#WengerOut Fundraising Campaign

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Matt...you have nothing to prove to anyone..you paid for it..end of. Just hang onto the receipt.

The money from the crowdfunding only gets released about a week after we shut it down.We'll keep the receipts as proof but nobody has the right to question us. If anybody wants to be getting nosy they can stump up the cash themselves. Every penny raised will go toward getting him out. The price of the mobile billboard is posted on here for everybody to see anyway. You've paid £750 and I'm gonna stump up around £1200, I don't think a lot of our fellow Gooners on here are going to be questioning us.

Read the remarks on the donation page, people are just so happy something is finally happening. Guys have been waiting years for this.....and not just here in the UK either. Onward & upward, lets kick his A$$ out!!
HEAR,HEAR!
You don't have anything to prove to anyone Matt,well done for picking up the Baton and running with it. :barscarf:

I agree with you. I wasn't asking to prove anything and I don't need to see receipts. I have 100% faith in everyone involved and it's noble of Matt to pay it out of his pocket and claim it back later. I'm just reminding people that we need good record keeping just in case the media or the club stick their noses in. The plane for one is going to be huge and a few media outlets have already picked up on how we are funding it.

Well done to Chris and Matt. Thank you to all of those who have been donating and will donate.

Almost £2K raised now in three days. Magnificent. I imagine any small remainder of the money could be donated to the Arsenal Foundation or some other worthy cause. Still, there's more weeks of work to do first :barscarf:

Is it possible to put "Wenger" underneath - otherwise it might be construed that it is referring to (The) Arsenal as asrehole. :?
Still working on different styles and wordings.

Ideas gratefully received
