so with this ownership deal with this mystery consortium taking forever to be finalised its looking unlikely that any community engagement in the ownership will be likely to happen. We assume Thompson is involved in this consortium but details of who else are no where to be seen. I reckon when its finally completed this consortium will take over and community ownership wont even be mentioned. The ffa just made it seem like a possibility while they were conducting their member/business/community forums just to give fans and members some false hope and keep them as members for this season. Does it really have to be so secretive as to who is involved in this consortium and these talks. Whether the deal is completed or not it will eventually come out. Cant really see why the people involved have to be a secret it gives me the shits actually. What would have happened if all existing members refused to renew memberships until details were released or the deal was actually completed before they chose to renew or not. Its a business deal for a sporting team so why the need for secret squirrel talk. Just doesnt seem fair for members to pay money to be a part of something they know nothing about !
