Boris Johnson says investigation into football governance WILL go ahead despite Super League collapse
BORIS Johnson insisted today that an investigation into football governance WILL still go ahead – despite the collapse of the European Super League last night.
Ex-sports minister Tracey Crouch will do a “root and branch” prove into how footie is rules and how fans can best be represented, the PM vowed this lunchtime.
The PM said today he was it was essential that the investigation continues – after all six English clubs pulled out last night – killing the project before it could really begin.
He said at PMQs this lunchtime: “And it’s entirely right that (former sports minister Tracey Crouch) will do a root and branch investigation into the governance of football and into what we can do to promote the role of fans in that governance.”
Bashing the proposed new super project, which was slammed by politicians and fans alike, he added: “I think that one of the most worrying features about the European Super League proposals is that they would have taken clubs that take their names from great, famous British towns and cities, English towns and cities, and turned them just into global brands with no relation to the fans, to the communities that gave them life and that give them the most love and support.”
