Football must reform or face government intervention (1 Viewer)

Some interesting stuff in today's Parliamentary Committee report about how as financial interests take hold of football, the game is becoming remote from the communities where clubs originated and the involvement of fans is essential for the future vitality of the game.

He was never Minister for Sport was he?

Couldn't really be helped him being moved if he was as Labour lost the last election.

Football just reflects business and institutional finance in general, everything founded on huge borrowings and debt...................look at the yanks, the whole fucking shebang is completely insolvent.

interestingly FIFA do not let governments interfere with football - the penalty is expulsion from FIFA competition ie the World Cup

for that reason this will not go any further

Sorry, but that is plain wrong. Football does not want governments interfering which is why, with the threat of legislation, they try and get their house in order.
Where do you think the thinking behind the Financial Fair Play Scheme came from? Certainly not from within football.
