Mr. Khan is in a way opening doors to the future, he’s asking the various supporter groups to pull together and build on the offer of shares, if we get on with fund raising/sponsorship and build a strong financial foundation you can by more shares as they become available, more might be gifted others will have to be financed but either way you become a more credible organisation to possible donators or sponsors…it’s long term stuff but what a fantastic opportunity to achieve that ultimate goal….Trust Status and your own bloody football club….Yes I know Mr. O’Neil owns the lions share but with financial strength you can go on to buy a Directorship via investment; but the most important point for me is it give us credibility and that as a gift could be priceless.
