    He’s a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. Think he has boxed as well and a musician, maybe. But global superstar is stretching it.

    How many more Lower league clubs are going to be bought by a celebrity to be "taken to the Premier League?"

    Don’t forget we courted that YouTuber for the Wrexham game at home last season.

    Hashtag have applied for voluntary relegation, so that's aged like old milk. (Unfortunately they don't have a website at the moment and their statement seems to be a powerpoint presentation.)

    40m Subscribers on youtube as well as billions of views, I think it's a reasonable claim.

    Fortunately in the next 20 years the premier leafue will be between 32 and 40 teams (10 or so in America and the middle east) with no relegation. So it will be feasible.

    once Millwall go up, then close it off with the Nigels in there too then leave them all to rot forever, with no hope of escaping, and a pointless existence with nothing ultimately to play for.

    Kind of nuts you can go from being a speccy kid making YouTube videos about fifa to being a worldwide mega celeb relatively organically.

    Unfortunately it’s not stretching it mate. 
    Massively famous globally to the social media generation.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe he's a bad bloke, unlike Jake Paul and the cast of the Manosphere. Plenty of famous gimps since TVs have been around (probably radio too) is just now you can get famous producing your own videos from your bedroom. It away it's like a punk rock version of TV and being older than the target audience it looks shit to the likes of us, just like punk did to the war generation.

    Lots and lots of 'claims' against him from a few years ago...was banned/blacklisted by quite a few brands....he went quiet for a bit (am talking 10 or so years ago)...but obvs, has 'come thru it' and is now back in the mainstream...

    The claim against him, in essence, was he motorboated someone, who consented to it beforehand, and someone else on their behalf filed a sexual harassment claim, despite the person it actually happened to telling them they were in on it and it was a joke.

    He hangs around with idiots like the Paul brothers, but he's nowhere near on their level of dickhead

    For some reason I read motorboated as waterboarded and went off to google waterboarding as i had heard that phrase before but didn’t know what it meant. 

    Motorboated seems perfectly acceptable after reading the other meaning..,

    Might not be bad bloke but they're all losers. Content creators are all divs in my opinion.
