Debate
Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
Those requirements mean, as my noble friend set out, that Premier League clubs could face unique risks under the Bill’s proposed regime. They would have to ensure that they complied both with the new domestic regulations and with UEFA regulations. That could potentially generate conflicts that Premier League clubs would have to find a way to deal with while ensuring they maintain their places in both sets of competitions. If all clubs are regulated in the same way by the new domestic regulator we are considering in the Bill, those that also have to abide by the rules established by international competitions might be at a disadvantage.
