Fans on boards
« on: January 27, 2022, 08:01:08 AM »
Have to agree with Alan Sugar and Simon Jordan no place for fans on the board are these fans who join owners on boards going to contribute to transfers or financing club when it’s required

Yes always best to keep these people as customers.

Jordan does a great job on Talk Sport.  Wasn’t he a failed owner at Palace in a previous life.   Guess that’s why he is on Talk Sport, doing just that.  Talking about it.  Giving his views by way of Radio on where Clubs are getting it wrong.
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

Sugars club were/are probably the biggest underachievers in the PL since it was formed, despite previous/current owners wealth.

He didn't hang around long when he realised it was going to cost him some serious money. The sensible thing he did was to get out!

Maybe entertaining listening.   :dontknow:

Easier to talk the talk than walk the walk?

Is this really Loopy, or has SC got his log in details.

So basically clubs should be run by people who are willing to throw money at an issue rather than have competent people running clubs properly?  If ever you needed a reason why the Crouch Report was necessary and the sport in this country is in the state it is then look no further than LL's post.

I suspect this Loopy ( whoever he may be). Is casting a few Crumbs on the water to see what nibbles he can get. :laughcry:

Alan Sugar and Kings Lynn owner ?  Hmmmmm I bet Sugar didn’t have to sell an old Landrover to pay some bills.   
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

I can't understand the need for anyone to contribute. Not with these all these ex League players that were going to be looking for clubs and only needing £400 a week.

Always useful to have fans on the board,they are the only ones who can give the views from a fans perspective.  :dontknow:

As both said fans talk the talk until there’s a transfer to pay or bill to pay are these fans going to dig deep in their pockets IMO they either put up the £££££ or clear off and shut up

The German 50%+1 model has worked pretty well over there.

Fans do put up money every game.

Grissles you being silly now if fans want seats on boards then they should stump up money when transfers are happened and help foot the bill
