Fans owning shares in their club is a fantastic idea. Being a Liverpool fan, I’d love to put my money where my mouth is. But the expected £5,000 contribution per person is a wee bit steep. What cash-strapped fans could possibly do is find a few other fan friends and pool their cash together to get the club away from the current American owners.

I’m hoping this initiative works out. If you want to stay in the loop, sign up at the Share Liverpool FC website.
