Rejected petition Ken Bates to be Fully Investigated into his Dealings Concerning Football

More details

For too long has Ken Bates taken hard earned money off fans of football and sheltered it in off shore tax heavans.
Its time to bring the opinions of the people who count most to attention. Ken Bates has taken millions of pounds of player sales and transfered them to loss making organisations and costly infastructure with years to make back any sort of return against the wishes of the fans.
Latest reports show that a return to administration is on the cards which will cause a further loss to both the taxpayer and local businesses.

I call on the government to fully investigate Ken Bates and other football owners and to introduce better regulations regarding football owners to prevent more administrations and liquidations like we have seen at Portsmouth and Rangers in recent months at the expense of the average fan.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a matter for the FA and the Football League.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
