Football has had a huge role in the entertainment industry since time immemorial. It’s a game that brings people from various parts of the globe and different walks of life together, defying time and sometimes distance. It promotes unity in so many ways, as people from different parts of the continent are brought together by a common purpose, that is, supporting their team.
Most times after a great game, fan may have a form of reward they wish to give to their best player, or even after a poor performance, they may have vital contributions on how to improve performance next time. Their lack of involvement in the decision making process of most club management systems, can be very infuriating.
There is a lack of completely democratic systems, where decision making is delegated to fans, and the opinions given are actually implemented. Fans feel they have no say in the clubs they are willing to give all their support to, and club management feel their professional and financial effort is not appreciated. This breeds displeasure between most club management and fans.
