After the announcement from Dover Athletic chairman Jim Parmenter - the club is on the brink of insolvency. The chairman has made in clear that he needs support to keep this club in business and playing football. Director of football has been set up to recruit a large number of football supporters to become apart of the club and take a seat in the directors box, offering many perks and opportunities to win prizes and packages if we are successful.
We have set out a clear target to reach in order for this to be successful and enable us to then reach out to the club and put forward our proposal. The success of this project will be determined by the number of members.
The Board have been busy assessing the clubs financial position and immediate future due to the very difficult circumstances of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The club is still unsure of its income in the coming season but the Board are clear income will greatly reduced.
The club has 14 players under contract for next season and at a meeting last week the clubs position was explained in detail to the players and staff.
At that meeting the players and staff were asked to accept a 20% short-term reduction in salary to assist the club in its efforts to stay solvent and keep the club alive bearing in mind the club will move from four to three days training.
The management have accepted the proposal, however, unfortunately the players have not agreed.
Therefore it is with great regret that I must announce that all of the squad are now available for free transfer as an initial immediate step.
I must further inform supporters that if a solution or further investment cannot be found by the end of August it is likely that the Directors will consider the club insolvent and as a consequence will be forced to cease trading.
The directors are doing everything they can to keep the club afloat, but have reached an impasse and require the support of our playing squad.
Can memberships be cancelled any time?
Yes, this can be done with one months membership remaining.
How secure is PayPal Subscriptions? and what if i don't use PayPal?
PayPal is one of the secure payment portals to date. You can use any card to signup and to join is free, quick, easy.
Are fee's refunded if the subscription target is not met?
Yes, we hold subscriptions in the 'director of football' account and until the target is met, nothing will be processed further. If the target is not possible then all fee's are fully refunded.
What if the club rejects the proposal?
'director of football' may decided to look for an alternative club depending on it's members vote, however we are positive this can be achieved.
Can I purchase more then one membership?
Yes, for family or friends you can however remember you will need to use your own debit card and be liable for the ongoing payments.
Can I invest more then just the £10 subscription?
Yes, you can purchase a higher subscription. Each £10 is one vote, entry into prize draws etc. So £50 per month would be five votes & entries.
Please note this website has only recently launched and we are working hard to open up more sections as soon as possible.
