"The greed of the team owners will still ruin the Premier League" | Israel today

Yesterday's headlines in the Premier League were captured by the debate over the fair use of VAR, after Arsenal players complained that referees were not required of him properly.

"It hurts the game," the Gunners said, but there are already some who have shifted the fire towards greater dangers for him regarding the future of the Premier League.

In a scathing column in the Daily Mail, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned that the conduct of the world's richest football league team owners could lead to a fatal fall, due to a lack of objective supervision within the clubs.

"The greed of the team owners will still ruin the Premier League," said Brown, who sat in Downing 10 between 2007 and 2010 and has since maintained indirect contact with British football.

He accuses the owners and league leaders of opposing a reform that would ensure the preservation of the whims of wealthy teams, which would allow club funds to accumulate high debts.

"The Premier League's irresponsible opposition to considerate reform, which for a change will put the fans' quiet before the greed of billionaire team owners, is another reason why it's time to force change on them," Brown wrote.

Also takes care of the little clubs,

"The possibility of the owner's greedy escape from responsibility must be avoided by independent supervision within the clubs, which will avoid the danger of further destroying the league and all that is good in this game," Brown added.

Brown wants, among other things, that those independent supervisors be allowed to join the group, as mentioned on behalf of the fans, to avoid the bloated debts, the possibility that owners will get up and leave one day without warning and no financial guarantees for the group's existence, and the possibility to change the name The group.

Brown, a former Labor leader, clarified: "This move has cross-party support, as all politicians over the years have recognized the lack of protection on the part of football leaders, who have promised to reform themselves and have failed."

He also wrote: "Even the small clubs must not be neglected or starved, it is time for an end to the greed that sabotages football."

Nadine Driss, the British Minister of Culture, strengthened Brown and claimed: "The government accepts in principle the proposal for reform and expects to pass a law on the subject."
