KT was more qualified because he has proven success elsewhere in and out of football. Or at least that was my perception.

A lot of discussion on the various threads has been about a generic fan ownership model and surprise that more people don't support it (massively generalising years and maybe millions of post).
If there was something more tangible, who would be the chairman, who would be on the board, what their history and credentials are etc then it may get more support. I've seen nothing yet, from the Trust or any other group that puts any structure or any confidence that there are people who can take on the club and push it forward, not just do what's needed to keep us as we are now. If KT agreed to sell 51% or more to the fans, at a reasonable price, how long would it take us to have the structure in place?

I agree with your statement and approach on investing in managers and players, having 3 or 4 years to build a squad etc. But you need the money to invest in the first place, you need to have money for contingency in case you lose a player or the manager either to other clubs or injuries etc, and I fear the minority would support this approach long term and the majority would be calling it a failure after 3 to 4 months and calling for change.
