This whitepaper, The Football Governance Bill and the Independent Football Regulator: A Brave New World?, is now in it’s second edition.
As the Football Governance Bill progresses to the committee stage of The House of Lords this week, our second edition of the whitepaper reflects the ‘Labourised’ version of the Bill and notes a few interesting amendments proposed by certain members of The House of Lords.
A few notable changes:
• Including parachute payments within the regulator’s backstop remit for financial distributions
• Removing the requirement for the government to consider ‘foreign and trade policy’ when approving club takeovers
• Enhancements for fan engagement
This paper was written by: Christopher Allen, Partner; Andy Hughes, Senior Associate; James Bateman, Solicitor, and Jack Rudgeley, Trainee Solicitor.
