I know this is going to sound outrageous, but the club is valued at around 6 billion. By reports there are 1 billion united fans across the world. If we could get 1 million of them to pledge 6 grand each we could buy the club. We could take ownership of this great club, and make it about the fans again. Kind of like the German model where the fans own the club.

Does anyone have any sort of knowledge in this kind of business model? If so I would be interested to hear from them.

I know there would be lots of problems, but I've been thinking about this a lot. We need new ownership and who better to make decisions than the fans, the people that actually have affection for this club, that don't want it for personal gain and to bleed it dry. That's all that's going to happen if a billionaire takes control.

I think convincing any United fan to pay the Glazers £6, 000 for crippling the club with debt and turning the top club in the country into an also ran would be a difficult task. Not even to mention the chaos of having a million different owners battling to run things would inevitably result in.

That would be an utter shambles, look at the arguments on this page!

Imagine there being millions and millions who all know best.

Clearly there would have to be elections to create management structures, who? how? where?

You can only win elections through making outlandish promises, look at our governments, but that is most certainly what you would get.

Democracy is all well and good, but it does give votes to an awful lot of stupid people.

Remember, you always end up with what you deserve after an election. Sadly, it is never what people really need or actually want.
