Thanks!

It's a cooperative, one member, one vote, no trading of your share, club could never be bought.

ok... so we've raised 500 mil. We own the club

We need a winger. He'll cost 20 mil

what then?

Predicatbly, it doesn't say. My guess would be from operating profit or extending the membership scheme, but more likely from the president/baords own money. Depends who you elect to run the club.

Gotta be a bit more to it than that FFS.

Gotta get bbus home, will see if owt more emerges by the time i am back.

they should have got Dalglish or Rush or even Tommy Smith to front the campaign to give them a bit more credibility.

I understand that Rogan is quite a knowledgable and decent guy but he's got no media presence.

People are asking why this wasnt covered live by sky, bbc etc - why would they - what's the big story ?

They need a heavyweight front man - even David Moores could do it.

How do we get investment in the future
or cash to buy players?

If we have a well run, debt free Club to start
with, there will be money to buy players (how much do you think is spent servicing the Club’s debts?). Also the elected Board may wish
to raise money (as any business must sometimes). At Barca, very rich individuals
stand for election with promises of further investment. But it doesn’t mean they
‘own’ any part of Club.

Flog Kuyt, Voronin, Benayoun, Aurelio and a few others. Easy

please dont forget that all the income streams for the club still remain the same - fans will still come to games, tv money will still be paid to the club, the sponsors will still pay their fees.

Everything stays the same - but we dont pay any short term interest loans to the tune of £30m to the bank.

That money stays in the club for transfers, facilites, youth teams, personnel - basically running the club as now - just without the loan repayments.

I tried to put my name down but saying I couldn't afford £5000 but it didn't work through this link...

the club will be receiving a reported £30m extra from sky this year. Instead of that money going to pay off the fekkin loans - it will be used for transfers.

does that clear things up ?

Seriously. I'd put up with 5 or even 10 years of mediocrity to see this plan reach fruition. Now is not the time to drag up individual queries about aquiring players or who sits where in the stadium etc. If it works for Barca that'll do for me

[rage]

does anyone think anybody like G&H or DIC will buy the club without making a profit? We'll buy new players from our profits, profits that will be enhanced 'cos we're not paying 20 odd million in interest payments.

Also, when someone wants to became chair or whatever they bring money in with them.

This can actually work imo

yeah mate

nice one, thanks for that.

Nice idea but I cant see it happening. Would be nice if a big investor got onboard though.....Duke Of Westminster?
