For more than once the strength of the supporters club has been questioned, but in times of financial difficulties, or administrative, those who follow the everyday activities of his club may be the ultimate solution for your salvation. The union of the followers of a particular club, driven by financial goals, usually arises from dissatisfaction over the fate of the club is taking, particularly in terms of management and administration.

Although this phenomenon is new in football, the financial crisis has been the source of new associations and supporters, mindful of the development and management of their clubs. In recent years, mainly in England emerged organizations and associations of followers, through funds that seek to restore financial stability to their clubs lost. The earliest rise even other clubs, but the latest have an active and interventionist, requiring drastic administrative measures and asserting itself even with management alternatives.

Liverpool FC

For more than a year that discussed the financial viability of Liverpool. Following the takeover of the club by two millionaires Americans, the constant rumors that the club was bankrupt and ultimately increase the outrageous ticket prices, the dissatisfaction of the Liverpool fans led to the creation of a fund called " ShareLiverpoolFC " that through more than 50,000 fans, aim to join the capital needed to purchase the shares held by the two entrepreneurs.

Manchester United FC

Manchester United while being a successful sports club and financially, can not escape the dissatisfaction of their supporters and in response to the acquisition of the club by the family Grazer, the United fans were the first to create a fund with the intention of the club reaquirir the American family. The " Manchester United Supporters Trust "with its more than 30,000 members, is the solution of the supporters club to the acquisition by foreigners .

These two examples show that the fans own the game and although this fact is often forgotten by new wave of managers. You have to remember that football exists only by the fans and for fans, something that has been overlooked by major administrators of the World and European football.

    Indeed, without a doubt, "You have to remember that football exists only by the fans and for fans, something that has been overlooked by major administrators of the World and European football."

    However, let us not forget that in contrast with the fact that the power of a club to be "taken over" by a stranger, there is the reality of the cash injection which the club has benefited, as well as increased expectations to date, the club might not have.

    An example of this the same Chelsea FC, middle England, with a few titles until the appearance of its President. Incidentally, I have doubts about the possible establishment of a fund to buy the shares that the President holds.

    Different case is that of Manchester United and Liverpool, English and European big clubs where fans feel "violated" because they see their property being taken by foreigners. Clubs also have a history, culture and recent history somewhat different from other clubs.

    As a fan I am, I can not but be apprehensive if a natural or legal person could get direct entry to the administration of my club. However, there are pros and cons, like everything in life. A negative and positive side.

    This is to assist these aspects and examine whether or not it will be beneficial for the clubs, and on the financial aspect, we can not be naive and think that there will be a breath of fresh air ...
