Bring the 50+1 Rule to the Premier League & EFL
Bring the 50+1 Rule to the Premier League & EFL
Why this petition matters
Seeing what the “Super League” has done to the football community shows that change is needed and it’s needed NOW! We should follow in the footsteps of German clubs (Not RB Leipzig) and enforce the 50+1 rule to the club.
What does this mean?
It means the fans get a much bigger say in what goes on at THIER club, which is how football should work as FOOTBALL IS NOTHING WITHOUT FANS.
The 50+1 rule is an informal term used to refer to a clause in the regulations of the Deutsche Fußball-Liga (German Football League). The clause states that, in order to obtain a license to compete in the Bundesliga, a club must hold a majority of its own voting rights. The rule is designed to ensure that the club's members retain overall control, by way of owning 50% of shares, +1 share, protecting clubs from the influence of external investors.
