Jimfanciesthedude 24,609 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 the downside(or upside) would be the club has to self sustain itself, with outgoings of no more than 30mil per season for the first 5yrs.are you mental, Lloyds tried that and we had fans protesting against them and talking about closing accounts etc where would you cut 15million from the current club set up? that i am curious about Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz 306 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've pledged, on the condition I see some sort of plan for how this is going to work. Cutting 15 million pounds from our expenditure is one of the bits I'm very keen to look at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissg910 110 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 are you mental, Lloyds tried that and we had fans protesting against them and talking about closing accounts etc where would you cut 15million from the current club set up? that i am curious aboutwage caps on all positions in the club including players.our annual turnover without europe is 35mil. plus my initives will be 45mil.i cant give too much out atm, dnt want p murray or the trust taking the credit.players would have to accept wage cuts or be sold and replaced. you may not like this idea but every penny made from tranfers would be used to buy new players that fit into the wage structure. i believe a team can be assembled for a wage bill of 15mil per season that can challenge for the spl.however within 5yrs we would be alot more stable and re structure certain aspects.

Bad Robot 21,313 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You have to actually click the 'enter amount' option mate. yes at the bottom of the drop down menu, maybe it should have been at the start Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillRFC 0 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just signed up for my dad and I. The website states there is no obligation to actually pay the money you have pledged. It's just to provide an estimate on how many people would invest and what they could afford. Good idea really and glad the supporters groups have "united" for this.

We are just trying to gain a rough idea of how much could potentially be raised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 So what if 500 tarriers from one of their forum's pledge 15k each or a figure around that, it will totally fuck the whole idea up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madina 3,841 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can't open the link as I'm on my phone, do you give the money now or later, and can you pledge any amount or just a minimum of £500? Would feel safer if the club was organising this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
