Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

If the Premier League and the EFL wish to agree on a 10-year or even 12-year distribution arrangement, and both parties believe it is a positive deal, why should the backstop mechanism interfere? This is an unjustifiable intrusion into football’s financial affairs, where the Government simply do not belong.
