Gary Neville has claimed Todd Boehly’s controversial plans are a clear sign that English football needs an independent regulator.
The Salford City owner has been a vocal proponent for an overhaul into the way the game is managed. Ever since the doomed Super League proposals in 2021, Neville has called for extra protection to be afforded to the current pyramid and to reduce the power the Premier League and its clubs hold.
There have since been discussions between the UK government and the Football Association into implementing a regulator, although there are now fresh question marks after Liz Truss became Prime Minister earlier this month. Last year, the Government commission Conservative MP and former Sports Minister Tracy Crouch to chair a review into fan governance - with the key finding being the need for independent regulation.
