Football regulator: Calls for government 'objectives' clause to be altered or scrapped from bill amid Uefa warning

Pressure is mounting over a controversial clause regarding government 'objectives' in a draft version of the bill that will introduce an independent football regulator in England.

www.bbc.co.uk

"It provisionally has a clause requiring the proposed regulator to consider the “foreign and trade policy objectives” of the UK government when taking decisions"

I can see this causing controversy in the future. Newcastle bias to bolster trade with Saudi Arabia? Bias for US owned clubs due to "the special relationship"?

Choon! Always loved it! Great Michael McDonald/Doobies track given a hip-hop twist.. wonderful! And a call-to-arms to City to sort out this PL/FFP/PSR farrago once and for all!

'Regulators.. mount up!'

That was due to direct government sanctions and not a decision by an "independent" regulator. It's the "independent" bit I find a bit weird, why not just call it a goverment regulator?

Or better still apply UK laws to the running of the finances of football just as every other business. This is why they have got Tebas to pipe up. You don't buy a football club to make serious money, its about PR. The red tops and chavs are run by spivs laundering money.

People don't really believe it'll be independent do they? This is as bent as fuck from the off.

Considering we are in the dock now the regulators first job should have been to go after those rag frauds.
