Please put all football clubs back into the hands of fans like in Germany 51+1.
I would like the government to put all football clubs back into the hands of fans like they have in Germany with 51% ownership belongs to the fans which stops owners putting clubs into huge debt, taking dividends and trying to break away into a super league.
Our football clubs like Manchester United are dominated by owners who run football clubs on debt and take massive amounts of dividends out of the club but still the debt is rising with next to nothing paid off in the 15 years they have been in charge. They don’t come to games, they don’t improve the facilities. They have tried to break away into a super league at the expense of everyone but themselves to take away our beautiful game from its fans and what is to stop them trying this again?
