MyFootballClub

U

UK based MyFootballClub is aiming to take the power of collaborative social membership to the world of English soccer by purchasing a professional English soccer team using user contributions.
The site launched in April and had over $500,000 in contributions within its first 24 hours.
The legal side is fairly simple. Contributors become members of the MyFootballClub Trust for £35 ($69). £27.50 goes towards purchasing a soccer club, buying new players and other club expenditure with the remaining £7.50 going towards administration. The Trust will acquire a soccer club only on the basis that the purchase provides a controlling stake (51%+) of the club and where the club is either debt free or has a manageable level of debt.

There is now another company busy collecting subs from people - as they are on the lookout for a football team in the Conference to go buy. These guys even offer a free tikcet to a game for the club they buy. The People's Club. Fantasy Football on Steroids. is where it's at.
