Fair Game call to politicians: “Don’t let football’s future crumble”

THURSDAY 23 MAY 2024, LONDON, UK - Responding to the news the Football Governance Bill has fallen, Niall Couper, CEO of Fair Game, said:

“There is no doubt that football is broken.

“It is a shame that the Bill has fallen, but this now represents an opportunity to address the serious flaws that were in it.

“We need a Bill that tackle the growing financial inequality in the game, that ensures the regulator is truly independent, and rewards well-run clubs.

“It is now up to the next Government to pick up the mantle and deliver a fairer future for football.

“For the sake of fans and clubs up and down the country we call on all parties to make a firm commitment that a new Bill is brought forward in the first session of a next government.

“Football’s future cannot be allowed to crumble.”
