A Fans Rep is a good idea.
But they certainly should not be on the club payroll, a director, a shareholder or with any other declaration of interest.
There should be a means by which other fans can communicate anonymously or otherwise with the Clubs management or board.
Messages get sent, conversations are had and forgotten.
When a valid issue is raised or a suggestion offered, fans might appreciate somebody to articulate it on their behalf and the clubs response could be appropriately documented and feedback given.
The running of the Club is the responsibility of the Directors and this will always be the case.
The Clubs Rep I would see as a “Critical Friend.”
Fans and Season ticket holders are entitled to opinion in the right time and place.
Having a rep could ensure these opinions, suggestions get delivered in a more professional manner and we wash less of our dirty linen online.
