Government has always had an interest in football because it is of major public interest. It's a key aspect of our popular culture. The way in which football is viewed both in the stadium and on TV is subject to plenty of regulation, some of which exists because there is a massive power imbalance between the owners and the fans - an aspect of the professional game that is very much to the fore this week. These proposals represent an absolute sea-change in the professional game in England, because of the disproportionate influence the half-dozen owners in question have here. It's absolutely right for the government to intervene.
