Hi, Im a brewers fan (as you probably guessed from the name)

 

i believe this whole thing is such a stupid idea. its the internet gone mad quiet simply. someone had a weird and wonderful idea one day and 20,000 people fell for it. Now they are going to ruin the future of football for all REAL supporters. the majority of the 20,000 probably dont even know who ebbsfleet are!

 

I quiet frankly feel sorry for all the True ebbsfleet supporters right now. if it had been my club this was happening to then well i would be reacting how alot of you are. all i can say is i truely feel sorry for your supporters!

 

Johnboy28 what you just said about moving up leagues and "going places" is slightly like Hitlers regime. you've read something and you believed it. the word is gullable. if you ask me then its the worst idea i've ever heard in my life!!!

I'm sorry but as a supporter of as a supporter of a different team i cannot see them going "up and up" anywhere and i can see them however going down and down. the fact that 20,000 people get to chose the team is changing the game of football. Its the managers job to do that, or the "head coach" as he's now called according to MyFC

Football isn't all about money. You are aware there is a salary cap in the league 'your' new club play in aren't you?

What use is success if its at the expense of the real fans who may well jack it all in, because they've been completely trodden down by your little experiment? Do you even care what they think?

this isnt football manager now, its real life!


You're right. Money isn't always the answer. But from a young player's perspective, I think I'd very much like to play at a club that suddenly has the media profile EUFC has after today. And knowing that if I work my butt off for the members, they're going to pick me for the squad regularly, I'm ready to go. I think you underestimate the power not of money, but of exposure for a young star in the marking, looking to make his name.Just my two cents' worth, of course.

You will go up a league or two, then reach a level from which you cannot progress any further. Most of the MFC dudes will get bored and not renew their annual fees. You will have a load of players on high wages who they kindly bought for you... but no income to pay them with. You will borrow to stay afloat, rack up debts then crash and burn. Sorry... writings already on the wall.... Conf South within 5 years.

 

I am deeply saddened by this whole thing, btw - my heart goes out to all you genuine Ebbsfleet fans

I think that you are beginning to believe your own publicity just a tad to much.

"You're" not the only fan (and I used that term very loosely) owned club in the country, you know?

I'll still be saying the same thing whether they are in leagues above or leagues below. This is the stupidest idea i have ever heard of from someone who decided that they wanted to try and make history. i actually want this to go t*ts up, not because of Ebbsfleet or because of the fans, they all deserve their football club ran by normal chairman and boards. i want this because it will ruin football if every club is ran by 20,000 people.

 

rsheard does it not tell you enough that these people have decided to experiment by 20,000 people taking over a football club that they might try playing Onome Sodje (hes an ebbsfleet player for you My Football Club "fans") in goal. Its possible, look at what they have already done. dont get me wrong though i see your point clearly, i just dont think this should be happening to any football club!

Sorry man, out of my hands. Your issue is with the people who currently own the club. They seem to think the best thing to do is sell.

Also, maybe you missed the thread, but a few of the "true supporters" seem to be on board for this adventure.

Seeing as the general consensus of the "true fans" is that this is just a fad, maybe they should join MFC. In a couple of years, when the novelty has worn off the "true fans" will be the only ones left.

And the "true fans" owning the club can't be such a bad thing.

Alternatively, the "true fans" could vote with their wallets. That would sure send a message.

Then there's the 'wait and see' option.

Normal chairmen and boards? The kind that come in, make a fast profit, and then walk away leaving the entire club screwed over? Normal chairmen that invite you into the decision making process and let you have a real say in how your club is run?

 

Somehow it doesn't make MyFC look so daunting in comparison. I understand entirely your concerns about the members choosing the players.

 

I personally don't believe this will be nearly the issue it seems. First of all, the vast majority of the members are not mouth-breathing dolts. With some study and guidance from the coaching staff, we'll get a fairly clear picture of the squad pretty quickly. No we won't be able to spout off a hundred years of historical events regarding the club (at least I won't be able to), but we'll have a pretty good idea of how the team has been designed and what the coaches believe works and what doesn't.

 

From there choosing the team looks to me like it will be more an exercise in adjustments around a reasonable framework rather than a weekly popularity contest. I don't believe the membership can screw up as monumentally regarding the lineup as most people are suggesting.
