Getting ahead of myself but let's say we beat Chesterfield, draw a team lower Premier League team away, end up on TV and progress to the 4th round away to one of the big guns.

We could easily walk away with £2m.

You can only do one thing with the £2m, what would you do?

I would invest in the playing budget, signing a few promising players from below with the aim of turning a profit to pay the loan off in a couple of years.

Go sit on the beach in the Cayman Islands and get steadily sozzled every day. Sod the toilets in the Findus, they are beyond repair.....

Booze, coke and cheap hookers.

I assumed it was a rhetorical question. Pay what’s needed to get rid of the noose around the neck that is JSF and start again with a financial clean slate.

I think the beating a premiership team bit is not going to happen. We need a big prem team away in the 3rd round (if we get past the 2nd round that is)

Simples.

And in doing so make the club more attractive to a potential new owner.

Supposedly that will pay back his benign loans, but he’ll still be the largest shareholder unless someone can afford to buy them off him as well.

Offer a million as a take it or leave it.

The 2 million would be in his control so he could do what he wants (as per). In an ideal world, he'd take a cut, sell his shares and leave the change.

Have to go a couple of rounds more than the 4th round to make over £2 million. Away at a top Prem team helps we got 50% of the gate at the timer due to being non league, think league clubs get 45% of the gate.

Though many including myself would love to see the back of him and his cronies if we did hit a £2 million jackpot I’d doubt he’d take all of that and disappear, sadly.

We’ve got to beat Chesterfield first and Town being Town......

We will never get £2m but if we did I'd be happy for him to take half of it to take a massive chunk of what we owe him off and use the other £1m towards improving facilities and playing staff.

Absolutely insane that fans are discussing whether we’d be better off taking money out of the playing budget, or profit that could go to improving what we get out of watching the club personally, to pay off the debts caused by Fenty’s own individual mismanagement.
