Maybe he could reply for himself ?

Ok, I will!!

The poll has a very small response so far, but i'm already finding it interesting! I of course did not pose the questions, so i'd be interested to know how many of the "majority" so far want the KT option or the someone else option as both were contained in the same response.

Is there an element of "better the devil you know".....do people know enough about what a "fan ownership" model would actually look like?

Its difficult to read to much into the figures so far but i'm not going to dismiss them, and indeed have reported back to other Trust board members on the poll's progress so far!

My personal view is that I would like to see a fan ownership model, but i'm not naïve to think that would mean that fans ran the club and were the only ones putting in an money. Its already been touched on but there are a number of local people out there who could possibly come on board should things change and there be a full business plan put together.

There are a number of other schemes.... one of which, "Foundation of Hearts" is I think an excellent model to look at as a possible way forward.  https://www.foundationofhearts.org/

TCobb, yes I agree wholeheartedly that anything that happens has got to be "what the fans want"...... the question is, how do we actually get to find out what the majority of NTFC fans want? Does the club run a survey, does the Trust do it? I'm not sure of the answer to that at the moment. Polls like this though give an inkling of an idea.

I think everyone would agree just by looking at the posts on this site that there is no unified thought process at the moment, either on a local level, or even a national (dareIsay European level!)

Drilling puts it quite nicely in his post below (16:25), I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he has said there.

That just about sums up my personal feelings on this matter.
