Would make more sense if they had some kind of scheme, similar to yours.

To just call a meeting though and say, "look lads, we could sign a half decent player, we can't afford him though so can you buy him instead?" is a bit weird.

It is strange but you'd hope it might become more of an organised scheme in future. Having said that, it's probably not much different to the discussions that every club has with it's sponsors "we've got x player lined up but we're x amount short on his contract - fancy chipping in?"

Suppose!

Buy him or pay for his salary ?

Just asking, like.

Either way...

Doncaster as a club are in the black & being run on a tight budget. An opportunity has arisen I assume at short notice . The club has asked for help, we need to get out of this league this season . Simples !

We willnt break the bank again. I hope !

Are they ?

So we are told . Paying our way .

I'd have a look at the accounts if I knew the official name of the company.

The index is strewn with failed Doncaster clubs .............

Yes, donot we the fans know it.

Just be grateful you have a good management team .

The name I've had mentioned to me this morning is very interesting, would be one hell of a coup!

Source isn't great though.

Grant Edwards?

red or brown?

HP

Henry Paul?

Grant Edwards and Henry Paul, trying to figure out which one is further away from the name I've heard!

They're both miles off though, I will reveal after this all singing, all dancing meeting, and yes it would be easy of me to say "yeah, that's him" but you'll just have to trust me!

Basically a mate of mine's Mum knows this player's wife.

Personally I could never see him dropping to C1 level.
