Petition to change EFL governance

Oyston is the owner of Blackpool FC not the EFL - what legal right do they have to force him to sell? Presumably they could kick Blackpool out of their competition (not sure what grounds they would have for doing so) but not sure how that would help the supporters, and there would still be no reason for him to sell if he didn't want to.

This is NOT about Oyston per se, it is about getting accountability from the EFL to ensure there are no 'Oyston types' in the future AT ANY CLUB

We do want the govt to step in and kick the EFL/FA's arses to ensure the future of clubs and listen when they are being told by fans over and over again that there are serious concerns and issues within clubs
 
Mis ownership of football clubs
paedophilia in the game
footballers suffering dementia because of repeated heading the ball
Pep wears a yellow ribbon

which of these issues are the FA certain to act on?
 
A message to ALL football fans, regardless of which club you follow;

Blackpool Supporters Trust has recently created a government petition with the following aim;

The Government must introduce an independent regulator for English football. We urge the Government to introduce an independent regulator for English football, charged with ensuring the highest possible standards of governance for all clubs.

The troubles we have endured at Blackpool FC during the Oyston ownership are well documented and make unbelievable reading, which has culminated in the Oystons being made to pay Valeri Belokon over £30m.

Blackpool FC has become a by-word in the football community for mismanagement and crisis, and yet after a period several years, nothing has been done. The EFL shows no sign that it understands what its leadership role in this area should be, and as it clearly can’t - or won’t - rise to the challenge, then we feel that the Government must step in to lead the process of fundamental reform that is clearly needed.

Blackpool is not the only club in such circumstances. Other 'crisis' clubs include AFC Wimbledon, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Coventry City, Fulham, Leyton Orient, Leeds United.

Football clubs are too precious and too much a part of the fabric of our national life, to be left to the mercy of unregulated and often unscrupulous ownership. They need the protection of a robust regulatory framework that offers a range of sanctions against wrongdoers, mechanisms that allow problems to be confronted before they become deep-rooted and a governing body that has the desire to use it.

As football fans, I would ask that you join us in trying to bring about change within the game and hopefully prevent future owners from loading clubs with debt, asset stripping and running clubs into the ground.

We are all fans and we should stick together to ensure the clubs we love are owned and managed properly.

Signed mate, good luck to all, except Leeds the horrible set of ****s.

Exactly, not fit to run a fucking bath never mind the national sport.
 
Just to clarify,

I received a query from another football forum asking if I created the petition. The answer is no, it was created and is lead by Blackpool Supporters Trust.

I just want to help and spread the message to as many football fans as possible.

Thanks to all of you that have signed the petition thus far :-)
