Having been disenfranchised by the running of TFC by MLSE for quite awhile I have been mulling over this idea of if it is possible to have a supporter owned team in this city. Given the size of Toronto and the number of die-hard sports/soccer fans, who I think would jump at a chance to be a part owner of a team, I would think it would be possible to have 50k people pay $100-200 each for such an endeavor. I would then think that $5-10 mil would maybe be enough to put a team into the CSL. If this was successful, the team could then move up to the NASL and eventually challenge TFC for the top club in the city.
I am not proposing to stop being a TFC fan but more so to become apart of something incredible in this city.
I would love to hear your opinions on such an idea, and whether or not it would even be feasible.
