Petition Action

Implement the 50+1 Rule like they do in Germany regarding football ownership.

Petition Details

Help clubs implement this rule so clubs are not ruined by greedy Foreign owners who do not understand what it’s like to support football in this country. Allow fans to have a say.

Additional Information

The past few days with the ESL shows these owners do not care about the heritage we have built over the past 100 years - only the fans do. Implementing 50+1 gives the fans a bigger say, and will stop the tragedies of Bury and Macclesfield happening again.
