People said the same when Hall and Shepherd left the club but they soon got back in when it all died down.

I think for Newcastle - a supporter owned club wouldn't work.

 

Aren't Barcelona financed from other, more questionable sources anyway?

 

All joking aside, it would be interesting to see how it would work with a big club here

 

We're unlikely to see it though. If memory serves me correct even at the height of the Glazer takeover we could only get to something like £60 mill in pledges and that's from probably the biggest supporter base in this country. It's unlikely we're going to see it with big club here anytime soon.

Basically you need a good hearted sponsor who can guarantee a bank loan without taking formal power. A kind of oversight with a time limit is the best way.

Whether he starts coming to watch the match again has no impact on me tbh. If he can't sell the club, I'd sooner he took an interest than not.

 

agreed.

 

Yep.
