Re: Let's Buy Swagger Appeal

I don't know Gerard personally, so I hope this doesn't sound like I'm 
questioning his integrity - because I'm surely not ...  I'm unable to 
assess either way ...

But - if a group of people handed a guy a sizable chunk of cash - and 
maybe it ends up being £600 and not the full £1000 - if it's not enough to 
buy Swagger outright & he doesn't have the remainder at his disposal right 
then ... might it go towards paying the light bill with the intention that 
the fund would be repaid eventually?  .. In other words .. say you want to 
buy a new TV set - and your grandma gives you 40 bucks towards it .. well 
that's not gonna get it - and right now, buying groceries is more 
essential & it will be awhile before you can get the rest of what you need 
to buy the TV anyway - so eventually, you WILL get the TV, but you have to 
start saving all over again... so did grandma actually help?  

Now I'm completely in favor of all this by the way .. just wondering if 
there's any thoughts on how the fund would be handled... 

And what happens if the original offer to sell the rights is rescinded?

Again - not trying to be negative or accusatory - just trying to work out 
logistics beforehand...
