UK YouTube group Sidemen member and Twitch streamer Josh "Zerkaa" recently gave an interesting take on the group potentially buying a football club.
For context, a fan asked Josh if the Sidemen could buy Everton F.C., a club that is up for sale for a whopping price of over £500 million. In response, Jose stated:

Despite being extremely popular and having millions of pounds in their bank accounts, the members will be well short of the asking price of any of the clubs in the first two tiers (Premier League and the Championship) of English football.
When asked if they would buy Everton, Josh responded by stating that Millwall would be a more feasible target due to the location and also the price:
