Is the only way to run a football club to have a rich bloke in charge calling all the shots? Doing what he thinks best and unanswerable to anyone? What do the Germans do? What is happening at clubs like Hearts, Leeds, Portsmouth, Swansea, AFC Wimbledon, FC United of Manchester, Hereford, Northampton and probably a few more doing?
Are people like Tan, Oyston, Bates, Ridsdale, Allam, Ashley, the Glazers and others like them the only people qualified to run football clubs?
Are we as supporters, mere customers? Are football clubs just like any other business?
