Petition Action

Implement the 50+1 rule into English football

Petition Details

We want the government to step in and stop the owners of English football clubs having majority control.

Additional Information

The power needs to be given back to the fans, to stop the billionaires coming in and holding secret meetings to gain profit, these clubs were built by the poor, and these clubs belong to the fans. We want real change to stop anything like the super league happening again.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may be interested to know that on 19 April the Government announced a 'Fan-led review of football governance', which will explore ways of improving the governance, ownership and financial sustainability of clubs in English football, building on the strengths of the football pyramid.
