English football could be set for seismic change with the appointment of a new regulator in the New Year.
According to the Daily Mail, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has signed off on the introduction of a regulator for the English game just two months after it had looked dead and buried under former PM Liz Truss, something that was reportedly welcomed by Premier League owners.
The need for football to have an independent regulator was highlighted after the Government's fan-led review into football governance, a review that was spearheaded by Conservative MP Tracey Crouch in the wake of the failed plot to give rise to the European Super League, a plot of which Liverpool were an agitator before renouncing their intentions and working with the Spirit of Shankly supporters group and other fan groups to create a Supporters Board that had the power to reject moves by ownership to join a breakaway competition in the future.
