HarrowbyOwl Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The Football Regulation Bill establishing the Independent Regulator for Football will be published and get its first reading in parliament tomorrow. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/03/18/football-governance-bill-uk-government-premier-league/ Finally we'll get to see it in full (only seen the legislative intention so far in the government White Paper). Hope its not going to be a disappointment 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No danger that it won't go through. Too much cross-party support. Some danger about having enough time to get through all parliamentary stages before the election is called and parliament dissolved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people wanted the regulator to be a branch of the FA before the Fan-led review recommended (and the government accepted) that the FA was part of years of failed self-regulation. It is recognised that the regulator has to be independent of the FA , the leagues and government 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Isn’t the fundamental problem that clubs are spending more money then they are making whilst I understand and support the commercial money should be more available to football league clubs this will only give them more revenue to max out there needs to be more control on the clubs some wages are unsustainable and this should be brought more in line where if their turnover/ wealth / assets are lower than the running costs signings and wages should be blocked or capped until it’s come back in line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in how they deal with an owner who sold the stadium puts in just enough money to keep a club afloat while copping loads for having high ticket prices and not being successful......can they force him out can they force him to get the stadium back and if they can how ....certainly going to be interesting if they have a cajones to take him on 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 What can they do about owners already in situ who are ruining their respective clubs? If only they had the powers to remove their ownership and give the club to a supporters trust to run...if only. Will the regulator have real powers i will be very surprised.

El Wednesday Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 We could do with the 50+1 rule, like they do in Germany. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It all sounds good but I can’t help but feel it’ll be toothless and nothing is really going to change. If they just got rid of the parachute payments I’d be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
