Football’s independent regulator will have the power to settle the ongoing row over financial distribution between the Premier League and the EFL.
The Government has long warned the football authorities the regulator would have 'backstop powers' to intervene and those powers will be confirmed on Tuesday when the Football Governance Bill is introduced to Parliament. 'These powers mean that if the leagues fail to agree on a new deal on financial distributions, then the backstop can be triggered to ensure a settlement is reached,' a Government announcement on the Bill said.
' Regulator can block clubs from joining European Super LeagueTop-flight clubs were accused by Culture, Media and Sport select committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage of making an 'empty promise' while the EFL said it was 'clearly disappointed' at the 'repeated failure' to put forward any new funding offer.
