Is it the same source that told you the Kimura sale was done? Not discrediting you, but you’ve had some very incorrect sources in the past.
Don’t mean this to cause offence!

No. A different source and TBF the Kimura boys actually thought a deal had been done, hence "boshgate" only for Ron to change the goalposts and be hiding far more than had been stated.

Yeah it really isn't. I'd love to see your math.

Using the UK averages, 19% have no savings at all, another 14% have less than £1,000 savings, another 27% have less than £5,000 in savings.

That leaves 40% of our fanbase that can afford to chip in plus a few that would skint themselves to do so. That isn't taking into account apathy and frugality causing many that could chip in, not to. And also that many of our fans are from the same households.

So even being optimistic we are looking at circa £600k + to pay football creditors and HMRC or get -10 points?

It must get to the management team that they are doing the business on the field & achieving points whilst Martin is seemingly doing all in his power to undermine this with his shenanigans.
 
Can't help thinking any judge/HMRC investigator will not take kindly to sensing that they have been played by Ron..if that is what is happening? To be told that a sale is underway only to find that the seller was knowingly hiding debt information (if that is what has happened) would quite easily be interpreted by a judge/HMRC as taking the court/HMRC process for a ride. They might not take kindly to that....and rightly so.

We may recall that the NL told us all football creditors had to be paid up to date, and remain paid once the season was underway. So any suggestion football debts aren’t paid up to date is almost certainly wide of the mark. The HMRC debts (which is not a football debt) may well be higher - and other non football debts may have grown (we don’t know for sure but wouldn’t be surprised).

Yeah but it’s not personal like that. Courts are defined by set rules, which contain ambiguity. Ron may skirt round them but it’s not personal and they have to grant leeway. Take all emotion out of it. He’s playing the game within the boundaries of what he is allowed.

You have been banging this drum for a long time now. Other than moan on SZ about listless fans what exactly have you done? Where is your proposal? Where is your business plan? What is your plan to pitch this properly to the fan base?
If you are so certain this is the way forward, if you care for this club then surely your current course of action which seems to be post umpteen messages expecting someone else to pick it up and run with it is at best listless.
Either be proactive or stop moaning.
FWIW I and it seems many others on here do not believe your suggestion is realistic.
