"Lets stop pussyfooting around. The club needs strong leadership and it is not going to come from a few deluded so called supporters with a fancy name.
Fans have had a team and ground PROVIDED FOR THEM for 130+ years and at the<strong> first hint</strong> of difficulty it is run and cry to mother time. Give power to the 'fans'? I've never heard anything so ridiculous. This is like asking Mr Cameron to hand over power to communists! We don't want any of this 'power to the people' stuff in Northwich.
<strong>Run right over them Mr McNally and run the club your way.</strong> Then there will be a future.

I can't believe this poster is calling us communists. Communism is state control, that means a certain group of people will be in control of everything, which isn't democracy. This is clearly not the case with the Supporter's Trust. The board act on what their members say, which clearly is democracy. If anything we are socialists.
"Social ownership" may refer to any one of, or a combination of, the following: cooperative enterprises, common ownership, direct public ownership or autonomous state enterprises. This is basically giving power to the local community, i.e. in the case of the Trust, the fans. The UK used this function like this all the time until crony capitalism came in, introduced a new political class, moved local businesses into the third world countries and the UK became a more service sector dominated country, aimed towards selling itself as part of the market economy and attracting private enterprise. That's globalisation for you and look at the mess we have been left in terms of debt and the middle class are now going on strike. It's only the rich that are happy because the poor have to be poor for this to work.
Jim Rushe's regime is a typical example of Fascism.
"Fascists advocate a state-directed, regulated market economy that is dedicated to the nation; the use and primacy of regulated private property and private enterprise contingent upon service to the nation, the use of state enterprise where private enterprise is failing or is inefficient, and autarky. It supports criminalization of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers because it deems these acts as prejudicial to the national community."The above seems like Rushe's secretive regime where fans are kept quiet and told to shut it or made to feel intimidated if they question the way the club is ran. We have no knowledge of where any money is going and Rushe/McNally fail to see the benefits of an open, democratic society yet you call us communist?
Hilarious.
