It is now or never time
We need politicians to commit to change
THIS year could be momentous for our national game. It could be the year when football approves a range of measures that embed financial sustainability, good governance, equality standards and proper fan engagement.
It could be the year when football’s wealth is reallocated and given to clubs that are run well. It could be transformational for football clubs throughout the pyramid and dramatically improve the communities they operate in.
With the Fan-Led Review now complete, the power to deliver these aspirations now lies firmly with our politicians.
Far too often reviews have arrived with much fanfare only for them to gather dust in a shelf deep in the basement of the Houses of Parliament never to see the light of the day.
Tracey Crouch’s Fan-Led Review offers so much, but it needs the support of as many MPs as possible.
We need them to publicly commit to the Review. Ask them to make a written or verbal statement on record pledging to back the Review and vote to make it legislation when the time comes.
