This might be a madcap idea considering the mentioning of shares being bought, blackmail, seats for life on the board but here goes.

Considering the financial climate and tht of football clubs in the lower leagues then I had this bouncing around in my empty head. ASSF have funds to save the club, but instead of of buying the shares then invest the same way that the dragons do for a cut of any profit. Now concidering what I have said about the finacial state of affairs in the lower leagues then the cut should be put into an emergency fund for the future. This could be if possible outwith the clubs control to avoid it being used elseware. Think of it as banking if you wish with the ASSF members/representative as the bank manager. So if say 2/3 years down the line something goes wrong and not heaven forbid the taxman then the fund can be approached for a financial input for the clubs sake. Ok I am no business law related guy but whay cant it work if a legally binding agreement can be reached. O,neil gets to run it as a business the fans fighting fund aids the club and can be forthcoming with aid in the future.

May not work or be ideal but seems to be in my lowley opinion a far comprimise without any tit for tat aggro. If it is wrong or wouldnt work then fair enough no expert but i hope something along these lines might help both sides without recriminations as both sides want whats best for the club.
