Really good post Black Urum! I only disagree with one thing:
I don't think this would be possible and/or good for the team. People in Balkans are really passionate about their sports teams, football and basketball most popular, of course.
I'm sure you all heard about atmosphere Partizan Belgrade fans make when Partizan plays Euroleague match in Pionir or Belgrade Arena. It's legendary! Sadly, I only got a chance to go once to such a match, but I will remeber it for life. And what a match it was: do you remember Partizan-Barcelona ? When they went into OT, and Roberts knocked that ball of the rim...
My point... Organised fans give the players extra strenght to play at their best for full 40 minutes, or more if needed. PAO fans also make a great atmosphere when PAO plays at home. Also, I'm sure OLY-PAO rivalry would not be as popular and as hard-core as it is now if not for those fans. Yes, some ugly things happened on those games, but for me, its part of the game somethimes...
Now, if I could buy me a team, I would wait for new law to be approved in Serbia, then buy Partizan, give them more money, so they can be competitive with Europes creme in that field, and changed nothing else. Just let current managment to continue doing what they were doing so far.
Quote:5. Finish off "organised fans"
