Fan representation on boards is tokenism at best.

What else can be done though mate?

"Hello Mr Moshiri thanks for investing £450 million of your own dough into Everton but I have to inform you that you have to keep spending millions on wages and transfer fees whilst ForeverBlue92 and Arch Stanton can veto any decision you make regarding the club you own"

The horse has bolted the stables mate too much money swilling around English football for the German model of ownership.

even with a voting right they will be patronised and so out of their depth that they will Hebrew beaten into agreeing the club lines for fear of losing their coveted special fan status.
As if Mike from Wandsworth who is normally an admin clerk can cut the shizzle with Abramovic's guard dogs on the board.

not sure what. can be done, many of the clubs may not need anything doing but the ones who sold their sole to the stock exchange have upset the cart. Maybe a law to bring football clubs into private ownership rather than floated, and put constraints onto the owners. Nor really my area of business as you can probably see

Same for the ESL.

The ability to kick the golfers out of the majors has teeth. However, there are several other players in that game - the Masters, the USGA and the R&A. A breakaway tour seems unlikely to succeed, but if it does it's possible to imagine three of the majors jumping ship and the PGA Championship being left with diminished status. The PGA always has had the least status of the the four.

If a breakaway tour does get going, it's easier to imagine older names like Mickelson and Rose signing on (as they have less opportunity to add to their major haul) than golfers in their prime like Johnson. That said, if there's enough guaranteed money it may be hard to say no. Golf is a notoriously fickle game with thin margins, and top golfers are generally an injury or a hitch in their swing or putting stroke away from their income cratering.

I agree, it would end up like a glorified Seniors Tour. Players want to win majors and the money is so big I don't think they would leave the tour for even more of it. Mickelson would certainly go though, as I think he loves money

Mickelson would go because he has a well-known cashflow problem. My understanding is that DJ got rid of the one problem, but still has the same one as Mickelson.
 
Everyone fawning over City, it's just been forgotten about and glossed over this. i am pretty annoyed. If you are watching the CL still shame on you.

Fed of of peoples greed right across the board me.
