Attempting to raise capital makes it sound like they have no money man behind the scenes.
Australian FC website I hope is fake. Looks amateurish.

Ready to step up to the plate @OzAddick and become the Aussie One if need be?8 -
So they don't even have the money to buy us yet, let alone invest in the team?6

I enjoyed the line from the club about focusing on preserving league one status.

Underwhelmed.
Anything is better than Roland though.6 -
First name to break cover, will possibly encourage others to do so.
In RD's interests if he can provoke a bidding war.3 -
"Australia's first premier league football club"
What the actual fuck?9 -
Spivs, Belgian loony, Aussie nursery club. What could possibly go wrong?4
