So how do we 'Hold them to account'?Of course. The post is in response to them stopping him from wanting to loan instead of a share issue.
Holding an owner to the account isn't the same as a random fan calling the shots at board room level

wage bill is a sign of the owners commitment-not geerating the cash to pay the wage bill by not selling out the ground in the premier league is a sign of the fans not doing there bit

But will 'all hell break out'?
A very tolerant bunch are Sunderland supporters.
Would the shoulders just be shrugged?
We've been lied to again, oh well we're used to it would likely be the reaction.

Hahaha. What on earth are you prattling on about?!
How the fuck can fans make football clubs ‘loss making’?
It’s up to owners to cut their cloth accordingly. There are plenty Premier League clubs making a loss. Is it the fault of the supporters for not buying enough pies and club keyrings?

I'd love to hear what you think it means and especially what changes it would effect?

despite the owners apparent commitment the team were fighting relegation almost every season.
to have crowds in the top 6 of the league is nothing less than amazing considering what was being served up.

But when we cut our cloth accordingly, everyone had a meltdown.

Tell me which club generates enough thro their ticket sales to fund their wage bill.

So the fans are directly to blame and responsible for the losses arising from deals like Rodwell and Alvarez and countless other horrific bits of business on a descending scale of shitness. Those two alone probably cost the club in excess of £40M for absolutely zero return. SAFC had PL money, match-day revenues and other income over £130M a year, it is not the 'customers' fault that the club was badly mismanaged. Unlike "every" business you mention the % of revenues from fans attending games is a small proportion of overall income.

Ticket sales alone, probably most in L1/L2, given the SCMP caps of 60/55% of income, in which divisions ticket sales are the largest element of turnover.

there are lots of profitable clubs who generate enough from revenues, including ticket sales, to pay for the costof the club. Chelsea made a profit in their last accounts, abramavhich took a payment of £4.4m and they still won the champions league the next season. Man utd are very profitable. six league one clubs made a profit in the year pre pandemic...Tell me which club generates enough thro their ticket sales to fund their wage bill.

Wage bill is a sign of the owner not being able to get a grip.

Premier League clubs obviously. Seeing as that is what our entire discussion is about.
Woah there. Ticket sales you said. Let's stick with the silly point you were making.

No mate. They were released earlier but spontaneously combusted when opened turning the text into pixel soup.
