2012/13 ticket price freeze and 2013/14 rise

Fan ownership would of course be fantastic. But I guess that ship realistically sailed at least 30 years ago.

Knowing us, we'd be plagued by political bickering and infighting too.

I could think of a few fans I wouldn't want on the Board or be owners

I'm sure that you're delighted with how that turned out in the general election. It was the best outcome to take the country forward...

That's not the point

What is as the old saying goes is "I might not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

That's how democracy works !

All good points regarding distribution , wage caps etc .

I keep going back to Germany . There's got to be a blueprint there .
Also that monstrous TV deal that's on its way . All this could supplement Ticket prices .

It's all linked. And you need to understand that and how it all hangs together. Otherwise you're just shouting into a vacuum.

Any ideas on your blueprint yet? Or I guess that should be redprint.

We are currently working alongside the DCMS Committee , Supporters Direct , Football Supporters Federation , other affiliated Fans groups and the Premier League . The next step is getting the Club Chairmen into that equation .

We are just a cog in that machine that is pushing for change

So no then.

BTW merlboo, what are your / SOS's (they appear to be one and the same) views on the stadium expansion project? I've not seen you participate in the stadium thread which has seen a lively debate incorporating several viewpoints.

In fact I don't recall SOS being particularly vocal on this issue at all. Does that mean that you're happy with progress under the new regime?

I didn't want Cameron to be PM but he still is even without a required majority. Kind of proves my point. Like I said, there are many fans where I'd shudder at the thought of them being part owners or being on the Board.

All we need now is Rogan Taylor to be made Chief Exec with Steve Morgan buying out FSG. All will be brilliant

[shanks69]

I dont know about that. But are German clubs 51% fan owned too?

Edit: From Wikipedia

yep thats right, thats why i would say its the best league at the moment and the best run i think they have stronger rules on how things are run which come from the very top.

Sos have apparently got a meeting with Ian according to Echo

Capitalism v Socialism

Greed v Good

Thats the way I look at it

What I can't understand is why do self-proclaimed socialists spend so much time and energy on what is essentially a bunch of highly-paid fellas booting a ball of air about for 90 minutes; haven't you got more weighty matters that you can spend your time (and money) on? And it's not just the premiership era in which the players earn way more than the average national average, it's been going on for yonks. Why not follow Sunday League football and get all your 'community benefit' from that?
