[Football] New Football Charter

How about a tax on players who "engineer" a move to another club?

The player has to pay off the full term of the remaining contract from their wages.

The Sun (yes, I know) are claiming to have seen a leak of a white paper detailing the new football charter which is a result of the Tracey Crouch report.

In brief...

- Tax on clubs to fund a regulator
- Ban clubs from joining unapproved leagues and competitions (ie European Super League)
- More rigorous tests on club owners, including the source of wealth
- Corporate governance code to ensure financial stability
- Minimum standard of fan engagement on key decisions involving club heritage

The paper suggests all clubs in the top five divisions will need to gain a fresh licence to operate by the regulator.

In theory everything the FA should have being doing over the years but given their complete abdication of responsibilities I'm in support of the proposals.

That's the problem with having the same body responsible for marketing (and generating money for) football also being the governing body for football. They're always going to put the business of making money first before regulating the game.

How about a levy on football betting to help fund grassroots football?

Damn it. I thought the thread related to Seagulls charter specials being re-introduced, Stavros n all.
