The fact that they cannot be removed from office no matter what they do is the main problem imho, if they were answerable to theshare holders they've been long gone - that coupled with the arrogance that we don't need halp/input when they obviously do is significant.

Whilst I agree that the personnel running the club is a big issue, I also feel our model of fan ownership is also a big problem.

How many other successful 'fan owned' clubs still follow a Supports Direct path, now a long defunct organisation?

I asked them (now merged with FSA) back in January. The response was that they were collating the data and would get back to me shortly. No response so far.

Another ‘consortium bid’ bollocks rumour to get everyone’s hopes up.

Wouldn't have thought there was much to collate?

The lot in charge wouldn’t allow a take over, we'll be long gone before any of them would change their minds

Good to see some real names but little evidence
of actual details . Ok the value of the club is probably
low and may well suit a vanity bid.
BUT the big issue is experience of running a business,
and real working capital. My best guess it will need
At least 2 million in the first year , maybe 5 m
over the first three years. That's why financial
considerations are crucial as it will otherwise
only attract the worst of bids. In this age of ec6
Insecurity are sensible bidders really around. If
not then personally we need to improve what we have .

There will be no bids if there are empty stadiums for the foreseeable future can't see investors paying for just a football team without crowds to generate income.
