Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

The problem with the idea of sustainability, which is undefined in this Bill, being the purpose of the regulator is that it can get in the way of ambition and aspiration, of calculated risk taking, and all the things that make the Premier League such an exciting and competitive league. Those are the reasons it is the best league in the world, and it is that competitiveness which drives the commercial broadcast values which are the revenues that underpin the entire football pyramid.
