checkSURE Choices, a new service that enables football fans to monitor the financial health of their favourite football clubs, has been launched by checkSURE, the online credit checking service.
The service is priced at £9.99 and allows you to monitor the financial health of all the football clubs in the Premiership, First, Second or Third division for a whole year. checkSURE Choices provide a simple, continuously updated indicator of a club's financial position so that, for the first time, it is possible to see how well a club is run and compare it to other clubs in the same division. The service provides the odds of each club running into severe financial distress within the coming 12 months. Since many fans are now shareholders this information has more than just curiosity value.
Neil Jones, Managing Director at checkSURE, commented: "Following the high-profile collapse of ITV Digital and the knock-on effects for many League clubs, fans are more interested than ever in the financial health of their favourite team rather than simply their performance on the pitch. checkSURE Choices enable dedicated fans to see what's really happening behind the scenes for the first time. The results certainly have been interesting reading! Perhaps if fans had been able to keep a close eye on their clubs' fortunes many wouldn't be in their current situation."
