No wind up - approximately £250,000 was raised in the first 24 hours and some estimate put the total at the moment in the region of £750,000. MFC already has enough to buy a club and apparently four clubs (2 from League 2 and 2 from the Conference) have approached MFC for negotiations.

only time will tell if they were real football fans as they are trying to say they are why dont they just go and watch their own local team and get more involved with their own clubs smells a bit fishy to me

The idea behind MFC is to give fottball fans some control over their sport. At the moment very few football teams are controlled by fans - and those that are suffer financially. MFC is attempting to bridge the gap. In effect it is a very large supporters trust that will have the finance to buy and run a club.
