In the next 12 months, the Premier League needs to bring greater fan influence and sanity to the game’s finances according to a scathing report from a British select committee.
According to The Guardian, “Unless there was ‘clear progress’ in 12 months on those measures, the government should legislate ‘as soon as practicable’, the committee says.”
Whether we’ll see any changes in the game in the next 12 months, we’ll have to wait and see. But I have a feeling that nothing really will change. The Premier League and FA will pretend to do a lot, but I’m not confident that many real changes will happen.
