To a point yes. But fact remains Whether they had shares or not German fans just wouldn't take it. Certain clubs in this country have fan ownership or with Chelsea the fans own the pitch to prevent a sale for property development. What we should encourage is fan part ownership if possible. Even if only 10 or 20 percent it gives fans a material say. Maybe something we could press government for. Doubt our mp's would be too keen as its common sense and doesn't line their pockets.Germany is different though isn't it? With the Bundesliga clubs the voting rights are majority fan controlled via the 50+1 rule so as far as I am aware they would have far more say than English club supporters for example.
