You’d imagine when he says investment he means more than the price of a couple of season tickets... 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

I'm sure a couple of other directors have very little shareholdings. £500 isn't what I call investing in the club but I'm sure when the question gets asked, he will have an answer. Wonder if he's contributed to the playing budget or back office things...

He’d surely have to just out cash in to the club in some way, and that sum would surely show up on the accounts or at least be identified somewhere...

He made a big enough commitment in taking the job and moving to the area without the need to make something like that up, shirley? A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

(Ie it will show on next year’s accounts) Just a thought. Panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, Humberside

Firstly it would be quite cheeky to hold him to it when he's taken a 25% pay cut and was placed on furlough at an even lower amount for around 4 months. And then there's the fact that without a bailout the club will go out of business within 4-6 months, so investing a significant amount in a business facing oblivion would be daft. Also, Ian & his wife still haven't sold their house near Bath have they? Ian & Kim are very wealthy but that doesn't mean they have £100,000 readily available in cash. I'm sure when the time is right IH will keep his word.
