Parachute payments will be brought under the remit of the new Independent Football Regulator, which will also no longer have to consider foreign policy, with that requirement dropped as part of the hugely strengthened Football Governance Bill to be introduced in the House of Lords on Thursday.
Fans will also be consulted on ticket pricing and home stadium relocations as well as enjoying greater representation at clubs. The inclusion of parachute payments within the regulator’s remit meanwhile greatly boosts the ability of the body to safeguard the entire health of the game, with the “singular curve” of the previous bill also dropped.
