This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

This is a matter for individual clubs and also the football authorities and the Government cannot intervene. The Government is, however, monitoring the governance and financial Fair Play rules.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
