Labour’s Jo Stevens (another proper sports fan) was withering about it having taken 11 years for the Tories to act, and that it had taken the Super League threat for Dowden to trigger the Tory 2019 manifesto pledge of a review. Dowden even claimed the government would “do whatever it takes” to protect football fans’ interests, a line that may prompt scepticism from the self-employed and others who feel let down by similar promises on Covid. The new review by former sports minister Tracey Crouch (a genuine fan) will look at financing, governance and the creation of an independent regulator. The government would back the football authorities’ severe sanctions but he also put “everything on the table”, from tighter legislation on competition to clawing back Covid funding. In the Commons, culture secretary Oliver Dowden said that “as a Conservative” he felt his role was to defend institutions “under threat”. Yet the backlash has been so strong that it feels like a tipping point not just against those clubs’ reputations but also in the role politicians and governments are prepared to take to intervene. It may well be that this Super League idea is a mere tactic to getting a better deal from the Champions’ League. Hartlepool United had to apply for re-election 11 times in 28 seasons after finishing in the bottom four of the Fourth Division, but were successful every time. My own club Rochdale benefitted from a wily chairman’s ability to schmooze other League bosses to avoid oblivion. Fans too have gone along for the ride as big money and debt has piled up.Įven supporters of lower league clubs can recall the days when the Football League was itself a real closed shop until 1986, using a byzantine system of “re-election” for decades to keep out non-League clubs. UEFA and FIFA have overseen the money-grubbing commodification of football for years, and their record on corruption makes the International Olympics Committee look like paragons of virtue. It’s worth saying at this point that rich football club owners don’t have a monopoly on humbug and hypocrisy in this current row. And after more than a year of fans being locked out of their matches, they’re being locked out of their clubs’ future. Yet the Big Six clubs who want a breakaway now look more than ever like a financial elite than a sporting elite.
