OPTION ONE
What we have now as a football club (not talking about relegation or even the current chairman specifically but how the club operates)

 

OR

OPTION TWO
A club ran sustainably as a selling club that reinvests player sales into the Academy and young upcoming players, where the club and fans work hand in hand to create the most positive experience possible for Wednesday fans.

Where the chairman (and a board ideally) don't just throw something at the fans and say 'here.. pay for this' but instead say (at one of the many regular meetings) 'What is it you would like as fans of this club' and then go away and act on it, and provide it (e.g. better facilities, ideal kit designs, better choice of catering, pre and half time entertainment, ideas on fan engagement and how to attract more fans to the matches on a regular basis, and how to ensure the local young un's choose your club instead of Man United and Chelsea etc, and ideas for all other aspects of the club etc)

Option Two would see the immediate striving for promotion at all costs gone, and instead take the long term approach where fans come first, and that you instead focus on the actual experience of being a Wednesday fan and build from there, hoping that the long term build will eventually build a team that can challenge for promotions

Which would you prefer?
 

I believe in legal terms this is known as leading the witness. Not a very realistic comparison.

Option 2 would just end up with infighting and fans nowadays in the main aren't interested in the long term, they want instant success.  

As demonstrated when fans demand managers are sacked after a string of poor results and want competitive action in the transfer market.   

 

The intention is honourable but I can't see working in reality.

 

What it needs is a proper structure with the owner who is committed to the long term interests of the club and constantly strives for progression of the club.
