As we battle to retake our place at football’s top table, a celebrity Leeds supporter is launching a revolution amongst English fandom to try to return the game to the fans.

Stand-up comic and musician Micky P Kerr has published a book - Football, The People’s Shame - in which he asks how we, the fans, can reclaim the game from the corporations and oligarchs he believes have stolen it from us.

Many Leeds supporters have mixed feelings about us returning to the Premier League and Kerr believes only a new model of club ownership - and change at a national level - can return football to how he thinks the sport should be. 

"There is no point in us getting promoted (to the Premier League) with the system the way it is. It’s totally pointless; we will just get relegated. I know exactly what will happen. We will go up, (Daniel) Farke will be sacked by Christmas and we will have three managers. It’s a pointless league.

"Football clubs are not football clubs; they are just hell bent on making profit. The movement of travel is away from people, to maximising profit and towards a European Super League. If you want to do something about it then you’ve got to do it now.”

Kerr is continuing bid to revolutionise our sport with a launch and Q&A evening for his book Football, The People’s Shame on December 18 at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds, where he will be joined by fellow comic and Whites fan, Maisie Adam. Proceeds from the evening will go to the Trust.

“Come and show your support with the idea of fighting back. Don’t be cynical; be skeptical. The fight to save Leeds United and what it stands for is the same fight for every club.”

During the night, Kerr will lay out his blueprint for how fans can join together in a bid to reclaim football. The event starts at 6pm and is a chance to learn more about the book and whether it really is time for a football ‘revolution’.
