A strengthened Football Governance Bill will begin its second reading in the House of Lords on Wednesday, with parachute payments under the powers of the proposed independent football regulator expected to be one of the main topics debated.
The new Labour Government had confirmed in the King’s Speech it would revive the Bill, which is aimed to ensure a new football regulator is fully independent of both Government and industry, as well as to give fans a greater voice in the management of their clubs.
