A leading barrister has called for the age of consent to be lowered to 13, and claimed that Operation Yewtree - with its emphasis on outcomes over process - is far more damaging to society than anything done by Savile.

Q&A session with Erik Samuelson, Chief Executive of AFC Wimbledon

Members may recall that Erik Samuelson, CEO of AFC Wimbledon, kindly agreed to do a question and answer session for Jambos Kickback on the subject of supporters’ ownership and particularly on the model which AFC Wimbledon use.

AFC Wimbledon are the highest profile, most successful example of supporter ownership in practice in the UK. Erik emphasises that every club will be in different circumstances and that there is no ‘standard model’. Erik actually agreed to do this Q&A some months ago, but for various reasons it wasn't really the right time to go ahead.  However we now reckon that it would be timely and useful in the current Hearts situation, where supporters’ ownership is being mooted by both the club and by Foundation of Hearts (FoH), for JKB members to have an opportunity to explore the pros and cons with someone who has ‘been there, done it’.

Erik has provided a short message to start off the discussion and also a couple of useful links which demonstrate supporters’ ownership in action - I'll post these next.  The plan is that members can use this thread to ask questions.  Erik will post responses next Monday evening (April 22nd), and then stay online for a while to answer additional questions that members may have.

Please keep the questions fair and polite and about the Wimbledon model and lessons learned. For example it wouldn’t be fair to ask Erik leading questions about the Club or FOH plans – I am sure he would be happy to speak directly to them if they want advice.

Erik's message is coming up next.
