Ebbsfleet...

[Coffin Ender]

...or Gravesend for the traditionalists. Club taken over by the www.myfootballclub.co.uk website. This could either go really well or really badly.

 

[Pagey]

I will opt for really badly

[Eastside Urchin]

yep,it is an accident waiting to happen.Will have no sympathy with them if it goes tits up

[Greg_Dyke]

At this point in time, it's just another revenue stream...I dont think they will have any effect on results...just a bit of short term cash...I doubt the members of myfootballclub will see a return on their investment

[Pagey]

What worries me is that the manager is now called the head coach and the fans choose the team

[Eastside Urchin]

I could only believe it could happen at ebbsfleet/gravesend as they are seriously chasing the buck at the moment!

[the saint]

Just paid my £35.00 and voted as a cost cutting measure to allow trotty to take his pick of players on free transfers . What a great idea this is !!!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Nice one saint!

[Hempstead Gaz]

This could all go horribly wrong.

Whilst we are getting a big cash injection, which we badly need, we are selling the soul of the club.

The 20,000 board members can call the club any name they want now.

I am seriously worried.

[Eastside Urchin]

It is pushing the true fans out imo

[Tricky Winger]

Their investment was only £35 though...

[Pagey]

just been reading throught the fleets forum. Its certainly stirred them up.

 

I sincerely hope that it works out for them, it will be interesting to watch how all this develops

[I am Spartacus]

I just hope this never happens to us. I think we should also welcome any disallusioned G&N fans to Gate with open arms. After all we do have a few of thier legends here who are enjoying their stay at Hartsdown.

[djw]

Agreed !

[BlueGate Alan]

Yeah good idea, we are only an hour away after all!

[michael]

How do 20000 members get to know the personal issues re: the players that may preclude them from playing,how do they let 20000 people know who is carrying an injury in order for them to pick the team

Incredible stuff .

 

Do Ebbsfleet keep the £700k when it all goes belly up.

[BlueGate Alan]

The world has gone mad IMO!

[Coffin Ender]

MM, Liam Daish will compile a weekly training report for the 20,000 to read and suggest a team which they will either agree with or make changes to. I think that's how it will work anyway!

 

In a way Daish can't lose. Win matches, he shares the glory. Lose matches, he can blame the 20,000 'owners'.

 

 

 

[MargateFan]

Everything about this does not appeal to me.

[michael]

At least RT only has about 10 of us armchair managers picking the team for him.

 

LD's got 20000.

 

Keeping transfer targets secret should be interesting.
