Fans not Numbers

Good morning. Big new initiative kicking off around the country trying to change the way clubs are run. A few articles in todays heavies - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/sep/05/supporters-direct-fit-and-proper-people-test-club-owners. Not sure if your trust are aware / involved but they should be. Cheers

"The recommendations also call on the FA as football’s governing body to introduce a licensing system for Premier and Football League clubs, which would involve compliance with a more stringent series of financial and governance standards."

Be careful what you wish for. Inability to comply with licensing conditions causes German clubs (e.g. 1860 Munchen last season) multiple relegations in one season. Who suffers for that, apart from the fans, and probably club staff, etc?

Not relevant to us anymore, we're storming up the leagues with fantastic owners who have done a complete 180 on the way they run the club after listening to the fans who are flooding back.
