Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

The Bill takes all the FA’s powers away when it comes to financial regulation. The FA has no status whatever in this legislation as it severs the connection between the one national governing body that is recognised in this country for football and legislation which is now taking over the full running of the financial regulation—with, by the way, very few of the fan-led review requests. It is virtually all financial regulation, out of the 124 pages.
