UEFA has not raised any specific concerns about Clause 11. Indeed, UEFA itself told the Guardian in September, after its letter was sent, that it was extremely unlikely that English teams would be excluded from its competitions. As my noble friend Lady Taylor of Bolton said last week, both Italy in 2008, and Spain in 2015, have legislated for how TV rights are to be sold and how the revenues are to be distributed. Neither country’s football federation has faced consequences from UEFA. In fact, they have been among the most successful UEFA members in that time, with teams from the two countries winning around 40 competitions since their respective laws were introduced.
