Isn't that what the court case is all about ?.
It's gets really confusing but it always is with us!

85% or 35% depending on the court case.

There's nothing confusing about it. He's the majority shareholder so he gets to make the decisions.

Exactly, controlling interest unless the court decides otherwise

I think that some confusion arises from the fact that although supporters talk of 'my' or 'our' club, we are dealing with private limited companies. The current legal owner of the majority of the shares in Swinton Reds 20 Limited is LP.

perhaps your confusion lies with the inability to separate legal and emotional ownership.
I am pretty sure no fan thinks they own the club, with the possible exception of Football Phil

But supporters tend to think that they have some form of 'right' to be involved in decision making and the general affairs of that company.

Conversely any company that caters to a niche market and a dwindling customer base that doesn't pay close attention to the views of that customer base and possibly even attempt to actually communicate with said customers may find that base dwindles further.

I hope and think most realise that they probably won't get it unless the government mandates fan representation on the board. When the club owner says we are on the brink, I think it's fair enough to request more transparency in the matter. The club will be looking for season ticket money soon after all

You can register displeasure and seek to exert some influence by not buying replica shirts/STs and refraining from viewing/attending games. If the club is already up shit creek I suppose that might be the catalyst for some form of change.

Been very diffcult to register displeasure by not buying replica shirts this season, as it's been nigh on impossible to buy them. But smartarsery aside, boycotts are a very blunt instrument and I don't think it's going on the wilder shores of radical to suggest that any well-run business, or indeed any business that planned on staying in business, might like to engage with it's customers so that it found out where things were going well or badly *before* customers resorted to boycotts.
