Football Governance - The Fan Lead Review

[Morepork]

Great interview on The Athletic with Tracey Crouch MP. Very passionate about preserving the game, grassroots, women’s game, fairer distribution of revenue etc, etc.

 

It was really encouraging to hear her say that football has had its chance at self regulation and failed. I’m paraphrasing but “The genie is out of the lamp, this review isn’t about if we regulate football it’s about how we regulate it.”

 

When asked if she felt the government was politicising the issue because its popular, she said I really don’t care if it helps me achieve my objectives. Seems genuine.

 

Recommend anyone take a listen.

 

Should be online or wherever you get your podcasts if you aren’t an Athletic subscriber.
