    I have been thinking about this for a while..I am not 100% certain how it works in Spain but I no they elect a President every so often.I think this could be a good idea,we would get a kind of camping were we would get all the differnt ideas and which way each person wants to take the club.

    No, Many of the Spansih clubs which run like this are in massive debt and a few are in danger of doing a Leeds.

    The fact that each President is elected for only a year means no long term planning occurs and each new president is under pressure to buy big.

    The fact that premiership clubs are owned by individuals or PLCs means that this will never happen in the U.K.

    To elect a President yes the fans have to own the club...but say the club were to say we will let the fans elect a Director of Football or a postion like that....? a set of fans could harldy moan if the man they put in charge cocked up.I agree one year would be fair to short a term as the club needs to plan so maybe every 4/5 years like the clowns we have in Lenster House
