Hypothetically speaking, should the worst happen and we get relegated again and the board looked to jump ship, how easy would it be for the fans to set up a fans buy out of the club?

You mean from the Championship or when we get back up to the PL?

I can see it for some of the smaller clubs, Rupe, but not for a club like Blues. Whilst we may not be amongst the biggest of clubs, it would still cost more than fans could put together to buy the club. Then there is the fact that they would then have to try and stump up more money for transfers.

The only way it would happen would be if there was a 'celebrity fan' who was loaded with cash to invest, but also wanted to have the fans play there part by contributing something to be part of the club.

Sorry, I just can't see it happening. It's big business now. :(

a fans buyout? So you would be sitting down trying to reach agreement with Curly & Sha007?
C`mon mate think it through. The only club who have done this are some non league minnow.

Precisely Des.

If it happened I would turn my back on you all. I have warned everybody about McLeish. He has relegated us and if we do go into liquidation it is his fault - he relegated us. It was him. I saw it coming at the Boltom 3-0 defeat away game in December 2007 - and I was right that season and agin this season.

I would not trust any investment of mine with people who become so blind with regards to the football club.

A fans buy out doesn't necessarily have to be a great big room with thousands of people trying to have their say. I would point out that Barcelona is owned and operated by the fans and I would bet that they dont always agree with each other. Further more, as I have already said in another thread SHA007 etc have teh right to voice their concerns, all I was saying is right place right time.

I am also not suggesting for one moment that I or anyone else from this forum would have a say on footballing matters etc just that we all would be share holders and as share holders we would have the right of representation at the general meeting.

I am sure there are enough bluenoses to get something going if it ever did happen. No moaning at the ticket prices of £5 at Alvechurch - but the allocation?

Where we would play? If it was in the Black Country I wouldn't bother. Leafy Warwickshire would be nice - that would cheese-off the Vilers. Blues in their back garden, so to speak.
