Anyone heard about this?

Apparently a Portuguese company has set up a brokering system to allow 
people to invest in the actual transfer money of a player.

From what I can gather, 'shares' in the transfer involve investing a sum of 
money (?30 - ?70) in the transfer fee, raising funds to buy a player.
When that player is then sold on, the share value either increases or 
decreases depending on the resale value.

So basically if you invest a share of ?30 in a ?3M transfer, and then that 
player later gets sold for ?10M, you'd get ?100 back.

Seems like a good idea to me, what do you lot think?

*from the original email I recieved:

"RealPlayerManager.com is a new Web site that allows consumers to invest in 
professional soccer players, something that until now had been an exclusive 
hobby for multimillionaires.

Real Player Manager Ltd. is the name of the Portuguese internet company 
behind the new concept. In RPM consumers simply buy the transfer rights of 
players, that they find particularly talented, and offer them in smaller 
portions, so that it's affordable for everyone.
The prices vary between 30 and 70 euro and so far the company's first resale 
made the users a 300 per cent profit when the Portuguese centre back Antonio 
Fernando Alves was sold.

Real Player Manager cannot guarantee a profit, but should be viewed as a 
serious, entertaining and cheap alternative to sports betting, poker and 
stock trade. By mixing elements from the popular manager games with the real 
football world, it's the vision that football lovers across the world again 
will gain a real influence on the decision making process.
