“Football is unique in the levels of interest, engagement and attention it engenders. It has many stakeholders: clubs, players, club employees, suppliers of merchandise, media, and above all supporters and local communities. But they do not all have the same levels of access and authority. Moreover, there is a disparity of power, influence and finance between big clubs and smaller clubs. We believe the balance needs to be redressed.”
Campbell Tickell is a multidisciplinary management consultancy, working across sports and other sectors on governance and strategy, regulation, business planning and organisational resilience. We are committed to promoting best practice in these areas, including transparency and accountability, probity, inclusion and community engagement. We strongly welcome the Fair Game initiative and are delighted to endorse it. Fair Game’s approach is very much in line with the general principles we have set out in our recent report on independent football regulation and how this could be made to work.
“SD Europe stands with and endorses the Fair Game initiative because we agree we need a football ecosystem built with fairness, openness and transparency at its core.
“Football in England and Wales desperately needs an independent regulator. For too long communities have had to sit by and watch as their clubs whither and die at the hands of bad governance.
“Like-minded football clubs who understand their responsibility to safeguard and reinforce the game must work together to deliver much needed change as a part of a wider all stakeholder approach to remedy the game.”
SD Europe’s mission is to increase supporter involvement in the running of football clubs and football institutions, and to promote solidarity across all levels of football. SD Europe represents grassroots and national supporters organisations in over 50 countries across Europe.
“Our football clubs are vital social and cultural institutions and Fair Game's efforts to protect them and the communities they represent is one we fully endorse.
“The current system does nothing to prevent deeply abusive governments from taking control of our clubs and financial mismanagement has been allowed to prosper to the detriment of clubs that remain committed to good governance.
“We hope many more clubs will join Fair Game to make these necessary reforms to the game a reality.”
FairSquare is a human rights research and advocacy group. It has a focus on preventing sporting institutions and competitions contributing to human rights harm. Its work has involved advocacy around Qatar 2022 as well as the involvement of Gulf states in football clubs.
“Football is at a power crossroads, which has been accelerated by the gross misjudgement of the European Super League and all those who believed in the idea. Fair Game has once-in-a-generation opportunity to challenge the elitism within football that has compromised the integrity of the sport and threatened to take it away from the communities it was built on. I’d encourage football clubs to join Fair Game with the blessing of their supporters’ trusts to safeguard the sport's future via a set of values that will enshrine football as a positive force in society for generations to come.”
