peasepud Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If we did manage to buy the club and you were voted in as President. What would be the very first thing you would do/ change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 It's a tough one... what powers would I have? I'd like to start looking for a proper manager, to be appointed after the end of this season. I'd like to start properly looking for a buyer for Mike Ashley's share of the club, but I guess that would be beyond my remit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I guess the fans would still be minority shareholders, wouldn't they? Or is the plan to buy the whole club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PJ87 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Actually listen to fans about what they want the club to do (both off and on the field). And if the club disagrees with the fans, actually explain why you disagree. Honesty is the cruicial thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone hasnt read any of the stuff, we would own 100% of the club You're right, I haven't really gone into it, seems a bit far fetched to me. Especially if we need to buy the whole thing. That's for the other thread though I suppose! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Appoint Temuri Ketsbaia as manager and give him full control of transfers and team affairs. Hold a quaterly meeting between board and fans where discussions about everything from team affairs to pie and pint prices can take place. Hold a vote between shareholders as to who or next kit supplier and sponsor should be. Have a raffle, the winner of which will get the joy of tearing down that Sports Direct ad on the Gallowgate. Lobby other clubs for a serious, sensible debate on safe standing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only a laughing stock of the footballing world, but also accused of exploiting the thick people who think they can be footballers. It would be like the X Factor auditions!

peasepud Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 One of the aims of the Trust is to get the club back into the community with football tournaments, plenty for kids etc, a by product of that is the spotting of new talent at an early age.

madras Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 go through the books. hire a hot looking dirty slut as my PA. hire an experienced chief exec to oversee a root and branch review of the club particularly focusing on scouting and youth.

SEMTEX Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 for those saying get rid of the high earners..........how do you propose to do this ? I'd just not give them a new contract / offer them a crap contract / offer them to other clubs. If they didn't accept then fine, but they'll be out the door when their contract is out if no-one would take me them off my hands before then.

What? I already said I'd offer them a crappier contract.. I'd implement a wage structure, and there'd be no exceptions to the rule. And yes, I'm aware people may still be hanging around for 3/4 years if I couldn't shift 'em. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
