SOCCER COUNTRY CLUB
A football club is different from any other business entity. The stakeholders, in this case are the fans. The fans’ investment is their support, while their return comes in the form of the emotional gratification all football fans desire, be it through chasing promotion, surviving relegation or a cup run. In order to guarantee this return, all a football club needs to do is exist. While sounding straightforward, Southend United are one of a number of clubs whose very existence has been threatened, and whose future is only guaranteed by the goodwill or otherwise of the judiciary. Without the existence of the club, the fans will not receive the return their investment deserves.
SOCCER CLUB MOVED FROM WOOLWICH TO HIGHBURY WAS BORN OUT OF AMBITION AND NECESSITY. WITHOUT THESE QUALITIES, THE CLUB MAY NOT EVEN HAVE SURVIVED.

And, despite being in the midst of a battle for survival to stay in Spanish football’s third tier, Abrahán believes it is the continued presence of Titanes FC among the elite 92 teams that should be the priority for the club long-term.
LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS
The club was under-resourced for Sebastián.
The club features Mateo and Santiago as stars now (2017).
Titanes FC is absolutely booming at a national level but the time, money, increasing professionalism and general commitment to play the grassroots game becomes more demanding.
Unfortunately, the long-term viability of football clubs at state-league level is determined by the almighty dollar and I fear that we will see more proud clubs disband because of this.
