Mr. Mangard, Let Go (Open Letter to Vincent Mangard)

[Tarinankertoja]

Dear mr. Mangard

Ilves is ours, not yours.

You're just a main share holder in Ilves Hockey Oy, a company that operates the SM-Liiga Team of Ilves. Just that, nothing more.

ILVES is so much more, than the part, that you own. The ILVES belongs to the fans, crowd in tha Hakametsä, juniors played in Ilves team for decades, Ilves Team of the last 80 seasons, tens of thousands Ilves fans, supporters, soccer-players, bandy-players, ringette girls... all that Ilves has made to move and for doing so, moved their hearts. Ilves belongs to them, to us.

During your management and ownership, you have almost destroyed the main ice-hockey team. Yes, you! as a man with the absolute power, you're in responsible for the decline of Ilves main hockey.

So mr. Mangard. Its time to let go.

It's time to give Ilves back to those, to whom it belongs, to the crowd. If you are "the biggest Ilves fan" as you yourself mentioned, you must see the past decade, you must realize this wont work (other vice, it would worked all ready). You, and Only you, have the power to change things, only you.

So let go, mr Mangard. Let go, give Ilves for free if that's what is needed, but give it away, and join us in the stand as a fan.

Theres no more to do,just let go.

Mr. Manngard,

While the opinion expressed above is obviously agreed by some percentage of fans, it is important to remember that the majority of Ilves supporters do not share such an extreme interpretation of the situation. Most conscious adults understand that there is a wide spectrum of gray shades between black and white.

That said, it probably would be in the best interests of the club to decentralize ownership so that no party would hold absolute majority of the shares.

First priority right now is to ensure the company's ability to function operatively. Right after that has been seen to, it would in my opinion be appropriate to start planning an issuing of new shares for subscription at a price as low as possible and a maximum subscription limit of 15 to 20 % per party.
