Stimpy 0 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 http://www.therst.co.uk/rst-meeting-with-jim-mccoll-and-paul-murray/ Short advisory to members. Twitter: Community ownership is our main goal. Yesterday we got a commitment from prospective board members that their aims are aligned. Through consultation we can work together to provide a framework whereby all stakeholders can benefit and see our club prosper. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crucible 0 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I didn't see any agreement by McColl's group towards fan ownership, is community ownership some strange spin off with no power other than a name ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Impossible to say without knowing more about the context of both the meeting and that ^ tweet. We're in a unique position when it comes to fan ownership of being both too big & not big enough at the same time. We have such a big fan base that fan ownership would result (imo only, of course) in constant fighting between factions; we're not quite so big that a fan owned club could also attract the kind of external funding a la Barca or Madrid that would allow us to compete at any sort of decent level. So in the end, a representative with no real power is probably about the most fans can hope for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
