It isn't an investment- it is a trust

Barcelona and Real Mdrid fans don;t make profit from their membership, just vote for the president.

They website has not made 400k yet

53,000 people registered their interest, all they had to do was send an email, they could at that point make a choie as to which club they would want to buy, and at this point many probably didn't read the T&C, that is why they made ridiculous choices such as Leeds, Arseal and ManU.

At this point they reckon only 8000 members have since paid.

There is no profit sharing beacuse any profit goes straight back to the club. The company that owns the website "My Football Club Limited" as opposed to "My football club society" ( a registered provident and industrial society). The website company recieves no profit from the club itself. Board members will be voted by MFC members.

Brandino, when you registered, who did you vote for?
