29 clubs are urging the Government to press ahead with plans for an independent regulator, warning inaction would lead to clubs being “wiped off the map”. It would be interesting to see a list of those clubs.
Whereas I'd like to see this happening, I'm not convinced it would actually stop a European super league, more takeovers like the one at Newcastle, or more clubs going into administration. After all, when does Government stop rampant capitalism?
The filmed interview with former sports minister Tracey Crouch here is informative: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63457502 |  | | |  |

There is an added problem here. Governments cannot interfere with FAs and the way they run their leagues. If the government does, like in a few African countries and possibly in Iran, then FIFA will ban that country from any FIFA events including both the national team and all the club teams. That is, any commission would have to be completely independent of any government. Can that happen? Can the government be allowed to set up an independent commission without it being seen as a government control of the FA? |  | | |

Fair play to them, easy to turn a blind eye to this tainted money when it’s the club you love that stand to benefit.
My moron of a brother-in-law is a NUFC supporter. When I asked him how he felt about the takeover and the human rights record of the regime his response was; “I don’t give a fc.uk about any of that b0llocks , we’re going to win the Prem, I don’t give a sh.it” |  | | |

Brilliant . More power to them . The players and management need to wake up and realise who is paying their mortgages and kids school fees . |  | | |

I made the mistake of reading a few of the below the line comments…I really hope that isn’t representative of how a large number of Toon fans think…that’s just terrifying… | | | |

Unfortunately it's really not the fans anymore. It's the sponsorships, TV money, and dirty money of said owners. It wouldn't matter a jot to these players and management if they were playing in front of less than half empty stadiums as long as their money keeps rolling in from other sources. |  | | |
