Football Governance Bill (Independent Regulator)

[cookster]

Malcolm Clarke of the FSA just said it was the big 6 that forced the governments hand by not bowing to the rest of the league. I thought we were one of the few who wanted an independent regulator?

We did.
Lazy journalists always lump us in the Top 6 cartel when it's a negative narrative.

We were apparently the only one who voted for an independent regulator.
As for the blame being layed at the ‘big 6’ door, that’s utter bollocks.
20 teams vote in this league.

According to the Bill it will be illegal for a team to join a ESL within 10 year of being regulated, so for that to happen they need to operate outside the UK in some type of world league.

Regulator bill announced today in King’s speech.
That should annoy the red teams.

Another obstacle in the way of the Americans having a stranglehold over our game. Can only be a positive.

Hopefully we can stop the red shirted cartel from hijacking this like they did with platinis original plan for FFP
