How a new law will shake up top tiers of men's football
The Football Governance Bill has passed the Commons and is set to become law, with MPs voting 415 to 98 in favour at its third reading. The Bill will establish an Independent Football Regulator for the top five tiers of men's football, tasked with ensuring clubs are run sustainably and are accountable to their fans. The new regulator will also have powers to impose a financial settlement between the English Football League and the Premier League if they cannot agree one themselves. MPs rejected proposals to consult on lifting the alcohol ban in football stands and to mandate free-to-air coverage for at least 10 Premier League matches annually. David Kogan is the Government's preferred candidate to chair the Independent Football Regulator, but is facing an inquiry over donations made to Labour figures.
