The plans include:
� Requiring clubs to hand a stake of up to 25% to fans in recognition of their links with their local community.
� Implementing a change-of-control clause that would allow fans a window to put together a takeover of their club if it was up for sale or went into administration.
� Giving the football authorities a deadline to reform the FA and remove "vested interests" from the board, and streamline decision making.
� Introducing a unified system of governance that co-ordinates issues such as club ownership and youth development.
� Allowing professional leagues and the FA additional oversight of club takeovers. |
On the face of it, it seems like a good idea, but it might be hard to implement. I personally would prefer a combination of the German ownership model(50+1 rule) and the French audit rule (teams submit their books at end of season.
What do you think about Labour's plans? |

| I find it fascinating that the government would meddle in affairs like that. |

| The Labour Government, under the *leadership* of Gordon Brown, is nothing short of a joke. |

Doesn't FIFA have rules against this?
Just another area that the govt is creeping its tentacles into. Is it really surprising? |
