Bear with me......
In a world of ever increasing technology could we eventually get to a point where there is no "manager" but a consortium of several members (maybe a thousand or more) where decisions about the team are made based on votes (done via an app) which gives you virtually instant responses.
We'd pick the team, formation etc and send instructions to the coaching staff regarding training methods or substitutions during games or change in tactics.
Or do we generally above all like to have someone to hold accountable.

IMHO it was just a way of fleecing money off the fans because you paid a subscription to join up - with the biggest nonsense being that you didn't have to be an Ebbsfleet fan to do so. It didn't last of course, and the fans didn't get their money back. Whether they deserved to after being silly enough to believe it, is another question !! |

This is how we ended up with Brexit. And we'd still be hanging gay folks from lamp posts if we put everything up to the popular vote  |

Pretty much the natural conclusion of the the way the discussions on this board have been going over the last few years. It's no longer a bunch of fans exchanging views it's now a bunch of armchair experts denigrating everything those working for the club are trying to do.
I'm all for equality but what seems to have been lost is the appreciation that natural aptitude, education, local knowledge and experience make some people better equipped than others to make certain decisions. The idea that the fans would do a better job than Rowett - or any other manager with experience of the professional game - laughable. The fact that some people think it is a goer is scary.
Personally I think it's the duty of every sane poster on this board to take the piss (without mercy) out of any poster that tries to make out they know more than the those actually qualified to do the job they are doing. Have a moan by all means but please don't take anything seriously.
