Football Supporters’ Association chairman Malcolm Clarke expects further fan protests before the end of the season but believes real progress will be made through consultation over proper regulation of club ownership. A demonstration by Manchester United fans caused the postponement of their Premier League match at home to Liverpool on Sunday, with a number of individuals breaking into the ground in the hours before the scheduled kick-off. However, the FSA is concentrating on providing evidence to the investigation into the governance of football being carried out by former sports minister Tracey Crouch. If fans want to make a protest at their last home games of the season I think that’s absolutely fine. Clarke, however, thanked the clubs involved for propelling the debate of governance and fan involvement to the top of the political agenda.
