What the petition asks
We petition HMG to legislate for the creation of an independent regulator for football and subsequently to oversee the implementation of such a body.
We assert that the finances and administration of football are in crisis, that self-regulation has failed and that, without a new independent body, there is a serious risk that clubs will begin to fold.
A year on from the government’s refusal of an independent regulator, the situation for clubs has deteriorated to the extent that we believe the decision needs review.
