Government intervention in the governance of football by the EFL

Petition Details

The EFL is out of control: Bury, Bolton, Macclesfield, PPG & now Wigan just to name a few. The current governance of the sport is a fiasco, and it’s only time before other clubs are failed by the EFL. Football needs external help if it is to survive the EFL’s disastrous administration.

Additional Information

Many clubs have already been damaged irreparably by the EFL’s bizarre decision making. Tranmere were arbitrarily demoted & suffered multi-million £ losses. Bury were expelled entirely from the league. Other clubs unfairly benefitted from getting a promotion or extra funding to compete in play offs. Now Wigan are in administration & face a bleak future. This maladministration at the top of the game cannot be allowed to continue or else the the world’s oldest league could be permanently destroyed.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you want Government intervention in football, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
