Calling all oil tycoons...My Football Club


We've not made a post about sport yet, so why not start with this story that has recently broken.

The premise is that 50,000 football fans all pay £35 each in order to raise enough to purchase a football club... No we've not heard anything like it either!

Creator Will Brooks hopes to make "fantasy football a reality" and we agree it certainly is revolutionary. Who hasn't wished they had the money to own their own football club?

Decisions such as team selection and who to buy and sell will be made by vote and who knows, this may bring some democracy back into the game after the West Ham fiasco.

There is no way of telling whether this will be a success, or how the fans of whichever club selected will react to being bought by 50,000 fans with no idea of how to run a club... It makes for an interesting 'watch this space.'

To sign up and register your vote for the club you need to go to the website, curently 6,000 people have in just a few days (myself included I should add.)
