Liverpool are the most sustainably run Premier League club while crisis-hit Everton scored joint-highest for fan engagement, according to Fair Game’s Sustainability Index.
Fair Game – an independent collective of clubs, think-tank leaders and academics – has analysed factors such as fan engagement, financial management and equality standards to rank clubs in England’s top two divisions. The analysis saw Liverpool lead the way in the top flight ahead of Everton and Southampton, with Norwich coming out on top in the Championship.
The Reds scored particularly highly on equality – measured by factors such as gender ratio at boardroom level and recruitment of women and ethnic minority candidates to leadership roles – and governance, which looked at issues like transparency and rates of pay for non-football staff.
