Something that currently isn't in the game but perhaps should be?


Recommended Posts

A lot of time with football clubs takeovers are few and far between. We do occassionally see high profile buyouts of clubs but far more often we see outside investers stumping up some cash to join the current board. I think this certainly has the potential at lower levels, and could act as a progressive mark towards a takeover. A single group owned club could then become a consortium before one day becoming under a single group again. It also provides a basis for dynamics in the future whereby problems further up the hierarchy restrict clubs financially in some regards (ie some partners of a consortium not willing to invest, whilst others want to invest). It seems to make more of a natural transition for clubs though, I don't mean in Arsenal way where a billionaire buying 1 share is big news but at lower levels your board seeking outside investment and securing £100k through some backers could really make a difference. The chairman wouldn't be likely to move on, but you would then see a couple more people added to the backroom staff.
