Rejected petition Right and Proper Football Club Owner Checks.

More details

Many clubs in Britain (Premier League especially) are now subject to foreign investment and, while some prospective owners are well-intentioned, countless others are in it purely for the publicity and higher profile awareness for their business.
Cases include: Portsmouth F.C, Notthingham County, Liverpool F.C, Blackburn Rovers and many others.
While I admit Football isn't the be all and end all it does affect many things in the community. For example if a club goes into administration due to poor management then jobs are lost, fans money is lost on local businesses such as pubs etc.
Often a football club is the beating heart of a community, fans work hard all week so that they can afford the now extortianate price of a ticket and for what? To see their club run by people who could not care less and who have not got a clue what a massive responsibility owning a football club entails.
If you care about football at all then please add your signature, YOUR CLUB MAY BE NEXT!
