Let me say initially that I am in favour of a manager deciding the team etc. There has been, and continues to be a long and detailed discussion about this on MFC forums. However, if the majority decide to go this route I will actively participate - and if it doesn't work then MFC will change the process.

The logistics are actually not a problem. The votes will be made and counted within a short period of time over the internet.

How will you be able to sort out tactics one hour before the game, when you first see the opposition team sheet?
|
Again this is one of the problems that has been discussed among MFC members - the suggestion is that we set-up our team to play the way we want them and let the oppsotition play they want to - and the coach will have the authority to alter the formation if necessary. Same thing would apply to subs.

What safeguards do you have in relation to the opposition management having shares in the club? (Are there not rules about opposition management influencing team selections and tactics?)
|
To be honest this will not be a problem - the only way that a club could influence tactics is if they stump up £35 memebrship for maybe 10,000 members and then have several hundred people to operate the online voting mechanism - What club in League 2 or the Conference has that kind of money and those numbers of people to throw away on the off chance of influencing the outcome of the match.

What about the stick of being called FRANCHISE FC?
|
We are not franchise fc - because we don't want to up-root any club and move it from a to b (like the MK Dons). We want to buy a club, work with existing supporters and the local community to develop the club in a way that involves as many people as possible.

Whilst the Idea is sound, the practicality is absurd, and unworkable.
