    FOOTIE CHARTER LEAKED Biggest shake up to football ownership in years leaked – what it means for your club
    Jack Elsom
    DODGY owners will be blocked from getting hold of our footie teams under a huge clean-up.

    A leaked Government paper seen by The Sun will mean multi-millionaires who cannot prove the source of their wealth won’t be able to complete takeovers.

    The new charter will see dodgy owners blocked from getting hold of our footie teams under a huge clean-up

    Chelsea fans helped sink European Superleague plans in 2021 and the new rules will help stop such schemes in the future.

    Yet, IMHO, the ‘super clubs’ need to go and play in a European Super League.

    Man City v Real Madrid, a much more attractive fixture than against Bournemouth etc.

    It’ll happen one day.

    Thought this was going to be an ad for laxatives…

    All very well but there are plenty of dodgy owners who can prove the source of their wealth and who still shouldn’t be allowed to own clubs. We still need to break the model of one rich bloke owning a club.

    And a second thought: having recently bought a house and had to jump through a bunch of hoops about proving where the money had come from etc., how is this rule not already in place? Surely it’s basic money laundering regs?

    Recently bought two cremations – (Hopefully not to be used all that soon.)
    Talk about ‘hoops’ – it took 6 weeks of pratting around to complete. Seems that I may be suspected of money laundering.
    How little they know about the state of my finances! Sigh.

    If you are anything like your avatar les, then a simple bone grinder would have sufficed, local gardeners round your way would have been delighted.
