The Government has announced "formal support" for 10 key recommendations to change English football proposed by a fan-led review that promises a major shake-up of the game in this country.
Tracey Crouch MP has worked with supporter groups to lay out a blueprint for the future of the game, including a focus on sustainability, distribution of wealth and a bid to stop rogue owners. The project followed an outcry over an attempted breakaway European Super League, demise of professional clubs Bury and Macclesfield Town and major struggles of others including Bolton Wanderers and, most recently, Derby County, who have been in administration since September.
The Government will now set out its full response on Monday afternoon following a statement to the House of Commons by Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston. It will mean substantial change in the background to the operation of all clubs including Nottingham Forest.
