Crowd funding a football club? Novel.

This has tears written all over it if you ask me.

Not according to the above link. The Football League rejected their proposal, as it wasn't thought to be viable.

From the BBC article:

"The situation is that the crowd-funder didn't succeed and we are very sorry about that but the real problem is with the Football League.

"They have made it so difficult now that unless you have a bag full of cash you are going to get turned down."

If even I could see this was doomed and would never work, and largely I'm a complete and utter berk, then clearly these two individuals shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects let alone a football club.

Donny have just had a lucky escape.
