Bring the 50+1 ownership rule to the United Kingdom.
The 50+1 rule will give fans back the control of their clubs, ensuring that they always have the final say in major decisions.
In the wake of Project Big Picture and the failed European Super League the government must hand control back to the people who truly care about their club and community.
For too long have parasite owners bled some of our greatest sporting institutions dry from the inside out, neglecting the community spirit that these clubs were founded in.
The 50+1 rule in Germany has helped keep ticket prices low and help keep fans from being milked for money, all the while without having so much as the smallest say in the operation of their club.
