The situation with us being on our knees compared to some other clubs in and around us in our league for me is just bizarre.

    Cormack just strikes me as trying to be abody's pal - it's not what he's here for. Yes it's an improvement on Milne, but Cormack LOVES the spotlight, he's shown that ump**** times already on his short tenure, and i fear his massive ego will be a problem for the club not a success.
    The end game is an interesting question and may have different answers for the various parties.

    Cormack - local boy done well, more money than he can ever spend in ten lifetimes, has an ego and likes the high profile so decides to buy his local football team, probably not overly concerned on ever getting a return on his investment

    Atlanta - owned by Arthur Blank (who also owns Atlanta Falcons) with an estimated net worth of $5 Billion so a £2 Million investment is chicken feed to them. Probably genuinely trying to create some sort of two-way pipeline of talent flow but clearly off to an inauspicious start with the Gallacher and Hernandez experiences. One of their core values is giving back to the community so probably chose us partly due to the Community trust work, which is genuinely top class. I would imagine won't care if they have to write off their investment as a rounding error to Arthur Blank.

    Tom Crotty - a venture capitalist with links to both Cormack and Bobby Clark (set up a youth football charity with Clark's son) and one of the reasons he gave for getting involved with AFC was again the community work, but probably wouldn't be averse to getting a return on his investment as well.

    Roger Lee and associates - pure venture capitalists and have never been quoted as to why they invested. Lee has invested with Cormack and Crotty before and has a number of investments in e-sports. Obviously only in it to make a return on his investment but I am f'cked if I can think how he will do this in Scottish football unless I am missing something - can't see e-sports being that big for AFC but I suppose I could be wrong.

    As to us being on our knees more than any other club, we just won't be, we are just being more vocal than the others as that probably suits Cormack's agenda with the Scottish Government. All 12 SPFL clubs will be losing money ranging from a lot to a f'ckin mountain sized loss at sevco

    Yeah it’s the Arthur Blank bit That interests me. I know him due to his love of the Falcons and how much he’s poured into them through the years - he likes an interest in every sports team in Atlanta hence he probably took the “soccer” team on as just an added flow of interest for his portfolio. He’s worth 5-6 billion, wish he’d take an interest in us! It’s Darren Eales that interests me, he’s president of Atlanta FC, but a director on our board. His interests have to be conflicted and heavily in favour of Atlanta. With his legal background he’s a really interesting piece of the puzzle in terms of the overall end game here.
