Football’s vested interests circle their wagons over The Crouch Report - Football 365

Lines in the sand being drawn …

The Crouch Report is already being resisted by the Premier League, but their responses are only proving the need for independent regulation.



It didn’t take long before the wagons started to circle. The Crouch Report into the governance of football in this country – the ‘fan-led review’ which had been going on for more than a year – has only been published for a number of days, but already the Premier League has started its PR campaign in response. It will see the media saturated with appearances from extremely wealthy people who did not buy into football only to have some of the control of the vast amount of money flowing through it taken from their grasping mitts. This, we can be absolutely certain, will be matched by furious lobbying of MPs and government ministers to water down every single recommendation which might cost them any significant amount of money or power.
