Red DNA Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 For the ‘majority’ of fans who have been ranting on here for the last few weeks and obviously think they could run it better, I’m interested to know how much you are prepared to chip in to buy a share? I’m even more interested why most of you don’t even bother to contribute to the running of this - normally - excellent forum which allows you to vent your anger? The least you all should do to show how passionate you are about ‘your’ club, without giving a few more pennies towards our financially astute major shareholder, is to cough up now to help fund the running of this forum.

Bat Fastard Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 You underestimate the financial genius and insight of the Forum mob. Such sums are nothing to people like these and they will not bother with existing staff but do every task themselves on a rota. The club will be rich and in the Premier League almost instantly and then you will all realise that we never really needed the help of a Billionaire. Come on guys - show them how it is done. Don't be afraid of losses, you can simply ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalRed Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Lets put it this way, if the fans could buy part of the club and would have a collective vote in the new manager would we have gone for the cheap option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would approximately be the price if 100,000 people shipped in? Ashton out. Most of Lansdowns money is wasted anyway. Infrastructure minus the cost of Ashtons shortcomings.

People seem to think that Steve is some poor bloke who put £100m on Red and it came up Black...........and keeps coming back for more. He has enough real estate interest in his investment to not be overly concerned about the amounts he is investing...............and nobody begrudges him that because he's the guy who has put his money where his mouth is. But anybody thinking there would be no club without Steve has got that wrong in my view...........................it might not be the same club we have now (the one that takes five weeks to appoint the cone putter outer as manager!!) but there would be a club all the same.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 There absolutely would be a club but if SL suddenly, as in today, tomorrow- whenever- decided he would no longer fund the club, and I mean no more funding- zero- how long would it be until we fell into administration? Genuine question. Not a pro or anti SL post, but simply an attempt to objectively assess how reliant we are on him- not just for signings but solvency! It's a position we are in that he has helped to steer us to, although in fairness that is probably the same for all or close to all Championship clubs btw.
