Premier League promise 'Owner's Charter' after Super League revelations and Manchester United protests

The Premier League have promised to implement an "Owner's Charter" after the Super League revelations and protests from Manchester United fans at Old Trafford.

The plans for that breakaway have since been scrapped amid fierce opposition from supporters and experts alike, but calls for the wealthy owners of the original founding clubs to be reigned in or removed are increasing.
