As a follower of the old MyFootballClub concept I was rather skeptical about this subreddit, especially when I noticed one of the teams on your radar was my team, Grimsby Town. Buying Grimsby would be foolish due to the demands of the fan base to be at least League 2, finances, NIMBYS ruining any potential new stadium (which is must needed)and an array of other reasons. But it also worries that the subreddit has no distinct clear goals and may be trying to overstretch itself. The two main worries in any venture like this are falling membership after the first year, especially if after you've bought that club they don't immediately buy wonder kids and do a Football Manager-esque launch up the tables and overextension, which includes buying a team which wouldn't be sustained. This includes a professional team. Surely it'd be better to buy someone semi-pro, and if after a few healthy years and a promotion or two the team needs to be professionalised that's the way to do it. It seems you need a clear plan (I know it's in the early days but if a plan was formulated I and possibly others would be interested in joining.) For example, if an English team was desired the following points could be used as a plan on who to buy: 1. Semi-Pro. 2. Step 6-8, not too far down to create tedium but not too high up to cause problems if money becomes hard to come by straight away. Potential being key. 3. Average attendances of 200-2000. What's the point if there's no fans to build on? Similarly too many straight away would be hard to manage. 4. Stadium size of 2500-7500. As above, obviously no need for building a new stadium is a must. 5. Stable finances. Nothing like buying a club and then realising there's a huge hole that can't be filled... Clubs that I personally think would be perfect would be a team with a solid fan base in Skrill Regionals or Regional Premier that follows the 5 points above. Obviously the mod(s) know what they're doing but what is the basis for the club suggestions? Is there at least reasoning behind saying 'let's buy Example 3 FC' or is it just based on what teams a few people support?
