The idea has a lot of merit but nobody will ever know if it works until it has worked, or failed. The benefits are huge - but the pitfalls are also as big.
I don't see your first scenario as likely. Bored members simply won't renew while new ones will be appearing at the same time. The total number of members will aways be in flux. But the bored members will not suddenly persuade 75% of all members to sell; they'll simply not renew and leave the trust.

Your second scenario is a valid concern, and no one--Stanley supporter or MyFC member--wants to see the club ruined. But I obviously believe this would work well or I wouldn't have subscribed myself.
