fans in buy out sensation!!

[Red_Polo]

However unrealistic this may seem to some at first glance, surely we can all acknowledge it's something worth really exploring? If it did come off, it would be phenomenal for the club.

I don't think a fans buy out will ever happen in the foreseeable future, but I am wiling to buy a share.

[wavydavy]

Also Barca have a 100000 capacity, Real are backed by the King, all this would lead to is us having even less money. The principle is very romantic by also unrealistic unless we want to be a mid table side

Mid table under fan ownership will do me just fine at the moment!

[1 True Red]

if I do it, it will be £5k on my own.

Same here

and how would we attract top players if we are a mid table club?

That's the least of our worries at the moment IMHO.

For anyone interested, Rogan Taylor and 'advisors' will be on Radio Merseyside at about 7pm tonight, apparently. It'd be interesting to hear an update on how much interest they have generated...

[Iceman]

FYI It was Just Rogan Taylor on his own, he was on from 8 pm until 9 and fielded questions from Alan Jackson and some phone questions ( they didnt do a phone in due to time constraints)

He has certainly done his homework, I was very pleased with his explanation of how the club would be debt free

HE also hinted that he is working with several people with "connections" to liverpool, behind the scenes, and then quickly added "ex players and the like"

MY guess would be Moores and/or King Kenny

His Figures certainly seem to add up.................. but as ever the biggest problem is the 500 million quid

[kopdan]

lets say a businessman or business wanted to put in more than 5k, lets say £200m

Could that happen?

[Iceman]

Apparently not, its 1 share per person each person has a vote the shares are non transferable without permission fron some board that will be set up to ensure 1 share per person ( the constitution has still to be written)

People or groups with money would stand for election as president/chairman and use their money to fund transfers etc, by way of interest free loans........... repayable over a timescale the club could afford from its income


these same groups could also back a candidate in the elections which would be held every 4 years

apparently the benefits to business to be associated with a top brand like LFC far outweigh the costs

Only if he set up 400 LFC websites

[Iceman]

it did say that there would be safeguards in place to prevent multiple share ownership............. I cant see it working at the lower level, say fan + wife + 3 kids but it would certainly prevent someone effectively getting control of the club by throwing in 200 million

[Johnny]

It`s Ok the fans buying the Club.What happens when we need another 20mil striker.Another whip round??.Some supporters owning the club while others own players?If a players worth tripled after he was bought would his multiple owners vote to cash in?I`m all on for supporters buying the club but how cans of worms would it open?

[rage]

did he say how much interest was shown so far? 100, 1,000, 10,000?

[JCase]

You have more chance of Everton winning the Champions Lg

That's going too far Nicey
