Surprised no one mentioned this yet.

All fans of clubs should be very careful what they wish for. The current owner of Sunderland seems an OK guy from what I saw on the Netflix series and way better than Ellis Short. So now William Storey comes along and you all know what a tricky guy he is. If you don't, read up on the title sponsorship for Haas F1 that never was and the logo they had which was a rip of of bike company "Whyte bikes".

There is also the Rich Energy drink brand that you can't buy anywhere.

The energy drink doesn’t even exist from what I have read.

Surely even the unfit and improper fit and proper person test will catch this charlatan out...

Storey: “I have enough money to fund the club”
EFL: “Where does your money come from?”
Storey: “Selling energy drinks”
EFL: “How many energy drinks do you sell?”
Storey: “Erm....we haven’t made any yet”
EFL: “Excellent, welcome to the EFL!”

It is out there. It's been seen. Amazon were selling it but it's not in many places

Turns out the drink was finally launched in March 2020. It was before that I had read about it.

Here is the product: https://www.richenergy.life/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Interestingly, the registered company on that website does not show Storey as a director: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/comp ... 6/officers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Storey is however Director of this company: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/comp ... ng-history" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Unsure what the role of the latter company is in the drink.

Lightning Volt Ltd was formally known as Rich Energy Ltd until being changed in 2019. Accounts are late for LV.

The new director of RE is most likely a shadow director/accountant using his registered address (London) for the company.
