Was thinking that if supporters setup a crowd source page and donated say £100. Then this could go a long way in paying a marque players wages. I am studying full time but I would pay that if it meant the likes of Sakho's wage bill was less of an obstacle for him to sign. Maybe club could reward funders with priority tickets for a semi or a final. If I can get 10 people to agree I will setup page and donate the first amount.

I think purchasing a season ticket is crowd funding, maybe that's just me. ......

If you think I'm going to subsidise a company owned by billionaires and multi millionaires, with a turnover in excess of £100m per annum, then you have another think coming my friend.

Thanks for the interesting feedback. I guess from my point of view. We are still a small club. Back in the day I was a lifeline member. Signed up that night at Fairfield Halls. Seems to me despite our high turnover we are still a long way off from having to be ultra careful around FFP. Also with profits so tight how can we get ahead and firmly put those kind of days behind us. Ok crowd sourcing may not be the way but what innovative way can the supporters and club add to the clubs bottom line. Sure billionaires etc can dig dip but at what cost in the long term to the culture of the club?

It's problems like that that Parish pays himself £650K a year to resolve.

Not as stupid as some of you think, although the sums involved in player transfers and wages are large in comparison. This kind of arrangement is basically a debenture. Quite common in the arts and in other sports where you pay money and obtain some kind of priviledges in return but with the philosophy that your interest is in supporting the organisation and achieving its aims more than in getting a quid pro quo. A debenture is different from a season ticket in that a season ticket is simply a contract for services (you get to watch the matches), whereas a debenture is transferable as of right (so may be sold at whatever price the market commands), and is more like a debt bond in that the sum invested is considered to be repayable, either as money or in the form of goods and services. Debentures also typically have much longer terms than a single season. Arsenal apparently operate a debentures scheme which gives its holders access to season tickets, supporters' club membership or something and the right to redeem the bond for a specified sum at a specified future date. But if £1000 were invested by 1000 fans that would still only be £1m. It wouldn't get you out of FFP (I don't think) because the money isn't revenue. Edited by chateauferret (06 Jun 2017 11.26pm)

Is this a wind up? If true I hope nobody in management at the club is reading. Posts such as this only go to reinforce the belief football supporters are the biggest bunch of mugs going. How about this for an alternative? Our current squad and coaches each take a 10% pay cut and that pool of money becomes the fighting fund to attract some big names. Should go down in the dressing room like a bucket of cold sick.

I've seen some suggestions on this page but this has got to be the worst. If you think for one second id consider donating any amount of money to a company that turns over multi million pounds yearly, has multi millionaire owners, so they can pay someone 100k a week to kick a ball of air, usually not very well. No chance, I hope this is a wind up.
