Own The Club For £35

[Yellow_Fox]

Have come across this website http://www.myfootballclub.co.uk/ which aims to take over a football club.

 

Basically they are trying to get 50,000 people to commit £35 to a fund to take over a football club, with the £1.375m raised. Each 'shareholder' would then have an equal say in running the club, manager, players, tactics etc.

 

Funding each year would be another £35 per person, 'annual membership'.

 

For every member who joins, they can vote for a club of their choice to be taken over. The club taken over will be the one with the most votes, which falls within the pre-agreed criteria.

 

Could be an interesting way of funding the club

Anyone else spot the potential flaw with this?

33,629 number from the site of course around half minimum wont commit but its a nice idea and puts two things up to corporate football
