Rejected petition Footballers Excessive Wages

More details

I call on the government to hold an inquiry into excessive wages in football. With the news of Wayne Rooney being paid up to £300,000 per week, I think it's time the government stepped in to change the way football is run. Please sign the petition to try and make football more accountable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

For the football authorities to decide only, though the Government does monitor football governance.

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