From our contact in the US..........http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-3982314/Team-Sports-Shareholders-From-Georgia.htmlPosted this on Owlstalk and had my account frozen within 10 minutes (independent my arse) but at least people are starting to ask questions.Like why does John Prutch have 4 companies, all claiming to be "leading investment/merchant banks" all based out of 2 Prudential Plaza in Chicago on the 14th floor which happens to be the Regus/HQ temporary office space and the last company (Adams Harris) who occupied the office they are in outgrew the space (when they reached 3 people).OR Why does Jon Pritchett, on his Tobacco Road Capitalists site, list 5 deals they "did" as being their selected accomplishments.....except only one was an actual "deal" - the aforementioned TRAC which was hardly an accomplishment.  Scheer Sports, General Sports Venue and FWH are not "deals" or "accomplishments" - they are companies he has worked for.Be kind of like me starting a website for my "investment bank" and listing Deutsche Bank, Shell Oil and Baker Tilley as "clients"..........SOJoe Kosich or "Anglofile" - who is this man who is "no longer involved" but yet refers to Club 9 Sports in the first person.  He was not the Head of Structured Finance at Wachovia in 2005 - 2007 as his public bio claims - that title was held by Brian Zwerner who has never heard of Joe Kosich - but he is now listed as being the founder of Dornoch Capital (the group who eBayed Tranmere).  Dornoch describes itself thus : "Dornoch Capital Advisors, LLC is a merchant banking and advisory firm with offices located in Chicago,Birmingham, U.K., Milwaukee, Beverly Hills and Orlando, FL and headquartered in the Village of Pinehurst, NC." Dornoch actually has one employee and one office - a two story house converted in to small office suites in the tiny village of Pinehurst NC.  Amazingly these facts were not just confirmed but POSTED by Joe Kosich on Owlstalk last week.So put John, Jon and Joe together and what do you get - not a lot.  One deal in the 21st century - a failed NASCAR rip off that went down in a hail of lawsuits and losses - lots of bragging and big-upping on websites, lots of ''fan friendly'' posts on Owlstalk and not the first sign of serious investment.It''s like someone subbed LS in for KW, and a combination of Joe (online) and John (freebies in the directors'' box) taking the place of Geoff (Sheard) and here we are back in March 2008 talking about days away (sorry, smell the money it is this time), proof of funds being supplied (negotiations at a delicate stage this time) and so on and so on etc etc etc.Club 9 Sports have a history of doing this - there are 3 other deals on the web where everything was "done" only for last minute hitches to come up.  And here''s the crowning moment - amazingly one recent failed Club 9 Sports deal involved a Tennessee "towing tycoon" backing them to buy in to a San Diego ice hockey team - that "tycoon" was one Bill Miller.....recognise that name? 

Jon Pritchett is now working for Club 9 Sports.  These are the American Investorsthat Anglofile is working for.  It''s all very suspicious.  Every post I have put on aSheffield Wednesday board questioning these people has been deleted.I have written to the Football League, but no response yet.http://www.club9sports.com/

You may be interested to know something more about these people.  They are hangingaround our club, so we have been looking into them.http://charlotte.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stories/2004/03/01/daily36.html
