Football Governance

People will remember that Arsenal, although now based in north London, started its life in Woolwich, south of the river. Queens Park Rangers obviously was not based in Shepherd's Bush for quite some time. I am afraid that the logic of that argument is that it gives a green light to any would-be owner to think, ““I will relocate for a few years, and then we can franchise the club to a different part of the UK entirely.””
