Do not get the argument that points dictate progress. If you finished 2nd in the league with 85 points one season then finished 1st the next with 80 points thats progress. Or in our case if we finish 2/3 places higher then the last it means an extra 1 to 1.5 million  

Think it could be a good idea and not a pipe dream. Could see people who care about the club involved and enable us to have questions answered. Everyone would be looking out for the good of the club. Think its as much a realistic idea as getting a new owner is. If the club is valued at around 200 million as well it would allow randy to recoup 100 million. Think I remember reading that a club in the championship or league one is doing it as well. Works well in the German league, we could be the first to jump on board that ship instead of waiting for others to do it and saying its too late and we missed out on improving first. 

New owner could turn out good or bad. What do people think about 51% fan ownership, could be a different solution. 

Think benteke turning into our main man has dictated the way we play with lambert effectively building a team and style of play suited best to his attributes. Think when or if he goes (although we shouldn't sell and we should try our best to keep him as we moan of non improvement then seem to want to sell one of our best players) the style may change again.

Could be argued Kozak was brought in so the style didn't have to change when or if he goes, however I think that was based on more that if benteke got injured we didn't have to move to a style we hadn't worked on. With more time in the summer to work on it you'd like to think that the style could change.

Would like to see his third proper transfer window and third season in charge before judging the job he has done.

Anyone else read that and want to tell Merson to shove it?

It is understandable though unless the 19 goals are replaced, or alternatively are defence improves a considerable amount.
