It's a noble idea, until 100,000 Liverpool fans sign up.

What could go wrong? Maybe we could have a similar model for in-match decision? Vote for your next substitute, etc.

This guy wants the fans to go halves on the asking price, asking each fan to pay $6 each

How would this even work logistically within the timeframe of the process?

Would he ask the Glazers to hold off while he sets up a GoFundMe style pool until he has the required funds? Or would he buy the club outright and then sell half the shares to fans? Could he even afford to do that? And what's stopping rival fans from buying into the club to make a mockery of it?

Well you clearly know more than most. it's always going to go higher, which is why I just can't see the Glazers sticking around in any form.

It's all so Succession though.
Definitely not mate. :lol:

Yeah I agree the Glazers are definitely going.

Fans having equal say is a nice idea in theory but the reality is that people are stupid.
Ole would have been sacked a year earlier :lol: (which I would have agreed with in hindsight), but you're right its a terrible idea, especially if we have any leverage on transfers. We'll basically end up being a glorified FIFA career mode save.

“The current market value of the club is just under 3.9 billion USD. That means that if every one of the fans of the club would join in buying the club, the total sum per fan would amount to less than 6 dollars. My bid is built on equality with the fans. My group will finance half of the sum needed to take over the club, and will ask the fans, through a new company that is being set up for this specific purpose, to participate for the other half. If every fan joins it means less than 3 dollars per fan. Each fan who joins will have access to an app which the fan, from anywhere in the world, can use to participate and cast his vote when deciding on footballing matters relating to the club. No decisions will be taken that are not supported by a majority of the fan base” says Zilliacus.
Yeah that wouldn't be open to abuse at all. :lol:
