Install football supporters as 51% major shareholders of their teams.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Bring in legislation that will ensure England’s football pyramid by implementing the supporters of their clubs as 51% major shareholder of each club by law, alike the German football league model.

This has to be done before our beautiful game is destroyed forever. We have seen a threat of a European super league being enforced without discussion or debate by billionaire owners that care very little about our history, or our leagues, or the grassroots. Enough is enough. We need a model alike to the German leagues, hence why no German teams were involved in this ridiculous attempt to destroy football as we know it!
