Offer accepted ...

The results are in - 82.3% of 7,452 members who voted said Ebbsfleet United should accept the offer for John Akinde.

The club will now go ahead and carry out the supporters' wishes by transferring Akinde to English Championship side Bristol City for about $248,000.

Our chairman John Moules said the decision was the "feather in the cap" for the MyFootballClub concept.

"This shows again the responsibility of the 30,000 owners," he said.

Will we sell striker today?

Forget the long running transfer sagas of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Barry. Today sees the biggest transfer news of the season.

By 2p.m. EST, I will have decided along with 30,000 of my fellow Ebbsfleet United members whether our club should transfer one of our players.

And it will be the first time ever that such a decision will be made via thousands of supporters voting on the internet.

We have to decide whether our club, which plays in England's Blue Square Premier League and won the FA Trophy in May, should accept a £140,000 offer from an unnamed club for stiker John Akinde.

As members of MyFootballClub, we paid £35 ($71.35 at the time) to provide a £700,000 takeover pot, take control of The Fleet,and receive an equal share in the club.

Since then members -- from 122 countries acorss the globe -- have voted on a number of major decisions affecting the club, including the price of season-tickets to watch Ebbsfleet, but this is the first time a transfer will be decided by us.

We basically have had 48 hours to decide whether we should sell the highly rated 19-year-old striker, who has played fewer than 20 games for Ebbsfleet.

He has already been watched by Chelsea scouts and we have already turned down an offer for Akinde from League One side Peterborough.

Our coach Liam Daish and our board has recommended the striker should be sold to allow him to play at a higher level.

Players who have recently turned professional like Akinde are unlikely to be earning more than £200 ($367.12) a week.

To see how we decide, stay tuned!

Super Strikers!

Southern Indiana United's U12 Strikers landed a big catch by winning the recent Pike Fest Tournament in Indianapolis.

In its first game, it beat Dynamo FC Black 1-0 with a goal from Kyle Hercamp and an assist from Zach Yagle. It then tied 2-2 with Henry Co Dynamite with goals by Jacob Hedrick and Nick Davis.

A late winner from Parker Davidenkoff against Center Grove Clash ensured Paul Duckworth's charges a championship game against Fusion Navy.

Nick Davis scored two goals in the first 10 minutes to get Strikers off to a flyer. A third was added before the end of the first half when Alex Duckworth fired home a penalty after a Fusion player had hand balled in the box and was duly sent off.

The second half saw Fusion come back, but a Jacob Hedrick goal secured a 4-2 win for SIU.

Pike Fest 2008 was Pike Youth Soccer Club's 13th annual soccer travel tournament for teams in the U9 to U14 boys' and girls' categories. Games were played at Pike's facility, the Mary and John Geisse Soccer Complex, Eagle Creek.
