Worth pointing out that a bond is an investment – anyone who takes up the offer is investing their money and expecting a return on the investment. I know in the case of AFC Wimbledon they asked people to select a 0% interest rate if they could, helping the club to raise capital, but they were offering returns of something like 7-8% depending on the number of years the money was invested for.
So it’s not necessarily free money for football clubs but it is a potentially useful way to raise capital at better terms than would be offered by a bank.
