Political opportunism aside and given that I haven't read any detail, a plan that facilitates access for fans to buy all/some of their clubs seems to me to be a move in the right direction.

It talks about fans having a minority stake. So long as some wealthy owner comes along and buys the majority stake he can do what he likes anyway.

There's a much better and more detailed report on the Guardian site, one that says more than the BBC report that basically has a quick quote from their sports editor and a predictable response from one of Dave Snooty's pals.

Red_Mat Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 To be fair to the government, at least they're proposing at least some kind of action, albeit 20 years too late. To say the horse has bolted is an understatement; he's bolted, run the race, come last and been left to die a long, slow death in the paddock with a broken leg. That's how ****ed football is right now. Sadly, we've already lost an CEO who was actually trying to do something about the crooked, corrupt, decrepid institution about the FA which is currently run by people like Dave Richards, also on the Premier League committee and a football chairman. So, no conflict of interest there, then. Football needs complete reformation, and we need government help to get this going. These proposals are like the first step on a marathon of marathons...

Flaxbourton Red Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 to be fair to Gordon Brown he does love football he even lost sight in one eye playing football (albeit the rugby union rather than the association code) and was also a programme seller at Raith Rovers.

Sort of topic related but just watched Viera for Man City tonight, had a shocker and he picks up, allegedly, £150,000.00 per week. How can that be right ?

"Dave" strikes me as more of an English rugger bugger type alongside Will, Justin and Toby myself, and any party with Liam Fox in it shouldn't get any City fans' vote...........

mindjuicer Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thatcher and her I D cards Problem is, the Tories realised ID cards are unworkable and have pledged to scrap them. Labour still want them, and anyone who has paid an arm and a leg for a passport recently is subsidising their introduction. It seems to me that power corrupts and that supporters' clubs are just as likely to be run by jumped-up Nazis who have no idea how to run things.. as our country currently is. Clearly some reform would be welcome (financial regulations, shakeup at the FA) but this fan-ownership plan looks as badly thought out as ID cards.

I think he was referring to the FOOTBALL ID cards suggested many years ago to stamp out hooliganism, not the more recent effort prompted by terrorism/our fascist government. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/may/18/seven-deadly-sins-thatcher-tories-football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you're somehow expecting football grounds to be the one place where ID cards won't be required, Labour's version is about 100x worse, being backed by a database designed to keep track of us & our data. I voted LibDem in 2005 and they're far less corrupt/more idealistic than the other 2 parties. If I bother to vote this year, I'll have a good look at their candidate this time round.
