You are correct no doubt in your observations of football clubs are currently run but doesn’t have to be this way. Government could legislate to change the status quo in favour of fans to something akin if their was sufficient public support and political will.
Sadly given the current money pot situation of the Premier League the boat to legislate for fans to have ownership of clubs has long since sailed . The cost of giving back money invested including loans and debt for most of the larger PL clubs is way more than any Government would be prepared to do . The cost for any Fan Group to buy a major PL club is also unless they can split the ownership over hundreds of thousands of fans is also just too high . Once this jack in the box was let out it became very quickly too big to be ever returned to the box .
