Common's Sense ????????
at 13:21 15 Feb 2011

Told myself I was not going to post anymore, but got to get this off my chest.

---------------------------

Now I am no business man, but from what I have seen of the so called experts, GSE and Mr Gadsby, that’s probably a good starting point.

I have a question, proposal, call it what you like, for any of you more business savvy fans out there.

As a short-term measure to provide capital for player purchase would it be feasible/legal for a potential investor to provide an amount of capital on a short/medium term basis say (2 years). With a guaranteed return on that investment, say just above what you would reasonably get from financial institution.

A condition of this investment is that it is spent solely on playing staff.

What would this type of investment get in return for the investing party (apart from the financial return), would this be a non-executive place on the board?

It seems to me that the GSE outfit have the best interests of the “DCFC Business” at heart, but have absolutely no comprehension of the emotional investment of the fans, and also what the consequences of relegation would have both on season ticket revenue and the permanent loss of any current and future young fans.

Their approach seems to be that they are taking a gamble on us staying in the Championship with minimal investment in the squad. I do not think they have enough of an idea of the impact on the club that relegation in to League One will have.

If this type of venture was possible, how much in terms of financial investment do you think it would require to make it a viable option for the long term benefit of the club, and also who would be willing to make this type of investment?

I realise that we have now no opportunity to add permanent signings this season, but should we avoid relegation, there has to be significant investment during the summer to avoid us starting off nest season in exactly the same position with a sub-standard playing squad.

There seems an obvious solution to me that is for both GSE and Mr Gadsby to see sense and frankly grow up and stop acting like spoilt brats. Please put aside your differences and try to come to an agreed solution that would be in the interests of the club and its long-suffering supporters.

The welfare and continued success of our club deserves better financial management than it has had for the most recent few years.

If neither of the two parties’ can be made to see sense then is it not time for them both to do the honourable thing, move aside and let someone else have a go.
