Explanation needed please.
What on earth has any of this to do with Derby County as opposed to massaging the egos of those named? |  | | |

What on earth has any of this to do with Derby County as opposed to massaging the egos of those named? |
It is the supporters' trust FOR Derby County and is all about football governance and responsible ownership.
Derby has had some very irresponsible owners in the recent past and had it not been for the supporters' trust it might be that Derby would find themselves in the position that Coventry City were in ie owned by Sisu.
It is no more to do with egos than the supporters' clubs structure - it is about promoting democracy within football and fans having a say in how their clubs are run.
Barcelona is the highest profile club run by a trust and many clubs in Germany and Spain are now owned by fans. In the UK, Portsmouth, Telford Utd, FC Utd and AFC Wimbledon are examples of fan owned clubs.
It is a growing movement designed to make a more level playing field.
Clubs like Chelsea, Manchester C etc all fielding foreign players and paying zillions for those players are not helping the English national game and they are buying their way to titles and trophies. That isn't right.
You can join the trust and play your part in responsible fan ownership and making clubs a part of their own community. | |
