That fella was spot on we need grafters not wasters.

What a stupid idea.

How would the place be run? Whenever there was a decision to be made, 100,000 people would have to be consulted.

Shocking that people actually entertain this.

The share holders won't make the decisions lando .They will vote a board in every 4 years say ,and the board will make the decisions on the day to day running of the club i.e Transfers in and out ,ticket prices and that sort of thing . If you are not happy with the boards decisions , then the shareholders vote them out , it's that simple . It works very well in spain and the rest of the continent ,i don't see why it won't work here.

To say 100,000 people would have to be consulted on every decision is just stupid. There would obviously be a system where the shareholders elect a president or board to make decisions. People with a bigger stake in the club would get votes or a say in how he club is run corresponding to the amount of shares they have. So if someone invests £100million I imagine they'd probably get a seat on the board. However, I do think the quoted figure of £500million is naive. Everything the Americans have done in the past few weeks indicates that they would want a lot more if they were going to sell. The fact that they've lied so many times indicates that they can't be believed when they say they have no intention of selling. This should be seen as more of a consortium than anything else, because its only going to work with some really big investors to match the Americans asking price.

And who appoints the board, lampnoodle?

fans couldnt do a worse job than these yanks, i back the idea

[The Manhattan Project]

Instead of trying to raise 500M to take over the club, they should try to raise the funds to pay off however much debt has been loaded onto the club, which would be considerably less than 500M and more practical as a target for fundraising.

[hishhish]

I think the idea is interesting. Just think of the shareholders of company. They don't run the company, but they appoint who does, and that person answers to them. My question is, do the shareholders get all the profits, or is it all reinvested in the club?

[Sarge]

not sure who i'd rather be owned by - jokers G&H or a bunch of malaysians who think football's called soccer. what a f.ucking sad mess our club is descending into

malaysians don't call football "soccer" you w*anker.

Get your facts right. And malaysians are a nice bunch
