Draft Statutory Guidance on the Meaning of “Significant Influence or Control”Contribution
It makes no sense to me why the chairmen and non-executive directors of a club may be exempted from this, whereas people right down the food chain of ownership that I have mentioned are covered. When we have sorted out this maze of uncertainty, what are the implications for those with significant influence or control? With 100 plus pages of legal backing, the football regulator has, in its very first conference, called for yet more powers in the case of Sheffield Wednesday. Does the Minister know what these additional requested powers are?
