Brisk Start For Webuyanyfootballclub.com
FINANCE giants the You Corporation have reported brisk trading at a new business offering guaranteed cash in exchange for unwanted football teams.
A You Corp spokesman said: "Simply visit the website, type in the name of your club, the last time you won anything - not including the Carling Cup, obviously - and any outstanding finance, and we'll give you an instant valuation.
"You can then take your club to one of our regional collection centres - we're the guy with the golf umbrella round the back of the lock-ups - and we'll either give you a postal order or a small bag of five pence pieces."
But consumer rights watchdog, Nathan Muir, said: "Football club owners should beware of unscrupulous dealers buying their club for pennies, then selling off the parts at inflated prices.
"One chairman was told his squad was about as much use as a pig on stilts, only to find his centre-back had later been sold to Manchester City for £38m."
He added: "If you do need quick cash for your football club then the best thing, as always, is to tip it into a disused quarry and then claim the insurance."
Mr Al-Faraj, from Portsmouth, said: "Player's wages, grounds maintenance, I was struggling to make ends meet. But WeBuyAnyFootball.Com gave me a postal order for £22.50 and a free felt-tip pen.
"I am now going to trade in the pen and use the money to buy Notts County."
