Deep Pocketed Owners

[terrymechan]

After hearing about the local billionaires who own Stoke City, we have our own Plymouth born and resident billionaire in the person of Chris Dawson owner and founder of the Range chain of stores.
Maybe he would like to throw a few bob in to purchase the club someday.

I have spoken to him numerous times in person about this and he has zero interest in Plymouth Argyle

Sorry, this comes up so frequently, it’s been done to death many times over on here.
Chris Dawson is just not interested in Argyle - or football - at all.
End of thread.

 

[Lundan Cabbie]

He is only interested in making money, not losing it.

 

[Greenscombe]

There is no one 'local' interested in investing - lets face it there have been enough opportunities over the years and there were no takers when we were in L2 let alone the Championship.

Only about 7,000 times.

He likes speedway and looking at Britain's Richest Person lists.

I think the next time this comes up we'll simply bin the thread.

Very very few rich clubs in England are owned by local people.

Even when we were teetering over the precipice of liquidation, he didn't want to step in, despite it would have been chicken feed for him.

That's not a slur by the way, just an observation on the interest he has in Argyle.

If it made money the barrowboy would be all over it like a rash, even if he did hate it.

 

[Mr J.B. Easten]

Put a speedway track around the perimeter of the pitch and a Range or Wilko concession in the concourse and he’d be there faster than you could say Forbes Phillipson Masters.😉

Only about 7,000 times.

I think he tried something like that at Yeovil (whilst we were in admin) and even that fell through.

 

[Guiri Green]

If he stepped in, he wouldn't be the local 'billionaire' for too long.

That's why he never will.

 

[Tugboat]

Too tight and would financially strangle Argyle by wanting a return on every pence invested.

Stay well away

Someone once said 'The best way to become a millionaire in football is to start off as a billionaire'.
