Wouldn’t they have to put a £1000 in?

did we have anyone prepared to raise a tenth of that? no.

should we be trying to raise it? no.

who has all the power as consumers? us.

can we reduce the value of the club to what we are prepared to pay? yes.

if the right approach had been taken from the beginning, we'd have ten years of harmonious glory under our belts instead of watching the predictable death by a thousand cuts.

Remember the Phoenix fund

The pre match boycotts

The half time away pie and pint boycott

Biggest club in the world, couldn't organise a piss up in Berlin ...

That Fulham game was the moment I knew we stood no chance. Anyone mentioning boycotts etc now can £#%&! right off imo.

Absolutely no chance. I knew it was over when I was shouting a people in the pub before the match to join one of the early protest marches. Loads of day trippers looking at me blankly/being told to do one

It was over for me before it had even started.

Then we had lads who went to 1 match a season telling lifelong st holders to give up a massive part of their lives. And the evangelical fc founders. Jeez

What a mess!

Have any fan owned clubs (above a certain level, anyway) actually worked?

Are they actually genuinely "fan owned" though, seriously

For example I thought Uli Hoeness basically decided everything at Bayern for yonks
