The Government is finally ready to implement the rules suggested by a fan-led review into football ownership, with major changes set to revolutionise the way the sport is run.
The review of football governance, which was chaired by Conservative MP and former sports minister Tracey Crouch, was first released in November 2021. It called for an independent regulator for the game to ensure financial stability, while also making it harder for clubs to join breakaway leagues, like the disastrous European Super League.
The recommendations have taken over a year to be scrutinised by the Government, but are now set to shake up the way the sport is run. The historic announcement that an independent regulator is coming is understood to be coming next week, but The Sun claims to have seen a leaked version.
