Independent Football Regulator set set to be established following MPs’ backing | Football News
The deputies supported the plans to set up the independent football regulator and deploy operating licenses for football clubs.
The draft law on football governance is about to become law after having erased the municipalities, the deputies voting in favor at third reading by 415 votes against 98, a majority of 317.
The bill will present a football watchdog for the top five levels of the male match to ensure that clubs are managed in a sustainable manner and are responsible for their fans.
The regulator will also have powers of “backstop” to impose a financial regulation between the English football league (EFL) and the Premier League if they cannot agree themselves.
The secretary of culture, Lisa Nandy, told the municipalities: “We have promised in our manifesto that we end up years of inaction and make the changes that fans have fought for so long and that we are late.
“I am proud to be part of the winning team who put our fans on the field at the heart of the game where they belong.”
She added: “It is for Macclesfield, for Wigan, for Bury, for Bolton, for Derby, to read, for Sheffield on Wednesday, for Morecambe and for many, many others who had to endure the misery of being put last when they should have been put first.”
Earlier, conservative calls to consult the “two -level” alcohol ban in the football stands were rejected by the government.
The Minister of Sports, Stephanie Peacock, said that the measures to reverse the prohibition, which has been in place since 1985, does not fall under the field of the bill.
The deputies voted from 346 to 167, majority 179, against a consultation at the end of the ban on stadium alcohol in the first five levels of male football in England.
The Minister of Sports also prevented the financial support of the ex-players who underwent brain conditions caused by football head, but said that the government was “committed” to examine the well-being of players.
A certain number of deputies, including Chris Evans du Labor (Caerphilly), had filed changes to the invoice calling for greater support from former players who developed neurodegenerative diseases following football.
During the reporting phase of the bill, the Minister of Sports Shadow, Louie French, accused the government of “appointing a Labor cronyism to be the new football sheriff”.
David Kogan, a media rights expert, was appointed government -preferred candidate to chair the independent football regulator in April, and his appointment was approved by a multi -party deputies committee.
But Mr. Kogan faces an investigation into his appointment following the revelation he had given money to both Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Ms. Nandy, as well as other work figures.
Ms. Nandy said that the little one at the time, Stuart Andrew, had “actively chased the individual in question and added it to the restricted list”.
