A fuller picture of the scope and power of an English independent football regulator has begun to take shape after the government published the football governance bill
Football governance bill reveals extent of proposed powersThe proposed regulator for English football will have the power to strip bad owners of their right to run a club, and to force them to sell up their holdings, as the scope of its abilities – and limitations – came into focus at the start of a long-awaited legislative process.
In the first instance these licences will be provisional, running for three years, with the regulator undertaking to work with clubs to ensure they hit minimum criteria. After this period a permanent licence would be granted but could, as an ultimate sanction, be withdrawn in the event of what is described as “persistent and wilful non-compliance”.
The third stage would require the submission of a business plan that lays out how an owner would seek to run their club sustainably.
