My "eureka moment" to turn the club around!

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

Just had an amazing idea in the shower.

OK right, we're skint. Our team is rubbish.

Solution:

1. Sell or release every player in the squad
2. Start a new players lottery for fans.
3. Charge fans £20 a year to enter this lottery.
4. Every year hold the "new players lottery", 20 players get drawn out and get to play for the team.
5. For the privilege of playing, charge them £50 per game.

In a stroke, the following things are achieved:

1. Our first team wage is ZERO, confortably under the leagues new 60% whatsadooberry
2. We never have to buy players ever again!
3. We never have to sell players ever again!
4. We earn oodles of cash to build lots of hotels, casinos, whatever tickles our fancy
5. We would probably have enough cash left over to buy some more obscure football teams
6. We'd be the most famous club in the world, for such an incredibly bonkers idea!
7. The fans really are the club.

Everyones a winner.

A problem with number 1: Many of our over 30 (past it) players are on three year contracts. Nobody want these players (hence why they are playing for us) and so can not be sold on. Therefore to release them would require us paying the rest of their three year contracts which would cost us an arm and a leg, which we don't have.

Therefore your idea would never take off as the likes of Doyle, Collins, Hill, and Cresswell wouldn't leave without being paid off, and as we can't afford to release them.

Good idea but

You're right, that is the main reason this plan won't happen.

I have another problem, alot of our fans won't pay over £10 anymore! Starting to wonder if my season ticket is worth it considering all the fans/family days
