You'd be doing what FCUM did, starting your own because you where disillusioned with the game. Or picking because of history or because they were most in need.

(1) if we were to start a club the question I would have is where? No matter where MFC went it would be stepping on someone's toes.
(2) I would like to see MFC picking a club with history and tradition and that was in serious trouble (i.e would fold without MFC intervention) but even with the 'potential' finance MFC could bring, many clubs are in too big trouble for MFC to help.
For the MFC takeover team to purchase a club - it needs to have a debt that we can manage and stabilise - it needs to have potential, either for growth or a return to it's former position (having dropped because of various difficulties) - it needs to own or have access to a ground that isn't owned by an individual who will crank up the rent - and it needs to be a club where MFC can have an impact and demonstrate that football fans can run a club, involve a community and not need the billionaires to make progress.

You talk very well & argue your case with passion BUT you really do not understand the impact you will have on a League Clubs current regime

The members of MFC know exactly the impact we can have, not just on a club, but on football as a whole. If MFC is successful it has the potential to grow and develop a football club with the fans as the 'heart and soul' of the club - not the men with money - and to place football supporters at the forefront of the game of football for the first time in one hundred years. And this is what I want to see happening. Football is a game for fans - and fans should run their game. As I said before - time will tell if it works - but if it does then every fan in the country (if not the world) will be better because of it.
