How was John wrong? what was out of context?</p> <font color="#ff0000">John: </font><font color="#000000">(According to Mr Shepherd ) Fans putting £100(each) into the club would be, in his own words, "a complete waste of time" </font></p> <font color="#0000ff">Shepherd: </font><font color="#000000">If you are talking about a few fans putting in the odd £100 or so then it would be a complete waste of time</font></p> ....</p> </p> <font color="#ff0000">John: <font color="#000000">If we could come up with £1m as a fan-base, he'd be happy to speak to us about investing in the club. </font></font></p> <font color="#0000ff">Shepherd: </font><font color="#000000"> if you were considering substantial collective investments of say £1,000,000 plus then I am sure that we would be happy to speak with you about it</font></p> </p> For us thick numpties how was john out of context? What i do see is a chairman getting very defensive again and someone turning down investment from the fans.</p> Like i have said before gordon, you should be trying to raise ANY investment and any amount of money helps. Like tesco say, 'every little helps'</p> A pissed off ST</p>
It seems a fairly normal statement to me. A few thousand pounds would make barely any difference to the club whereas and injection of serious funds could completely transform the club to help us achieve what we all want. That is promotion to the next division. I personally think that in the same situation I would have offered a similar response.
