The Football Governance Bill is making progress in Parliament, aiming to establish an Independent Football Regulator (IFR) to safeguard historic football clubs and ensure financial stability. Members of Parliament have questioned football authorities about club ownership regulations and the role of the new regulator.
During scrutiny of the Football Governance Bill, I asked if the Bill offers enough powers to prevent an owner with a history of involvement with clubs that have faced financial problems being allowed to own a club in future. https://t.co/vi2yobHrB1
Today at a Football Governance Bill committee session I asked two club owners whether the Independent Football Regulator could help to secure top quality custodians for their clubs when they move on. I didn’t get to hear their responses, but perhaps they will respond in writing. https://t.co/5frQNLESAL
Today in the Football Governance Bill Committee, I asked football chiefs how we get better owners into the game. If you want to see stronger regulations around club ownership please support my campaign here: https://t.co/AiUK46kus2 https://t.co/Y27ZCDHjl3
