Svlad Cjelli Sadly, most supporters don't think about the due diligence and the bona fides of owners until *after* it's all gone horribly wrong.
But what power did they have to do anything about how their club was being run and who owned it - apart from to walk away?

Tony Le Mesmer We could all stay away if we aren't happy in some form of strike, but fans cant bring themselves round to the idea. Not for 2 decades probably. Football has now changed so much it would take some kind of nationwide coordination amongst fans to make themslevs heard. Personally, i dont think the average fan really loves their club as much as they think. They are more than happy to turn up, watch the game and go home to Sky Sports like a bunch of robots. If they really cared, they would do a hell of a lot more to show it. But they dont.

Barry the bird boggler Didn't the FA move from Lancaster Gate a while ago?

Of the three Lancaster Gate would be nicer to occupy though

Barry the bird boggler Mind you occupying Wembley would get a much higher profile in the media....

How were football clubs designed to be? You do know there was never a glorious age of fans and board running their local team as one giant co-operative don't you?

They were designed to be like any other Club. A group of people organised for a common purpose. Professional Football 'clubs' today are anything but that.

Svlad Cjelli Depends.
The Northern, professional, clubs were set up as businesses - except that the FA's Rule 34 meant no money could be taken out. The Southern, amateur, clubs were set up as proper members' clubs.

Irony as to which club managed to break the Rule 34 given the major Footy related news story........
