Another good listen, I do like a Matt Dean rant.
I think what you end up using the money you raise for isn't (yet) the big issue here. The more immediate one is of how you acquire some leverage.
I endorse all that was said about Salford City - a latter day Fleetwood Town, really. And they(Fleetwood) are now on the long, slow road back to where they came from. Crowds dwindling, chairman in grave danger of going to jail, over £20m in debt (most of which is owed to said owner) and losing money at the rate of around £55k per week.
I agree your best target is Barrow. Especially now they have made such a disastrous managerial appointment. Panic, pure and simple.
