Louis Tomlinson Loses His Bid To Buy His Hometown Soccer Team: ‘I’m Absolutely Gutted!'

As the Rolling Stones once sang, you can’t always get what you want.
And Louis Tomlinson is learning that the hard way today!
The One Direction member had made a bid to buy the Doncaster Rovers Football Club, whom he played for on their reserve team back in February. He even organized a crowdfunding campaign to help him come up with the cash to purchase the squad!
Louis was offering fans a selfie of himself for 250 pounds and a 10-minute meet-and-greet for £12,000!
Even with those high prices though, Tomlinson couldn’t come up with the 2 million he needed! Which means his attempt to take over the team has been axed!
Louis got on Twitter to tell his followers the bad news. He tweeted:

I'm absolutely gutted the Doncaster Rovers deal is not going ahead. I am desperate for the club to be given the recognition it deserves 🙁

I was explicitly told that the deal to buy the club was not dependent on the money raised by Crowdfunding . Unfortunately I was misled.

My passion for Doncaster Rovers remains as strong as ever, and I hope that I can still be involved with the club moving forward!

And to all the Doncaster Rovers fans , I will do all in my power to help the club succeed. I really do love the club !

Hmm. It sounds like because his crowdfunding campaign failed, he’s not being allowed to buy his beloved team!
But Louis himself is supposedly worth around £14million! So why not shell out some shillings and buy the team yourself?
We’re sorry you couldn’t buy your favorite club, Louis. But chin up! There’s more to life than owning a sports team!
