An independent investigation into the Premier League and the Newcastle takeover.
After 16 weeks of waiting, potential investors pulled out of a deal that would see major investments into Newcastle United Football Club and consequently would have had a huge impact on the North East economy. The deal was cancelled due to the Premier Leagues non-decision which requires answers.
We want the HM Government to hold an investigation into corruption within the English Premier League.
We want the Premier League to provide clear and compelling evidence as to why a decision was not made, thus denying our region the required funding.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept petitions about things the Government is not responsible for. This sale is a matter for the parties concerned, and for the Premier League to assess under its Owners’ and Directors’ Test, and is therefore not a matter for the Government or the House of Commons.
You could start a petition calling on the Government to establish an independent inquiry into potential corruption in English football, if that's what you want to happen.
