Gary Neville said he had been “unnerved” by reports the Government was preparing to shelve plans for an independent regulator for football...
The Labour Party committed itself to bringing forward the legislation needed to underpin a regulator at its annual conference on Monday should the Conservatives not do so.A White Paper setting out the regulator’s remit had initially been due for publication in the summer before the upheaval in the Conservative Party leadership.
“This is a welcome shot in the arm for football clubs across the pyramid,” Fair Game chief executive Niall Couper said. EFL chairman Rick Parry, speaking at the same event as Neville, said redistribution of finances had to go hand in hand with better regulation, and again called for an end to parachute payments as part of an increased 25 per cent share of Premier League broadcast revenue going to the pyramid.
It is understood many clubs feel there is a decreased sense of urgency to get a deal done under the new Government, but discussions are continuing over the proposals.
