12 QUOTES on News About Football: Talking about the Independent Regulator News in English Football
We will be willing participants who will listen and contribute, and hopefully we’ll come up with the right formula.
“I don’t think an independent regulator is required, but that’s not to say that we won’t fully co-operate with Tracey Crouch’s review.
“Clearly we’ve had some problems over the last 18 months but so has every industry sector.
“I would defend the Premier League’s role as regulator of its clubs over the last 30 years.
I don’t think we should be averse to change in the regulatory environment around football but I don’t think that an independent regulator is the answer to the question.
A fan-led review has been announced by the government. I urge you, if you hated me as a player, if you dislike me as a pundit, just to listen to me this one time and sign this petition which will bring independent regulation and transparency at the top of the game we all love.
“There is one big opportunity now in this next few months to influence the outcome of English football and create a fairer game for all.
We welcome the fan-led Government review of the game and hope it leads to lasting change on an array of important concerns; including co-ordinated strategies to deal with racism, supporters’ representation within clubs, LGBTQ issues, ticket costs and the distribution of income. All of those aims can be realised if we take decisive action now.”
Now we must make sure this never happens again. Without swift and direct intervention, the return of a European Super League will be a constant threat.
Supporters came together with one voice to oppose the cynical power-grab by a group of wealthy owners. The furious protests were heard and the breakaway fell apart.
It was a direct threat to the integrity of the game; destroying the concept of sporting merit and open competition.
As football fans, we were appalled by the attempt to set up a European Super League
