Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
The Bill as drafted enables precisely the extreme intervention that the EFL is advocating. As we have heard tonight, it creates a binary choice in the backstop process, with no ability for the regulator to find a middle ground or craft a balanced solution. That means that the future of parachute payments, and with it the stability of the football pyramid, will be subject to a high-stakes gamble every few years.
