Sack the board…oh wait, that’s me

by Olly on September 23, 2010

With the ownership problems currently being faced by many of the countries clubs I’m sure most of us have thought we could do a better job. Well now you can have your chance, and you don’t need Abramovich’s millions, it only costs a fiver.

Fivepoundfootballclub.com are offering you a chance to be part of a community that will purchase and run a club using the best bits from the ‘socio’ system in Spain or the ‘50+1’ system in Germany. With the option to increase your stake and gain more authority you’ll have a say on all ownership matters as the club looks to grow and achieve success.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a football club then why not invest some of your Picklive winnings in fivepoundfootballclub.com? You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter and chat to the guys behind the project.

    Did something similar to this before with MyFootballClub and they eventually bought out Ebbsfleet United. Everyone was raving about it at first, and they even won the FA Trophy in their first season “in charge”…didn’t renew my membership though, not many people did :/

      From reading what the guy’s running have said I think this one will be purely ownership and so the community won’t be getting involved on the playing side which, correct me if I’m wrong, happened at Ebbsfleet.

    I’ve signed up. It’s a fiver (which is one of the reasons why I think people will be more tempted to renew, unlike Ebbsfleet)! And it looks like it could be a Welsh club. Abergavenny Thursdays are popular in the members’ area.
