Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Clause 62 provides clear criteria for how the proposals will be judged, setting out the principles by which the expert panel must decide which final proposal is most consistent. These principles include advancing the regulator’s objectives, considering potential commercial burden on the leagues, and ensuring a transition period for relegated clubs if parachute payments are addressed. Furthermore, across the entire regulatory regime, the regulator will also have to have regard to the impact on investment, international competitiveness and sporting competition.
