Self explanatory. Ripping the heart this club by playing the we're poor card.

Is there a queue of prospective owners? I'm not aware of anyone interested in buying the club or the current owners being willing to sell.

But what are you buying just the flyers or are you also buying KIHC and FIA? If you buy the lot then the new fans owners are going to be responsible for the maintenance of the arena which I'll guess with the age of the building ain't cheap also all the staff wages and various insurances. If you only buy the flyers you would have to pay whatever rent the rink owners(tam and co) want to charge you so any budget would take a hit before you ever get started. |

If its such a fan orientated club then involve them and let them help. |

If your not part of the clique, you've no chance of being able to help at the club. I've long mooted fan-ownership or the slightly more realistic prospect of a Supporters Trust with a representative on the board.
The Panthers have a Trust (albeit huge support) and as mentioned, Coventry have the Booster Club, So why not?

Nice idea and all that but as colorado says its Tam's baw and nobody else gets a kick unless he says so.
Unless someone wins the lottery and gives him daft money to walk away he wont be selling. The guy does things I don't agree with BUT he also keeps the club financial stable and has done so through very difficult times. That doesn't give him a free pass to carry on like he does mind you.
Does he need to take a step back and employ a GM to run the hockey side of his empire yes without a doubt, will that ever happen. Simply put NO.
Once a scrappy always a scrappy and knowing how every penny is spent is just in his DNA. We are stuck with him and his old way of running the club.
