A powerful summoning technique, I’m getting the name ‘Zanetti’

Pity Bucksiron and Pat O’Cake aren’t around still to offer the Board free PR Guru nous and catering expertise.
Have you tried saying their name three times?

Way off the mark Renes suggestion is virtually a carbon copy of Chester and Darlo’s membership scheme but there they own the whole club one member one vote.
Just read Renes post again he’s on about monthly ffs Chesters £2 a month and you become an owner.But with Renes suggestion the owners can walk away at any time.
Honestly do you really want to give the owners money after what they were intending doing. Or letting them buy another Banjo Beck lol.As stated above, yes I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
I don’t expect everyone to support it or want to do it, but it’s voluntary. Personal choice.

I’m definitely in favour for some kind of subscription membership like this (for scunny fans, by scunny fans obsv). And this could certainly help tip the financial balance into something more favourable.
However, this only takes you so far. Modern football is an astronomical money pit. Even a millionaire can struggle to achieve success. At the top level you need to be a billionaire (preferably one that doesn’t see the club as a toy).
I think it’s very important to set realistic goals/targets and do everything to live within a clubs means. For some this causes dissapointments.
I’d rather have a stable club than one that overshoots and folds.

I can’t remember all, but apart from us, York, Hartlepool, Kidderminster, Torquay and Hampton & Richmond were definitely on there. I think Boston was too.
Sorry, it was a bad joke about an SUFC rebrand (not a question about acquisition for influence only).

Drama United FC
What was the other options on the fc100000 voting list?

I do think there’s a misconception that Matt E is Mr Iron Bru because he’s heavily involved with the podcast.
I think people just make the assumption based on that.

Well that makes two of us that remember it.
I can’t remember much about it though. Perhaps a nominal one off annual cost? Then that gave you first dibs on tickets?

Like most, got a lot of time for Michelle. So, I’m going to take her word for it that nothing was signed/agreed.
For me this does put a LOT more in the negative column for fc100000. Utter amateur omnishambles from them to even start being billy big spuds about agreements in principle (and the rest).
I do have niggles in the back of my mind that maybe some fibs are being told to calm things down.
Personally, I would have no problems at all with a club/trust run membership scheme. I could be imagining it but I thought there used to be one. I’m sure I used to have a little laminated card with passport photo on it. Maybe it was for something else.
I want to wake up tomorrow forgetting any of this happened.

The unfortunate thing is it does have an air of predator behaviour about it.
Vultures circling round any poor sods in dire situations. Promising piles of no strings attached cash, except for the opportunity to film people making cups of tea in the boardroom, maybe a 24hr livestream of watching the pitch grow.
I don’t buy the social, doing it for the love of the game angle.
Sympathies to any clubs on their hitlist.

I just feel it’s a big gimmick, flash in the pan. People get bored of this type of thing very easily.

Bullet well dodged. He sounded utterly clueless, all based on ifs and maybes, no substance to the model at all.

I thoroughly despise everything about fc100000, but what I really can’t take is this was all done on the sly. Very underhand. This is something that should’ve been consulted with fans before anything was signed away.
Whoever tried this on, whoever’s brainchild it was, needs to take a few steps back. Even better, leave the club, tail between legs.

The wheels might have fallen off this venture
“A deal agreed in principle” page taken down and ripped up..? Although from the outside the last 24 hours have been filled with our Club’s official silence (which has frustrated a lot of people), there’s no way there hasn’t been outright panic behind the scenes. Frantic emergency phone calls, disagreements, I-told-you-sos, tears and tantrums, dummies spat, etc… And perhaps now FC100000 have glimpsed the utter contempt for them from the supporters and bailed..?
I reckon that could sum it up. Fingers crossed.
