Crowdsourcing does fantasy football
– with a real club.
Own the club,
pick the teamIT’S NOT A GAME
This is going to be interesting. There are almost enough people registered already, so if you want to own part of an English league football club you’d better hurry. The organised crowd of 50,000 fans will then seek to buy a club and run it, through some kind of mass democratic ownership scheme. No manager, no big shareholders, no chairman of the board. Just armchair decision making. The wisdom (or folly) of crowds gets a chance to prove itself in a competitive situation against the conventional setup of an experienced management having to deal with the vested interests. Exciting times!
50,000 MyFootballClub members are about to bid for an English football club. They will make history together, voting on team selection and on which players to buy and sell.

What a crap idea, I bet most of you are armchair premiership fans and football tourists!! What about the fans of the club you lot are about to screw over, MUPPETS!! I wonder what the Fulham fan who thought up this scheme would think if it was his club?
Sean please try and engage your brain in future before you open your mouth…I know it may take time but it will benefit everybody.
