Mr Logic Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20080716/tod-fbl-fra-eng-pr-marseille-chelsea-dro-7f81b96.html Check out the link then consider wether it would work here. Could we raise a few million to give to Ashley (Keegan) or would we keep our hands in our pockets? Not that there's anyone I can think of we'd particularly want to bring back from our recent history, there might be one day; or maybe we can just create a fans transfer fund.

Guest shearer_united Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That is a very bad idea. Its wrong for a club to rely on its fans to raise money to buy players - sh*t idea and would not work. If I had to throw in 10 quid, it would have been for charity. Besides, its not like a club really needs it. The amount of fans needed to raise the total cash collected into something decent and useful would be immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 how many fans we got worldwide...200k+ ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 How about the club continue to put up the money for the transfer fee/wages and the fans pay for some independent professionals to deal with the agents and contract negotiations? Given our record so far this summer that would seem like a better way to spend the fans money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've just donated £500 to the transfer kitty, Ashley can use that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 We may have to do it ourselves, I propose Wullie and Dave to do the negotiations with Parky as office chick. Pass the hat round lads, be generous players do not come cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
