PLEASE only reply to this post if you want to say YES, I simply want a quick and concise straw poll on wether this is worth taking a proper look at. IF a bank account was set up with the specific task of letting graham compete with other clubs for transfers, would you be interesting in contributing to it? Lets say a standing order of a minimum payment of £1 a week, you could donate whatever you wanted(which would not be in the public domain obviously), all those that contribue would obviously be privvy to the balance details of any account,Dalton said yesterday it would be fantastic if it was available.This funding would be for players only, no ifs or buts,players and players alone. I know some may hark back to the £1 a week ground development scheme from the early 90's, but this is somthing far more positive,if we could get the numbers,so anyone intersted please post below.

im up for it
-
I'd do a pound a week - no probs.
-
Ill do it and i no 3 more people who im sure will be too
-
yep. count me in. I think if the majority of us were able to donate £1 a week that would be a big help.
-
I'd definately be up for putting in a quid a week.
-
i'm in but dont want to do direct debit etc just cash now and then
and you can raffle a weekend at chez moi 3/4 times ayear
if you sign leo skeete i'm out
-
And theres the problem if you sign so and so then i'm out.If people do this then it has to be left to the manager who he gets in etc.I will say a tentative yes for now,but then we still have the problem of the players wages.
-
Sounds good to me. Could also be used in terms of offering the odd contract here or there (eg would have been good to lock Lewis up on a deal in hindsight and I think Mr Logan would be of benefit also).
More than happy to donate but would it just be for transfers or also to increase wages and/or give contracts out to certain players?
-
I have received about 3 emails so far making offers of contributions. If you haven't already done so, send me an email with how much you'd be prepared to contribute and how often.

Latest update:
Including one email which I received this morning I have actually now received a total of 5 responses on this subject. When added together, their total donation (per month) is £47. This isn't bad considering I've only heard off 5 people up to now, so many thanks to those people and if any more people are keen on this idea please get in touch asap.
Cheers.

Interesting! Shows how hard it is for the club tho, I reckon a decent striker would be £1200 a month!
-
I'm no expert on these things by any means, but I think £1200 is a bit of a high estimate. £600+ I would think.
-
If you work on the basis that a good striker gets paid £200 a week (minimum) that puts our minimum target at £800 a month. What I would like to know is what sort of money (if any) the club can currently afford for a loan player without special donations. That would then give us a clearer picture of what the fans would need to raise. Without asking for specific figures I have sent an email to Grahame Rowley asking for a rough idea.
-
I think it was in a interview with SAM that GH had revealed he'd tried to bring a loan striker but couldn't afford the wages. This would indicate that he got some money available (how much wasn't disclosed obviously). So, if whatever amount we can contribute, added to what small amount GH may have, might get us that player?
-
Posting this from the club.
Just spoke to GH on how much for a decent striker on loan he said it would be min £600 a week due to the player probably being full time and from a league club.
-
That's a hullovalot of money. I'm suprised that we wouldn't be able to negotiate paying only part of the wages; We're offering to give the player experience, it's better than that player sitting on the bench for their club. Alas, GH knows more than me so i'll keep shtum.
Football manager is so much easier than real life... :D
-
So with our current offers of donations we are only £2353 a month short of the required amount then!
::)

Quality. Why don't we install a manager at chelsea. Then they buy an alty player for 10 million. as soon as the funds are cleared to alty, they retire. Cant believe we never thought of this!
I pledge 10 Euro's a month.

Minus the amount that GH initially had at his disposal when he was investigating a loan deal though, don't forget.
We're almost there.....bring on Matt McNeil from Stockport....!

Defo worth thinking about!
