me too tbh.

Then how about preventing individuals from having a controlling stake in football clubs? It can be argued that football clubs are so ingrained in our culture that they should be owned by the people in the local community rather than held by wealthy businessmen as an investment. That'll never happen, especially under this Govt. Indeed. A Conservative government taking on an assortment of powerful interests -- Emirates, oligarchs, billionaires -- in the name of football fans?

Shouldn't Coventry City fans in effect blame the council? You'd think a massive campaign to vote out anyone who approved their stupid deal with the Ricoh.

The amount of money I will probably splurge into the club on tickets and merch when Ashley finally fucks off is going to be ridiculous...

:lol:

Sold.

I've been laughing solidly for about 15 minutes now. This guy is a complete clown. :lol:

Why the hell not? Parliament is sovereign. If they want to legislate that all football clubs in England must be 50%+1 fan-owned with no compensation then they can and tough shit to the current owners. Obviously they won't, and it might break some international treaties but they can do it if they want. No balls.

Well I'm sold.

Depends who comes in after, didn't take Man City to turn around their fortunes with the right owners. Yeah but it's the brand and the passion in the club as a symbol of the city. That can't just be turned around straight away.

When Ashley finally fucks off it's going to be a long time before the damage he has caused is repaired.

Fan ownership of the club. It's the only way. What ever happened to the attempt to buy it?

That in black and white... EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/QPga7T8.png Dicks.

clean, simple, correct colours, half decent sponsor... Could be worse.

A petition worked for Everton and other clubs, why not us? Didn't the club say they don't make much money from shirt sales anyway so therefore its irrelevant that people buy them. You've answered your own question. No because they obviously do WANT to keep the fans happy. They aren't going out of their way to piss us off so therefore if enough of us voiced our opinion in a clear way like a petition. It'd be hard for them to ignore it.

That's beautiful... Fuck off Puma

Dunno why i find this very amusing. FIFA 14 promo screenshot for a 'global scouting network'. http://i.imgur.com/arLeqyF.png

The material on the away kit is horrible. Haven't seen it in the flesh, but looks good in bits and bytes. It's see through if you hold it up to the light. It looks and feels like crepe paper.

Had a look at the new England kit today in Sports Direct. Horrible material, not properly embroidered badge. Shit.

I personally think there should only be 1 Champions League place for each country. Agreed, but whilst the system is in place, I think the last place should go to the FA Cup to give the competition some more importance, and gives it more authority as a 'champions' league.

I personally think the 4th Champions League place should go to the FA Cup winners.

Worse thing is how helpless we are to do anything about it for the club we love.

Anything more ever mentioned about this? Usual Lee Ryder bollocks?
