University Research for Dissertation Purpose - About foreign ownership of English Football Club.

Featured Replies

Hello. I have four questions and would like the thoughts of fans about it. Hopefully, that some of you will provide their opinions to all four questions or at least one of them. Thank you.

1 - What do you think about the foreign ownership of English football clubs?

2 - What are your thoughts about the European Super League and the club’s owners involvement in it?

3 - Do you think the Profit and Sustainability rule and the Financial Fair Play rule came into play due to the increase in foreign ownership of clubs and why?

4 - What are your views on the ’50 + 1’ rule and should it be implemented in England?

Below is a google form link where you can share your opinions in case you do not want other people to view your opinions. Please do not hesitate to contribute.

Thank you.

1 - What do you think about the foreign ownership of English football clubs?

 I don’t necessarily have a problem with it as anyone not English is “foreign” and there have been good non-English owners of clubs over the years

2 - What are your thoughts about the European Super League and the club’s owners involvement in it?

It’s all about greed and the fans don’t count in the Super League. I would be against it personally 

3 - Do you think the Profit and Sustainability rule and the Financial Fair Play rule came into play due to the increase in foreign ownership of clubs and why?

No definitely not. It came about because the traditional “big clubs” don’t want to share the pot with new gatecrashers. I think a sugar daddy should be allowed so long as they lodge the money in the clubs account to cover all costs in advance. Therefore not being able to ruin a club like Bury for example 

4 - What are your views on the ’50 + 1’ rule and should it be implemented in England?

I like the way Boro are run at the moment but can see the merits in the 50+1 rule
