Let's be honest the WST have made a cats arse of the club and the only way to save it now is by fresh outside investment and it can"t happen soon enough.

However I see it continuing under this communist style regime and the club eventually dying with the various factions blaming each other.

Such a shame because the club has fantastic potential

Exact reasons I voted part ownership, but any investor would need majority share, it's either this or be having this conversation again in non league in 12 years.. If the club still exists along with many others.

As I've posted before, whichever ownership model is in place, a club can be well run or badly run.

Yup.

Personally I think there's two ways to look at mixed ownership. One is to look at ways to safeguard anything that bad owners would like to exploit, as you suggested, then sell whatever shareholding. Thus giving a chance to grow, bring in other ideas/experience and work to set short, medium and long-term plans.

The other way as seeing it as 'the great evil'.

All of this.

If we were to start from scratch then I think a hybrid model offers the best of both worlds. Sadly, with the ideologists in charge that will never happen. Shame.

I've voted part ownership but it would need to be that the WST has a minority stake but with safeguarding clauses for if the club was in financial difficulty as it was under Moss.

Nope. Most people know exactly where a poll like this, put on RP by a poster who is violently opposed to fan ownership, will go. It's another pointless poll. You may as well poll Hindus in the Catholic Herald as people with opposing views to those on here will just be insulted or ignored. So they won't bother.

None of what you've said is true.

The poll was done because I knew about some of the contents of the latest update. You've also missed how I cast my vote too...

Or countless times how I've said I'm in favour of co-ownership or with safeguarding clauses.

Almost as pointless as the elections at the AGM, where those voted off boards can the be co-opted back on.
