Christ how tough can it be for them to say you have to sell your stake in a club before being manager of another? How dodgy will any transfer between the clubs look in summer.

"According to Sky Sources, the only restriction to Scholes taking over as manager of Oldham is that he will not be allowed to sign players from, or sell to Salford City."

Made up hobby clubs with hypocritcal and ridiculous ways of operating.
Jesus wept man. Do you not know anything about FCUM?

FFS what a stupid post and waste of time.
If John McDermott owned 10% of Grimsby then got offered the managers job at Swindon would you be outraged and saying it should be stopped?
Of course not.
Boring post from a clueless person

They had major concerns with the way their club was ran, the debt the Glazers put the club into, and just the state of football at the top of the game. Fair enough. But imagine if disenfranchised supporters from other big clubs did the same and you had the upper non league full of FC United of Newcastle's and FC Villa of Aston's, potentially ending up in the football league- you wouldn't find that an absolute farce? They could have gone and supported any number of historic, established non-league Manchester-area clubs, but instead decided to set up their own self-indulgent vanity project, thereby taking promotion places from those aforementioned clubs. Nah. Though I support a lot of their beliefs, in principle, not the way to do it. I won't be sad if they fall away.

Clearly certain feelings run deeper than this thread... I would certainly not want Jolley to own a stake in another club, even in the league below (and let’s face it, Salford will be joining us very soon, with their £4K a week wages on 2.5k crowds).

Well...yeah, obviously. That’s the point. You’ve just changed the names and the teams, not sure why that would make a difference?

Good luck to him not, virtually no coaching and no management experience, would make me laugh to see them crash and burn to prove just because you earned a lot of money and played for England doesn't mean you will be a good manager but also fair do's he is starting at a fairly low level with a club he has a connection to.

If that happened I'd be happy overall. Be much happier with clubs run by ordinary people with community spirit and identity than the international brigade of plutocrats, sponsored by gambling companies and promoted by lying media organisations. I don't see it in anyway as a self-indulgent vanity project. There are plenty of ways to indulge yourself and boost your own ego, but putting in the effort and passion and intelligence to set-up and run a football club is not one of them. A lot of the other non-league clubs are bank-rolled by sugar daddies who have their own agendas, so I don't see why a bunch of community owned and run clubs would somehow turn things into a farce. As for going to support other local clubs, well that depends on how someone sees their identity. Those FCUM members obviously see themselves as Manchester United fans not Bury, or Rochdale, or (God forbid) Salford fans.
