Scottish Labour: Football belongs to the fans — not to a cartel of billionaires at the top

SCOTTISH Labour are backing fan ownership in Scotland as well as reforming football as the continued fight against the European Super League ramps up.

The heavily scrutinised ESL would see 12 clubs “compete” in a league with no relegation. A further three clubs will form the core group while five additional clubs would then be invited on an annual basis to participate in a 20-team competition.

Six English Premier League teams have signed up to take part, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
