Niall Couper, the CEO of Fair Game said: “Football is far from perfect but with the likelihood of an incoming football regulator there is a real chance to change it for the better.
“To deliver real and meaningful change we need to understand the problems. We’ve designed the Fair Game Index to do exactly that and help reshape the game we love.
“It is the most comprehensive analysis yet of what it means to be a well-run club, and we’re calling on the authorities, the Football Regulator and football’s governing bodies to work with us.”
