Gareth Roberts is joined by Stu Wright, Paul Cope, Philippa Smallwood and Ian Salmon to discuss how much supporters could and should be involved in the running of the clubs they love.
Is fan ownership of a Premier League club possible? Would it work? And where would the money come from?
Over a decade after Liverpool were stung by the wrong owners these are questions still being asked.
Imagine fan ownership….we’d be fucking broke inside 2 windows with the extra 30m we’ll keep throwing at every deal simply to get them done.
Haha, I’d love it. I’d be on Twitter every day tweeting ‘Sign Reus’ then be organising protests outside the chippy near the ground when we didn’t sign him.
My local club are fan owned. They need 450k revenue this year to stay afloat. They’re about to go bust.
P.s TAW. Enjoyed that till it cut out on 44 mins in the middle of a good speech by Paul (or is it Cope, since his Jurgen comments).
I had the same cut off at that point.
Was it supposed to end like that?
The show ended very abruptly. Paul Cope was mid-sentence actually. I redownloaded the episode and it was the same. I listen via Pocketcasts if that makes any difference.
Cheers.
Thought the same thing mate, thought Paul was really starting to get a great point across before that.
I thought podcast addict was giving me shit before I got here to be honest.
Fantastic discussion. Great job all. Rational debate and concluding with reasonable expectations that if we really want LFC to be the great club it was and is, fan ownership is unrealistic. Would love to hear another debate on realistic expectations of fan involvement in the club. Are Tony and Peter’s roles having an effect? What would we want to see happen etc
Ended abruptly, assume that wasn’t on purpose?
Apologies regarding the abrupt ending, wasn’t supposed to end that way. If you delete and download again the full show is now there. Sorry about that.
