Frampton spies on here pass it on to Tony then he can answer moonay
I would just like to know moonay what if any are there any connections between Tony and Lenegan any hidden agendas
Which we wouldn't know about anyway until its too late

No need for anyone to pass it on Bicky. I've been told that Tony F is aware of the questions......... but he's a little busy, with more pressing matters on his hands at this point, ............understandably so. ;)

As for Lenegan connections, I can't see why there should be any short term worries from anyone. Warriors got a new investor on board last season, and from what I've heard and read, there's no reason to think there'll be any intention to "merge" the clubs in any way. That said, even if (longer term) that became an option, I don't see why any Latics supporter should be frightened of or concerned about that. As the saying goes, follow the money. Look at the amount of money in football compared to Rugby League. Regardless of the "rugby town" nonsense, if we recover from our current position - even just back to the Championship - there's no comparison.

Spot on mate but i cant see both clubs being united as one wigan would work
My main concern would be as you word it more money in football ,
Meaning that if we where to be controlled by rugby men then money from football would be used to run the stadium to pay running costs and so on for their benefit
And us then being run on a shoe string budget to keep us low down in the football pyramid
While maintaing high standard of rugby paid for by football income
