Eatonram Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We need a figurehead possibly an ex player like Linacre did when fester went into admin. Derby and it’s supporters will have made about 50 ex players millionaires over the last 20 years surely one of those might be sufficiently interested to lead on raising cash to get us through the next few months. Even Wayne could offer to lead it or perhaps Bryson who has a strong connection. Just someone to care enough to galvanise supported in raising cash TheresOnlyWanChope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Bog roll botherer Franny Lee must have a few contacts. Probably not chairman, he didn't do a good job at Man City but playing for Derby did get him the accolade of being involved in sports most spectacular dismissal as voted for in 2007. He owes a proper Man City sheikh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I hope there's a number of former players who still have strong connections to the club or the area and would be prepared to help financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 A consortium of several wealthy Derby fans and local businessmen may seriously help if they are out there and willing, backed by a large fan led group.

Simmo’s left foot Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 10,000 put in £500 then there's £5 million, to form a trust to own a % of the new club. CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seths-cap Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I had an idea, probably not a good one but I was wondering if buying the club a pint might be a way to add a few quid to the pot on match days. Every time you go to the bar, you tell the staff you want to buy one for the club and add the price of a beer which goes into the club pot. Alcohol makes you generous.

Eatonram Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Come on Rams Trust step up with a crowd funding initiative or if not that at least a “pledge” page on a website. Do something that shows action that fans can latch on to. Our biggest potential resource, our supporters, some of whom are wealthy, some not quite so but willing to chip in need a way of helping in a tangible way. I think the gap between money available and what is needed to pay the September wages could have been raised this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gap between money available and what is needed to pay the September wages could have been raised this way. I agree not because I would like to put my hard earned money in well paid players pockets but due to the wider implications of not paying them for the club. It needs somebody more than one supporter to do it because of the no doubt poo they would get and also things like an individual's bank account only has banking protection up to i think £85k. but as someone said but there must be a local body such as Rams Trust that can take forward.

Easier said than done perhaps I think it could but such an initiative needs leader(s) and noone has stepped up yet. Niall Horan would be the obvious well known fan without baggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
