I don't see why the Manager can't be democratically elected by the fans....?

    Draw up a short list, then season ticket holders and those with three consecutive ticket stubs cast their vote. What's wrong with that? Then if after 6 months, their win ratio dips below 30% we vote again to sack them or not.

    Power to the people!!! And Redstar.... :)

    That is the most mental idea I've heard.

    Because its a stupid idea?

    leaving aside the fact that the fans cant negotiate the package and make money availlable we woiuld all be voting for people we cant have - Di Matteo or Pep for example

    Even if Billy Davies and Owen Coyle have applied and we vote for them what happens then when they say I need a £5million transfer kitty

    And even after that be honest how many of us would have voted for Spackman or even Hill - I'd have voted for them both - not sure I would have voted for Wilson or Ritchie so I know even less than the Don about picking managers

    Great idea. While we're at it, let's have a weekly online referendum to decide the starting XI and formation. I will be proud to see the super reds as technological pioneers of football democracy. Then they can sort the distorted PA system out.

    Could end up with a coalition sod party and Phil brown tanning party and rowing as chancellor could cut all budgets and put a pasty tax on at half time

    It should be the board members that vote, the only problem is we might as well not have a board...

    Feliz Año Nuevo señor Mario
    Had a few last night, my 2am post about Keith Hill can attest to that! I think I had Dyson in tears, poor lad. Luckily it's tumbled to page 2!

    I read a political essay about Russia which said that a democracy will only deliver a workable government if all poor people OR all stupid people are prevented from voting. Obviously the poor and the stupid cannot be denied a vote. And judging by my trips to Oakwell over the last 25 years, the stupid are definitely not a minority group, so who would we actually end up with as manager? My money would be on Neil Redfearn, Cheri Lunghi, Nick Griffin or Arthur Scargill.

    I agree with this one, fans earn a vote over time with season ticket/match day ticket/club shop purchases/payment into a membership scheme or whever criteria can be set, and then vote on a board member who keeps his position for 2 years and then there's a vote for either them again or someone else, this board member then makes sure the points of teh fans get heard.
