I think the original aim was clearly a public appeal to save the club; then and only if that appeal fell short would the club itself input; this would be in the from of making up the difference prior to payment, not necessarily contribution/donation to the SOS appeal. This could well be the reason you don’t see donations in to the SOS Fund directly across the board from Directors/Chairs has they will have anticipated having to top up the fund before the final outcome was resolved.
