There’s some right crackpots in Finland.

Zilliacus said: "Any sport club ultimately should belong to its fans. My bid is built on equality with fans.

View attachment 72920

"The current development, where billionaire sheiks and oligarchs take over clubs and control them as their personal playgrounds is not a healthy trend.

"The current market value of the club is just under $3.9bn (£3.17bn). 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.

"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 per fan."

Zilliacus plans to give fans a say through an app from which they can "participate and cast" their vote "when deciding on footballing matters relating to the club".

I would enjoy this.

Imagine giving all the dickhead rag fans a say in who they buy?
 
Glazers have a figure they want because once paid and all debt secret debt paid for, it will leave them with around billions! They ain’t selling for a few 100m each for the family

It'd be like a gameshow.
United have got a penalty. Vote who should take it on your app now. Then the game has to wait while the penalty taker flashes up on the big screen (that they'll have to install).

You can take that further - they could pick the team with Davina Mc Call introducing each player while they sit on the half way line in their trackies.
Also make substitutions!
Great idea.

And while we've got the rag squad, 70k+ of the twats in the stadium and that stupid bitch on the pitch we can drop a gravity bomb on the fucker.

Might have been mentioned already upthread, but Ebbsfleet United did the whole ‘fans run the club and make all the decisions online’ thing many years ago. IIRC it started out OK, but quickly turned into a shit-show.

I'd imagine it would start like Orwell's animal farm where all fans are equal before some become more equal than others.

Just picture if we tried this. We could give authority over the decisions on substitutions, team lineups, transfers and sales etc. over to those that flap about on threads like matchday. Rodders and several notable others would be sold after a month at the club.
