1976_Child Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 (edited) middle eastern business men. so what connection would they have with Southampton? Don't go telling me that all is fine because their oil comes into Fawley. Doesn't do it for me! Besides, Man City is owned by some toss-pot from the middle east and after the initial enthusiasm nothing much has happened. Russian matey at Stanford Bridge? Russian matey at Fratton!! Bunch of middle-easterns trying to get Gooners. Manure is yankee-ure. Christ, for f@ck sake. Here's a radical idea! How about English sporting institutions such as Association Football Clubs are owned, and run for the benefit of, the local community. That is how it used to be.

It is about keeping it local and keeping it ours. same as the reason we should be keeping our manufacturing base local to our shores. A country which can't make anything is a dead dung-heap of a country. Similarly, a town which needs middle-eastern 'business men' to run its football club is also dead. Christ, when exactly was the point when England decided to give up?

We can still make everything we need, we can still run our football clubs. we shouldn't EVER need middle eastern 'business men' to do either. Thing is tho, ignoring all the politics about RL - we are running the club without a sugar daddy or the sky cash that distorts the market. We are supported only by local money brought in through the turnstiles - and most fans are ****ed off about the players we can afford and how badly we are doing. Lots of people like the idea of a locally run, self sufficient club, but not the reality. Unless the rich owners of all the other clubs bugger off then were are still relatively poor, stuck in the CCC scrabbling around for the cash to employ a striker.

All IMO, of course. no it is not. As concerns our football club we could very easily be incorporated as an 'Industrial and Provident Society', run by the members and for the members. As concerns our country's industrial base, a very simple import levy would suffice. It would involve giving the EU the middle finger and building up Her Majesty's Navy to its former glory in order to protect us when the Indians and Chinese get ****ed off with us for not sending our hard currency to them in return for crap goods we could have made ourselves. But we could do it. And we should do it. On the former, you won't ever hear Lowe et al voice in concert the community aspects of our FC and on the latter, Brown only cares about his 'legacy' and sold out the idea of true socialism a long time ago, Cameron is a toff who has too much money already and only wants to 'get in to power' and the BNP are a bunch of racist ****s. But mark my words, our country's economy can only be revived when we stop importing crap from overseas and start feeding ourselves. Proper, true Nationalism (nothing, to do with National Socialism. White, black, christian, muslem or jew, gay or straight we all live on this island and we all have a lot to gain from closing our borders to foreign imports unless we desperately need them). We are a proud country and we are selling our soul to people over-seas just because some t0sser of an 'economist' says there are marginal gains to be made. ******. If I lose my job to an Indian computer programmer exactly what should I retrain as?? I am already highly qualified. Economists are a bunch of useless t0ssers who don't live in the real world. Same as bankers and politicians. SFC needs middle-eastern 'investors' like a hole in the head. Our country needs 'globalisation' like a hole in the head.

We should accept ourselves! SFC should be incorporated as an Industrial and Provident Society, owned and run for the members and by the members. If FC United of Manchester and AFC Wimbledon can be so incorporated then SFC can too... The salient point here is that we don't need a 'rich business man'. All we need is our selves, an open area with two goals at either end and a football. The rest will happen. There were no 'rich business men' 124 years ago. Edit: and if Lowe, Wilde, Crouch and the rest would like to be members of the club then fine by me. One man, one vote.

1976_Child Posted 10 January, 2009 Share Posted 10 January, 2009 (edited) All football decisions to be made based upon polls on SWF! No. the membership elects the Football Committee at the AGM. Then, the football committee appoints the Manager etc. Edit: and the Football Committee numbers the Club Captain as an ex-officio member. The Club Captain is appointed by suffrage of the membership of the club; candidates for the post must be player-members. That way the playing squad has a way to voice their concerns over the appointment of the Manager and there is a channel of communication between the player-members and the wider membership.
