I'm new here and supporting the club, but I've followed football since I was a kid, all over the world- discussed with people in Dubai from Japanese embassy's about the J-League etc I live and love football - but from watching from a fence at City for years it does seem that when an owner doesn't do as the fan base wants then the shit hits the fan - Hamman, Risdale and Tan in my life time.
It's not uncommon though look at the furore that came around when West Ham brought in the Iclandics only for the biscuits to crumble in the barrel - even Brown the owner before him was a love hate figure.
I guess what I'm saying is we aren't alone in owners not necessarily living up to expectations- but I think there is a lot to say about a fan base reaching out with an olive branch and trying to work with the club to make the best of an opportunity.
So how would you do it??

I really don't think this is an issue. Instead of moaning about things which happened 4 years ago we should be concentrating on how to get out of the mess we are currently in.
