Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
Companies or investors that think they might invest in a British football team will say that it is not worth the candle, as they will not be able to focus on being a good football team because they will have to do all the things that the Bill requires, with a regulator—already all these shadow people are being hired, one by one, to plan how they are going to exercise control over football clubs. They will decide not to do it. I can predict that with this Bill, especially if we add all of these baubles to the Christmas tree, we are going to see the Premier League—the greatest league in the world—gradually go down the drain.
