Corbyn has promised to make sure the Premier League invests 5% of its TV rights income in the grassroots game. He said a Labour government would ensure supporters’ trusts could appoint and sack at least two members of the clubs’ boards. It would also allow supporters’ trusts the right to buy shares in a club when it changed owners.

Seems both sensible and popular to me. Doing this in Newcastle with Mike Ashley as the target was like tapping in to an open goal from 6 inches out. Even poor old Fred Guonongbe would have scored that.
