Power to the People!
Ebbsfleet United F.C., according to a recent report I saw on TV has now had the distinction of being the only club that has been taken over by the people, literally!
A-not-so-princely sum of 35 pounds was shelled out by each member of the website myfootballclub, and when 50,000 people put through such a sum of money, it does add up to a sum sizeable enough to buy a football club that plays in the lower echelons of the football divisions.
After 700,000 pounds worth of a transaction, it should be interesting as to how so many owners of different nationalities would come to a common consensus on issues pertaining to the club, such as player transfers as well as appointments to positions of authority.
Should be good fun to watch!
