Maybe it's a long shot, but THIS article got me thinking. I encourage you to give it a read.

At the very least, I'm guessing this would only happen in the not-so-near future. As far as I know, supporter ownership has never existed in MLS, a league where three guys once owned all the teams.

But I can't help but think that it would be cool if the Timbers Army had a supporter's trust that owned, or partially owned Timbers somewhere down the road.

What do you think? Would this ever be possible? What aspects of the team, and of football in general, would our supporters culture need to become more attuned to and educated about to do this successfully?

And now I must hide before Merritt Paulson's hit men figure out who I am.
