Follow German football and enforce the 50+1 rule to all football clubs in the UK
Bring in legislation to enable the 50+1 rule, which means the fans get a much bigger say in what goes on at THIER club, which is how football should work.
The rule is designed to ensure that the club's members retain overall control, by way of owning 50% of shares, +1 share, protecting clubs from the influence of external investors.
These are community assets which need protection from greed and owners with no connection to the people or place in which these football clubs exist.
