Also, it seems like the goal is to get 500 mil from 100,000 I am sure that many of the richer investors will be able to afford a LOT more than 5,000 pounds. So either you get some of the richer owners to invest more and buy more shares or you find more new investors, not that difficult. The only tricky thing is to figure out where you cap how much one person could own of the club, somewhere between 2-5 % I hope. When you create more shares to sell then the current owners shares are now a lower percentage and the richer people would be able to reinvest again.
no.
the way it is set out is not to give any investor more power than the next investor.
each investor can only have one share.
Yes but members elected to the board to run the club can invest personal monies into the club. That's how it works in Barca and madrid.
so again the members with the most money will have more power, can you see a membe that outs 10 mil into the club not being given a place on the board??
They have to be voted on to the board democratically first . For arguements sake , if two members are running for president ,one pomises to invest £10 million and one promises to invest £15 million ,it's a good chance the second person will get voted in . If hoever he doesn;t deliver on his promises there's a good chance he'll get voted out come the next election.
EXACLY my mate works for a spanish team and is also a shareholder ive asked her alot of info regarding this and it was them who advised me that if the option came up go for it, They have a say who runs there club and how it is run, If its not to the fans liking out they go. You only have to look at some of the most succssesful clubs in Europe to see that it does work
