An article on co-operative ownership of football clubs in the League of Ireland.
Might be of interest to some in this group.
It looks at the success of co-operative ownership in Irish professional football and the threat of new investment to the model.
Can it work? Would you want to own your club?
Will big money kill off community ownership in League of Ireland? (rte.ie)
Exeters City are probably the best example. Biased as it’s my local club, but they have gone from strength to strength after becoming fan owned. It can be done if it’s done right. But I’m not sure it’ll be able to happen in the premier league. Way too much money involved.
