    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Maybe to correct you on a third thing I don't think PST ever were the major share holder, rather just the largest out of four share holders IIRC. I don't think they ever owned more than 50% at any point.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Just to correct you on a second thing. I don't think you're right on the Tesco development either. Read this Proposed Tesco Development at Fratton Park - Past, Present & Future - Pompey Supporters Trust

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Just to correct you on one point. They didn't have a sympathetic administrator. The administrator actually tried to gazump them during the taxi journey to their offices to sign the deal and it took a statement from the FL to state that they'd only issue the golden share to the trust thus making...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Whatever. The point stands. The important thing is the application. If you start from a point of isolating, bad communication, miscommunication and upsetting your customer base while franchising out your services and selling your assets which reduces the quality of your end product then I would...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Proof of funds for what amount? How are they supposed to provide proof of funds when they don't know how much money they need to raise to be able to provide proof of funds? There's nothing stopping SISU discussing the basics with the trust including an amount to be agreed, it could all be done...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    As did Portsmouth. They had to get the ground up to standard so it could be fully reopened, they've managed to reacquire some of the land assets that went missing from the club in various takeovers and administrations and did that while steadying the team and then building on it. They've...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    I thought you were a successful businessman? Surely you understand that application is as important if not more than than the basic model. Are you suggesting that the club is currently being run in the clubs best interests like would clearly happen in a fan ownership model? Both models would be...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    If you'd payed attention to the open meeting rather than try to promote it as a meeting to organise a season ticket boycott you would have learned that the Portsmouth didn't have a clear plan of how they'd take ownership of the club either but still managed it. The reason for that is that they...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    I'd take that. That would clearly be better than what Hedge fund ownership offers us.

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    Wycombe, L2, 11th, 52 points Exeter City, L2, 7th, 57 points Portsmouth, L2, 3rd, 65 points AFC Wimbledon, L1, 12th, 50 points When you consider demographic, history and potential you could only really say that Portsmouth are misplaced and not only did they have a big rebuilding job to do in...

    I was that bored that I concentrated on getting a splinter out of my thumb that I got this morning at work. Positive news is that it's out.

    Oggy probably poured honey potion in SISU's ears. That's what I reckon anyway.

    He ain't that stupid. Everyone knows that. Everyone except those who have been championing JR 2 on here that is.

    I go to lots of games. I just tell you I don't. You mentioning DIY is a barometer of when you and Nick have lost an argument but won't concede the point. Posts like you've just made also register on the barometer. Thanks for keeping me amused though by making sure the barometer works.

    He blamed Oggy and said he'll be talking to the good people of TF and SISU to make sure he's cleared his desk first thing in the morning. Champions league in four seasons here we come. Yippee!

    Did it start "I know SISU carry some of the blame but..." as usual. I did notice that you've managed to bring CCC into the equation with some assistance though. What was it you were saying about deflection being my tactic earlier?

    He'll be OK. He can always console himself in the knowledge that TF and SISU are good people ;)
