Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

This decision risks undermining trust between leagues and stifling innovation and long-term thinking, and it erodes the very relationship that English football needs to thrive. The consequences will be predictable: investors will hesitate; clubs will lose confidence in their financial arrangements; and negotiations will become ever more fractious, as both sides prepare for the inevitability of regulatory intervention.
