Nonsense to knock on Henderson and the other Liverpool players. Liverpool are still in the ESL as things stand and it takes courage for the players to speak up that clearly. Strong statement.
Agreed, great to see the statement. (no fan of the mouth breather, I promise)

France - can't win anything with Swedish turnips
Come on, give over. Earlier today you were saying it was unrealistic this monstrosity wasn't going to happen.

It's very feasible that the government can mandate the sale of a portion of the club - 20,30 or 50% over a number of years.

Also, the PL can adopt some new rules where a minimum of X% is owned by the fans. Certainly enough for a board seat, so the fans are never kept in the dark ever again.
United is a plc, fans can buy shares , compulsory purchase would have to apply to all clubs, not just United, what do you get for a minor shareholding, a place at the AGM, not involved in the day to day running.

I voted "YES" for the ESL because:



2. Transfer market. Imagine trading Bruno Fernandes for Harry Kane. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think that is what us younger fans want to see. Shocking and exciting transfers. Changing team dynamics, etc

I think the ESL can provide an outstanding product. I will probably receive backlash for this post. But this is my geniune opinion, and I cannot wait for football to be exciting again. I want to be emotionally invested week in and week out, and that can only happen if the best players in terms of skills and branding are pitted against each other.
Sorry us old farts got in the way

Absolutely. That is a very strong statement and he deserves credit for making position and opinion clear. He called for the meeting between captain's too, no doubting he's a leader.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. I'm on the list.
I regret nothing! I’m still on the fence. The inherent issues are still in the game and the new CL format fixes nothing without genuine spending controls. Plus Sky once again trying to convince me this is a great victory for the common man with some North Korean propaganda is doing my swede in.

As much as I disagree with those that wanted it to succeed, or even those that wanted to wait and see; let's not break this unity we've got going now and focus on getting the Glazers out of the club next.

My idea is more about a fan trust through which fans buy the shares and it then represents them on the board. If you have 20%, you get a board seat on a public ompany.

Regarding the pitchforks. So some people here voted yes and some wanted to wait and see. I don't agree, but come on, we need to stop this polarisation addiction. We've got enough infighting to be adding to it. I for one will pretend it never happened :D
