There's always this to bear in mind as well:
www.communityshares.org.uk/
FC United have raised £1.5 million towards the building of a new ground through a Community Shares Scheme. Whether or not something similar could be done through Salford's fan base is another matter... |

GT - an interesting approach, must be worth pursuing
Interesting bit from their feasibility factsheet
There are four key components to all successful community investment initiatives:
• A project team with the track record and competencies to lead the community investment process through to fruition
• Social objectives capable of winning the interest, enthusiasm, and financial support of a target community
• A viable business model capable of generating sufficient profit to pay a return on the community investment
• A capital finance plan that is affordable, balanced, realistic and achievable.
All of which I think have been sadly lacking over the last few years - in particular the "viable business model"!!! |

There is an article elsewhere today saying that Brian Noble fears if he doesn't find an opening in the sport within the next 12 months he'll not get another chance. To me he is rugby league through and through and someone the club/new investors could do worse than looking at for a position. He is not only held in the highest regard over here but also in Australia and could potentially help improve the clubs profile both here and abroad.
I don't know which position as PV is doing a fine job for now as head coach but maybe something along the lines of what SS does but making use of his greater knowledge and profile.

Subscription payments could also be setup with Paypal and [url=https://gocardless.comGo Cardless[/url is a newer service to take online payments via direct debit for companies without a merchant account. |

I'd buy as many shares as poossible, which, admittedly isn't many on my wage but I'd give what I could. Obviously, like most on here it would be on the premise that the club structura and personnel was completely overhauled. I'd also be willing to offer my services free of charge to help out at the club for a few hours a week. I've got an administrative/managerial background and I reckon I could do more in 5/6 hours than some of the current staff manage in a full working week.
I know Forever Reds is the obvious platform to debate any potential share/fan ownership schemes but if anyone fancied setting up an informal discussion over a few pints I'd be up for it.

I'd buy shares but in return there would have to be significant change first.

Absolutely would, if they were on offer. Wouldn't see it as an investment, just a bit of a novelty to own a very small bit of the club. TBH though, all shares would generate is a one off cash injection, which would only be a temporary fix. What Salford needs is sustainable income, a shareholding trust putting money in through a DD would be a better idea, with a presence on the board to represent the trust/fans. Self sustainability is a problem across the whole sport though, how many clubs are reliant on wealthy owners
