Make every football club in England adopt a 50+1 ownership model.
We want for every football club owner to be forced to sell 51% of their shares in their to the respective Supporters Trusts for a fair price, and ensure that this structure remains in place indefinitely.
Recent plans for a breakaway European Super League have repulsed football fans worldwide.
From the top to the bottom of the football pyramid, the game has always been more than about money - bringing people together, supporting the grass roots and emerging talent, providing a sense of belonging that connects people. These are the things that make football so special. The European Super League is the antithesis of that.
Give the sport back to its rightful owners - the fans!
