Another episode in our series focusing on unique projects and initiatives in football, Chase speaks with FC United of Manchester's George Baker. Baker was a founding member of FC United when the club formed in 2005, an action prompted by United fans' increasing disapproval of the historic Premier League club. Baker joins the podcast to discuss the process of founding a club, and explores the impressive development of the club as it balances success on the pitch with a commitment to its fans and a supporter-based ownership structure. Listen in to learn how FC United began as a protest club and emerged as a competitive force in non-league football, serving as the epitome of a football club preserving the environment football fans crave.
