Midlands 103 not allowed to ask off field questions last night. Apparently they were lucky to get an interview with the manager at all.
I dont get all the negativity around athlones investor. I heard fortune on one of the podcasts saying since they came in athlone had a good preseason with everything laid on. Meals training gear etc etc. Thats a good thing.Whats with all the bad press.
Clearly not. This is a club with a few hundred people going to games and not a penny to their name id say. Along comes a portugese guy for whatever reason willing to spend some cash and bring in players and all i see is people questioning it. Id be singing from the rooftop if i was an athlone fan. Its not real madrid were talking here. Sure get rid of him then and go back to been **** poor and shakeing buckets around the streets to survive.
As in our old friend * could be added to events or worse bye bye Athlone?
It's a bizarre set up. Appoint Colin Fortune, let him sign a mostly local squad then with about two weeks until the season starts bring in a mystery investor, and a load of Portuguese coaches with no track record in any kind of respectable league and a French "Director of First Team Operations" whose employment at a Lithuanian club saw them being beaten 10 and 12 nil in games. Plus a load of Eastern European nobodies. I can only imagine what the dressing room dynamics are like.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
How does the 'investment' even work at what is in theory a members club? Have they bought a load of memberships or have the current membership agreed to sign over ownership?
And as for the group ready to step in- what's the story there?
