As Ive said before in this thread - fan ownership is a wonderful idea. But its an idea for the future, for when the PL start caring about the fans or when Ashley fucks off. Not now.
There are MUCH bigger problems than this at the club currently. Any supporters group should be focused on these issues for the time being.
I know the trust has raised an enormous amount of money and if any charity sees a penny of it they should be applauded, of course they should. But extrapolating the sum raised in the time taken to raise it, then centuries must pass before theres enough to get a seat at the table.
Even if I win the maximum jackpot on the Euromillions I would still need double or triple to make the club viable - the days of John Hall or Jack Walker pumping 30m or 40m into a club to compete for the title have long since disappeared.
Any fan ownership of a club would, in my opinion, have to be gifted not bought. The sums involved are simply too astronomical.
In the wider context, there should also be fan representation at the FA and at the PL, but i think we all know this will never happen.
