Ownership and Finances
The Club is incorporated as a Community Interest Company (social enterprise model with assets locked into the company). Having been selected by FivePoundFootballClub as the takeover target of their online investment community, the Kingfishers are currently awaiting for a total investment that will amount to the fan-owned group taking a 51% ownership of the club within 5 years from late 2011. The amateur club had been able to pay its expenses while making a modest profit before the takeover was announced.

Famous quotes containing the word ownership:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
