So if we use there figures for our purpose where would the SBT get the 2.5m deficit from to cover this if they were to take over the club from SISU?
JSB the SBT haven't even considered this! All they say is that they want funds available if it all goes south. There;s NO plan, no funds (site reports a fighting fund of just over £1.2k). Considering they claim 700 members that means they have raised a staggering £1.50ish per member!
There entire plan relies on being able to find a rich investor - which sort of contradicts their statement that it is a last ditched plan, as last ditch kind of implies there are no rich investors interested!
No plan for playing wages, or buying players, or anything about the ricoh.
Basically its a vehicle for that guy Jan to claim he is the voice of the fans. This itself is ridiculous as he couldn't arrange a successful boycott when SiSU were tearing up banners!
Its galling that this guy has become the go-to guy for CWR and Telegraph for a "fans" comment.
I don't think the members who have joined realise how much this group are expecting them to commit to financially - I suspect THey just join as a fan club.
To put it in context - just to pay 10% of the debt (ignoring all other costs), they are going to have to get just under 10k per member!
Even at 2.5 million (which is the cost of the ground) that is 3.5k per member.
It is absolutely a non starter.
But not only this JSB, but if you dare to highlight the flaws in the plan (and these are just for starters!), some even threaten physical violence!
They are totally deluded. Pompey's situation when you look at it is completely different.
Pompey own the stadium - pompey's plan relies 100% on selling the ground (the funds "raised" are from developers who will knock down the ground - which is illegal as it is a listed building!)
The fans themselves have raised virtually NOTHING!
The SBT is a total waste of time money and resources - its basically a giant ego boost for this Jan guy.
Indeed they are so well organised that even though they have been operating for what 6 months and they have trouble deciding what to put on the website!
there plan relies on things that just will not happen. As Alan Partridge would say they are moribund.!
A bunch of self elected fame seekers. Sounds good on paper, but utterly futile
