football meet at c united of manchester's youth academy award that training for a club doing things differently. if the united at both owned and run by the fans. were just ordinary people. who actually love focal i've got a passion for football it's not a business all of the money's made goes back into the football club back into the community. in order that we can try and you know climb the leaks. and continue to make a statement as to there's a different way let's see united was set off in 2005 in protest against the takeover of premier league club manchester united by an american billionaire they're now seeing a surge of interest upping their membership by roughly 20 percent over the last week alone it's driven in large part by the actions of 2 clubs just a few miles away manchester united and manchester city are among 6 english clubs
10:19 am
who last week signed up to a new european super league which abruptly collapsed on to outrage from fans so many it's a watershed moment. terrible idea just the money grabbing it's on by billionaires who know nothing of the game don't care for the fans don't care about grassroots football in the u.k. demise is pretty nice to be out of and is pretty terrible but falls along kind of. excessive incremental. vulture capitalism this place become a business today's arness for a long. so it's not trying to do in terms of football the sport but we just never know when subsaharan is where you know they haven't got the clubs at best it's all about the money for. the super league debacle has supercharged schools for change here with everything from the ownership structure of clubs like manchester united to regulation now being publicly debated and many are looking to germany as a model there's a growing chorus of voices calling for english football to emulate germany's 50
10:20 am
plus one model that would give founds the majority voting right giving them the final say is now transcending football and getting political traction thank you so much that not everyone can unite behind at the moment we have a bi is a basic interest of this board protects clubs. so i think that's the reason for the for the for the slogan be so popular the government is now running a family review into english football with the german model among the reforms being discussed but there's skepticism meaningful change is possible in the meantime fan and clubs like f.c. united of forging their own path proof that an appetite for fun that tickles growing i think it's. time for change. events of the last week of just demonstrate it and spites me fortunately it was more than 50 plus $100.00. i think there is an opportunity now for the supporters
10:21 am
groups to continue to do the right light yet play so many in england the idea of being for the fans can feel like a thing of the past to united it's a model for the future. let's bring in kiran mcquire here he's a football finance expert at the university of liverpool in the u.k. thanks for being with us so fans are demanding more rights in determining how england's premier league operates what's so appealing about the german ball i think it's it comes across as a very simple model english fans have always been impressed by the body organize ation all the german fans they were ability to work together their ability to achieve change at issues such as monday night football and making sure that didn't take place so. there is a there is an affection from from english fans towards the the german approach to
10:22 am
football that it is much more than orientated and that's why it's had so much support to date in terms of these proposals. what reforms do you think are needed in the way english football is run. well i only don't think the 50 plus one model would work because it would involve giving significant compensation to existing shareholders so therefore i think we should be focusing in terms of governance perhaps having fans being able to appoint non-executive directors so that if they were being catered to boardroom level it could be that the government could introduce legislation to it so that fans would have some form of the share which is a effectively a nuclear option giving them and the opportunity to veto significant decisions such as the name of the club whether the club can resign from only and moving the club stadium to to another to another location and decisions which are which will impact upon the fans and for many generations going forwards of football ownership and how
10:23 am
it's ron this is a very powerful deep pocket to be a group of people how much appetite for change is there among those who run football in england. and there's not as far as the owners are concerned most football clubs are seen as trophy assets some obscene as potential investments which can be bought run to prove few years and then sold at a profit so as far as the owners are concerned they are very much keen on preserving the status quo and move what they want to do as much as possible was to remove the risk from paul because there are 6 seats big clubs in the premier league who do about an existing financial advantage over the office and their main concern is that if they don't qualify for the champions league that will give them a financial hit so they put their decision was to simply remove the risk of not
10:24 am
qualifying for the champions league by having a type of football where winning football matches wasn't important in terms of generating revenue and profits and this discussion we're having it was pushed forward by the collapse of the european super league what do you think the consequences will be of that effort to create the european super league going for i think has been a breakdown of trust as far as the football or far as he's concerned those clubs who were members all 5th of the super league which was effectively a franchise organization and the fact that they were also operating at the same time in theory on behalf of both the premier league and you a for that has left that credibility in tatters we've already seen fallout to boardroom level where manchester united chief executive edward he's now leaving the club and they certainly seems to be a greater appetite from the governments in the u.k. at least for some form of structural reform in terms of the governance and
