All 20 Premier League clubs have voted to introduce a new owners’ charter, according to The Mirror. It comes as the annual general meeting is being held, with a number of topics covered on how to improve the league in its current climate.
Thursday saw changes passed that continued a £30 price cap on away tickets as well as the suspension of Russia’s broadcasting rights following the invasion of Ukraine. The latest is the owners’ charter, first proposed following the Super League saga in 2021.
The charter outlines rules on equal votes amongst all 20 clubs, a fully open Premier League, an anti-discriminatory charter and a pledge based on sporting merit, meaning a club couldn’t qualify for Europe based on a coefficient or previous continental success. It is a move made to keep the “big six” clubs in check after last year’s Super League debacle.
