Yes and they involve NOT spending £8000 and working else where until things settle down. Only someone panicing and rushing or someone with an unhealthy disrespect for money and risk would sign up. Hold tight and get your timing right. This is not the way. The way people will spend £8000 to knowingly 'sit in a pool' is unbelievable. If you wont wait to see the state of this company in about 9-10 months time you are taking an enormous risk. It may pay off, it almost certainly will not. You'd be better off putting the £8000 on a horse and paying off your course. Seriously.
