Admin   Supporters Direct   Sub-Forum: Ways to know your club is up the financial creek before it enters administration In this session Dr John Beech, one of the foremost experts on football club finances and what causes crises, walks us through the finances of a couple of well-known recent financial ‘basket cases', and shows you how to spot the signs in time to do something other than panic! 0 Never supportersdirect Sub-Forum: Community Shares Community Shares are a unique method for supporters' trusts to raise investment money, whilst still retaining the one member one vote principle. A Government-sponsored pilot is promoting the method amongst a variety of social businesses, including FC United of Manchester. Jim Brown, the lead consultant to this scheme, will provide an introduction to the topic, covering how and when it could be useful to a supporters' trust. Andy Walsh, General Manager at FC United of Manchester, will also give a short presentation of their Community Share Issue. For more on this new scheme, visit the Community Shares website http://www.communityshares.org.uk/ 0 Never supportersdirect Sub-Forum: Trust Showcase 2 (not working in partnership with your club) With so much going on at a local level it is often difficult to fully appreciate the work of other trusts, see the successes they have had and how they've achieved them. These two sessions will give you an opportunity to hear from supporters' trusts that have had a particularly busy year for different reasons - be it running campaigns, scrutinising their clubs, engaging and growing their membership or building partnerships and influence - there should be something for everyone. We know that the relationship that a trust has with the club they support can have a big bearing on the type of work that goes on, so in the first session we will hear from trusts that have a good partnership with their club, whereas in the second session we will hear from trusts that either have no working relationship or a begrudging one at best. As well as short presentations from each trust there will an opportunity to quiz the presenters and share best practice from around the movement. 0 Never supportersdirect Supporters Direct :: Annual Conference 2010 :: Sunday Workshops # 2 Post permission: Anyone, including unregistered users, may post.
