Ensure football fans hold majority stake in clubs
We want to make the 50+1 rule mandatory within the pro and semi pro leagues in England, which means at least 50% plus one share of a club must be owned by members' associations.
We believe this gives fans more control of the club and allows them to have more of a say than an outside investor(s)/ investment group.
We believe this will ensure that English football is fairer and has a better, more stable and sustainable structure of ownership for the future. We feel this will stop investors/ investment groups seeking profit over the needs of the club.
We think this form of ownership has been successful across European countries, such as Germany; which we think is a positive sign that it does work, and it works well.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
