For those interested, the Web site, with plenty more details, has been up and running for a while at http://www.shareliverpoolfc.co.uk/

One final thought: Couldn’t Robbie Fowler just put up the money himself?

Deffo,5k is a sum of money that at least 100,000
people would be interested in . I would like to see rtk and the sons of shankly join in the debate and arrange a public meeting away from the ground and not on a match day , the manager and the team need us more than anything now its easy going to Barca,Istanbul,Athens and such places .Get behind the team !!!!!!!

I can guarantee that there will be more than
100 000 crazy Liverpool fans willing to ‘throw away’ £5,000. I’m one of them.

I do recognise the difficulties though and know that this is close to a utopian dream.

But what the heck… if you never try, you never know. Money is sitting in my bank waiting to be donated hehe

There is a lot of interest in Australia at the moment with Liverpool fans hoping to buy into the club.Judging from the reaction there will not be enough shares for the demand.

The idea is that a well run club generates enough money to fund transfers (they wouldn’t have to pay interest on debts, for example).
As Jan says, at 5,000 quid for a few privileges it’s really just a badge of honour (and a bit of charity?) for the club’s well-off fans around the world. Real benefits? Somewhat nil…

As has been raised elsewhere today, where would the money come from for future transfers?

The fans may be able to raise the goods to buy the club but then what? How many £5,000 contributions will be needed to raise the cash for another Torres style transfer bid?

Oh, I just read the FAQ, there’s no selling individual shares for a profit planned, so it really is all about paying 5000 pounds for a few privileges.

five grand. that’s barely a week’s salary for the shlonkiest players in the side, so it might help put a few things in perspective. the notion is certainly appealing, but the comparison with spanish clubs who also get bailed out by the state whenever the doo-doo hits the fan seems optimistic. but perhaps i am ill-informed.
