How do you buy a football club?

Do you want to buy a football club? Or would you like to know how to buy one? As Adam Crafton from The Athletic explains, it’s not quite as straightforward as you might expect.

Paying in instalments. Selling players as part of the deal. The attraction of the league over the club. Due diligence.

Of the people that inquire about purchasing a club, how many actually go through with the deal?

I’d love to see you do a video on the Charlton Athletic shambles involving ESI this year. It fits nicely with the sale of clubs and the importance of the Fit and Proper test in the football league

I was JUST about to go out and buy an Association Football Club. Glad I watched this before making the necessary investments prior to transacting the purchase of an Association Football Club. I shall keep the aforementioned points as stated in mind.
This video saved me.

Could you please do a video on the career of Safet Sušić? One of Yugoslavia's & Bosnia's best talents that I feel doesn't get mentioned nearly enough amongst people who don't read much about French or Yugoslav football.
As Vahid Halilhodžić once said, "He’s the best player most of the world never saw.”

Instructions unclear. Ended up buying the Miami Heat. How to fix?

[heyokaikaggen]

I think the key question, well before you get around to, 'how do you buy a football club, ' is why do you want one? Because the answer to that question, and there are several, is going to determine a lot of what your strategy is going forward.
