The Future Of Football

on

Amongst the discussion around the European Super League, many people have been wondering about what the future of football looks like.

Regardless of what happens with European football at the highest level, many have been arguing that changes need to be made.

Is fan ownership the future?

Bury AFC were formed after the demise of Bury Football Club. A few months ago we spoke with someone involved at the club.

They say: "This club is ours and it's by the fans, for the fans."

FC United of Manchester are one of a number of clubs who have been arguing that 'beautiful game' needs to be democratised.

The 50+1 rule explained 

You can see  a detailed explanation of the 50+1 rule on the Bundesliga website. 

In essence, the rule means that clubs – and, by extension, the fans - hold a majority of their own voting rights. 

You will therefore see that private investors cannot take over clubs completely and begin to alienate a clubs core support.

The Bundesliga is also famed for its passionate fans and atmosphere.

This is partially due to many of the grounds retaining standing areas. Could you ever see standing areas/terracing like this appearing in English football grounds again. This video is worth a watch. 

What does the future hold for English football?

Ultimately, nobody can say for certain. There is certainly anger building towards owners of the 'big 6 clubs' even if they ultimately withdrew from the European Super League.
