Recently the Tories nationalised Northern trains cos the original private provider managed them so horrendously the service literally stopped working several times. So the state took control, got it's house in order, then looked for a private bidder again. Something like that would stop this.Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑2 years agoFan ownership is the only way I can see this thing being prevented.

I wonder if they're considering nationalising the top 6. That would put an end to this madness.
They could, and should, then hand em over to fans and let us run them in our interests, not billionaires interests, like Bayern, Dortmund etc
This is something I was ridiculed for on here multiple times. But now it looks like the only way - unless anyone can think of another way to stop it?
And clearly, this being an internet forum, we could never, ever advocate violent acts or threats against the personal safety of the chief orchestrators here.
I'd like fans to have full control afterwards, or at least stake so they can veto nonsense like this in the future. But they'd probably put it back in private hands. But even so it would end this particular crisis.
*Edits* the guardian reckon the gov are looking at changing clubs' ownership structure to include fans, which would presumably allow us to veto this move
I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS WE SHOULD BE FAN OWNED FFS IT'S NICE THAT OTHERS NOW AGREE FFS
