Birmingham and Swansea are examples where celebrity names were on board. Tom Brady of the NFL in Birmingham's case and in Swansea's case bringing in Luka Modric, Calvin Broadus and most recently Martha Stewart. Then there's people who are fans like Sheeran at Ipswich. Maybe Dr Who would contribute if a consortium wanted any widely known supporters to get on board with a bid.

Of course one problem with consortiums or overrated fan ownership (and I certainly can't see that happening in Blackburn) is the potential of civil war. Of course minority ownership hardly means significant control. 

 

Interestingly, our own celebrity timelord didn't actually know the correct year for our Premier League title, when on 5-Live a couple of years back!

Anyway, celebrity culture is a kind of...well.. laxative!

Not sure that figure is anywhere near realistic. Birmingham went for £22 million, Wednesday are currently looking for £20 million but it could be less. Swansea were sold for £100 million when they were in the Prem and sold again recently for an undisclosed amount 'vastly below' that initial investment according to most reports.

Sale, running costs etc.
