Share Issuing?
If by September 1st of 2009, any of the original 1000 shares are available for purchase; existing owners will then be allowed to buy more shares, again to the limit of 5 per owner and again on a first come first served basis. Application for shares will be by electronic mail and fully auditable. This allows owners who would like to invest more, to spread their investment over the course of the year and it can also generate income throughout the year for the club.
At the end of the First year owners can vote on whether another 1000 shares should be issued.
Enough of Business! Who Picks the Team?
SAFC already has a Team Manager appointed. He will pick the team. Owners will however get a very high level of interaction and involvement with Steve Foster who commits to Manager Briefings comprising;-
Match Reports
Upcoming game Opposition Briefing
Player Training & Fitness Reports
Weekly Diary & Blog
In addition, we all know that Owners want their say in who is in the squad. Non League football moves very fast in reality, unguarded rumours can ruin a proposed transfer into the team. The Team Manager will be responsible for recruiting new players within his budget, however, Owners will be informed of what are known as 7 day transfer requests on any SAFC player approached by another team and have input into whether to attempt to retain that player, or not. Also owners will be informed when SAFC put in a 7 day request to another club in an attempt to sign that player
SAFCs Playing Budget is set at a minimum and funded through the traditional income streams set by the Board. Club Website Membership Owners will decide themselves whether to increase that Playing Budget through discussions and reviewing the clubs budget and financial forecast.
