Think of the current owners and just look at the clauses we are considering in this group. The Bill encourages, not diminishes, the long-term potential of a super league. It may in the short term stop it in its tracks but, in the future, this onerous government intervention will do little to attract new investment—why should it? The losers will be the fans. Existing Premier League ownership tests are already onerous, as they should be, but there is no case to add the influence test.
