Only problem is, who is going to pay the $5million plus price tag the greedy c#$nts at FFA are adamant on?
I'd say it's a reason to not take him seriously. Community ownership in this town is a complete ****ing joke. People here either don't have the money or are too tight to part with it.
I mean on top of actual season tickets / memberships what would the chances be of finding say 1000 fans willing to throw $10k each into the pot ? I'd say **** all, and those that did throw that type of money in would basically want to select the team every week and advise on the formation and tactics employed.

**** the community model - it will never work in this town.
