Closed Introduce an independent regulator to oversee English football

Closed on

To introduce an independent regulator that licenses the owners of football clubs in England. All professional football clubs must be licensed in order to operate.
To have a charter that all license holders follow. To be able to remove license from those that don't follow the charter

Football clubs are more than just businesses, especially in this country. Once you have chosen or be given a club to support that is your club till death. And the only protection we have against being exploited is the hope that the people that purchase the club you support aren't parasites and put the club first.
The current governance don't have the power or conviction to be able to take on the largest clubs and the balance of power has been shifted from supporters.
