This is an abomination. Everyone knows that owning sporting teams is the purview of rich assholes, not the fans. Besides now every fan buying a share will have to pass the "fit and proper persons" test administered by the FA, which will distract them from the important job of further fucking up the Wembly situation and making excuses for England fans booing Wayne Rooney.
