Team Dick or Team Tony?

A different kind of pasty
Don't forget the "fence" option - think it could be needed in this one
Please do not do a poll on this. It will be done I'm sure, but really what is the point. There's another thread already discussing this.
Both have played a major role in helping the Albion in very different ways.
I'm Team Albion, because in 50 years neither Dick or Tony will be here, but I strongly believe the Albion will be.

Didn't Bozza say that we shouldn't take sides just the other day?

Both. I really don't see why you have to pick one or the other.

Sorry for the delay - seems poll options can only be 100 characters which required extensive editing of my original 3rd option.

Isn't someone flogging tickets, at a quid a time, to join Team Tony?

My understanding is:
Dick believes no club, including us, should be controlled by one individual. Tony controls around 90%, thus upsetting Dick.
Given that Tony is an excellent owner who has done nothing to abuse the 90%, Dick's argument is moot. Were Tony to sell up and the new 90% controller be an arse then Dick's point is very valid. Hence I'm sat very on the fence.
It's a bit like the chicken and the egg I think without Dick there would have been no Tony ??

Show me a club in the premiership that does well as a result of having many many fan shareholders.
It's a lovely theory to think fan ownership is good, but in reality, you're much better of having a billionaire chairman than a bunch of penniless fans.
