Famously the big clubs' fans were really on board with the super league...
They've had enough. We all have.

If that’s the case, who are you interested in?

I think there's more chance of Sludge getting off with Victoria Coren.
Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
Fifty one per cent fan ownership at clubs could be a reality if there was really the desire for such a thing in the corridors of power, but I don’t see any sign of it and there has been a lot of rowing back on that score since the news of the ESL broke just over a fortnight ago. The stories that the Government were very annoyed by the slow response of the Premier League to the Covid related problems of smaller clubs made me hopeful something radical might be on the way, but, despite fans clearly still being annoyed at the six clubs, there’s been what looks like a back to normal outlook from the game’s decision makers.

How are fans going to come up with hundreds of millions of pounds to buy the major shareholding in the biggest clubs though?
Transfermarkt have City's value at £58.35M and I can't see us oiks being able to cough up 51% of that figure. And I can't see current owners relinquishing their assets at a huge loss.

agreed, but its the only way this 51% will happen, as fans are never going to tip up with the money
