A post where i unpack a little of what I mean by Fanownership
One of the main IMHO knee jerk reactions to any Fanownership proposal is....
"the Fans cant run anything"
"the Fans disagree on everything"
"Fanownership would end up with the Club being run like a Bowling Club"
"we are so divided how will we ever agree on running the Club"
"we are so divided how will we ever agree on running the Club"
I see the word Fanownership more as a short hand for.....
Community Ownership and Fan Governance....you can see why a short hand is needed.
Community Ownership is more about just getting the fan that goes every week to engage in the Purchasing CIC, it is about engaging anyone or any organisation with a link to Rangers Football to positively engage in the Clubs ownership and Future.
Fan Governance should be seen as being more about oversight of a properly appointed Board of the Football club rather than Fans with no particular experience getting involved in any day to day running.
Most Fans are frankly not that interested in what happens day to day in a football Club but do want to make sure that they can properly and if necessary forcibly hold the board to account for its decisions and spending and introduce transparency that prevents folk running the Club for their won benefit.
I think all Clubs and certainly all Fans of all clubs would benefit from a bit more transparency in our Great game and in our great Clubs
So when i say Fanownership think Community Ownership and Fan Governance
