Leeds United’s steps toward Premier League initiative as CEO Angus Kinnear takes new responsibility

The division launched its Fan Engagement Standard [FES] on Wednesday, outlining the standards expected of its member clubs with regards to ‘meaningful engagement’ with supporters.

Unanimously approved by the Premier League clubs in November 22, the plan lists five themes seen as integral to a long-term commitment to fan engagement – namely leadership and culture, listening, collaborating and participating, sharing, and learning and improving.

A Premier League statement said: “Each theme is linked to a series of core commitments and activities. Collectively these form a baseline for club engagement that sets minimum standards, with defined methods of consulting, reporting and review, each designed to promote transparency and continuous improvement.”
