Alfreton

Quoted from gtfc98

I didn't remove the original post and I'm not sure why it has been. Is it illegal to suggest someone is a racist because a disgusting post appeared on their twitter profile and I don't buy their excuse that it was hacked?

Bloody hell OJ SImpson could have field day suing the whole world at that rate!

hope you've got a good lawyer.


btw all this hate towards the mullins does seem a little mean spirited/small minded. he' was lucky to win his fortune and its entirely down to himas to how he spends his money. as far as i can tell he was a significant help in Operation Promotion and for that i thank him. i wonder if we would all be whiter than white (excuse the pun) if we found ourselves in similar circumstances? just a thought.......

I'm wondering how they got together and who initiated it. Is Macca part of the deal?

I don't know Lee Mullen and know nothing about him other than his involvement in Town, but it always strikes me as odd that people with money think that makes them knowledgeable on any given subject. I have no views on his involvement at Alfreton, but for him to say he is bringing his "knowledge of football and players" to them is quite funny, seeing as he was a director here for about 5 minutes.

Good luck to the chap all the same- it's good to see the smaller clubs prosper.

I sort of lost track of the Mullens story a while back. Has he completely cut all links with GTFC now then? Is he off the board/no longer a director? I presume this is the case, if he's investing in another football club.

Think he still has shares but isn't involved at the club any more. Could be wrong about that though.

Some of the negative posts on here regarding a guy who put money into our club when it was most needed says more about the posters than it does the Mullens, move on were better than that

What's the aim with Alfreton?

I mean, where could Mullens and his money realistically take them? What would success look like?

Well I think there is part of it that always feels like jealousy, I'm not keen on these interrogations the club have done with people who say things they don't like on this board but I don't think that's all down to Mullins. The other half seems to just be this belief some have that everything that touches the club has to be local and always 100% a fan of GTFC and they can't think about anything else but GTFC and they have to live locally.

Are you on the Alfreton board interviewing Mullens? Otherwise this just sounds like a really weird thing to say lol.

Haha! No, I'm not on the Alfreton board... suppose I've just been to too many interviews! But I'm genuinely interested in what Mullens, and all his footballing knowledge and experience, thinks is possible with that club.

What's in it for him? He's not going to make money from it. What's in it for the fans? A Conference club? A FL club?

Fleetwood, Crawley, FGR all prove that if you use the money wisely you can make it in to the football league. Wouldn't be surprised if AFC Flyde join them next year.

If Alfreton get in to the football league he may see a return on his investment and will have had a lot of fun along the way. If I was a millionaire lottery winner I'd be tempted to have a go!
