Simon Jordan explains why an independent regulator could ruin football, but believes the sport needs more governance
3The UK government are set to announce the Football Governance Bill in Parliament, which will grant powers to the IFR to oversee clubs in England's top-five tiers.
Giving his say on the matter, Jordan has argued that the new historic measures could be to the detriment of football, rather than helping it. "If we're not careful, these are existential threats to the value of this game - these are dangerous times, but interesting ones.'It's a disgrace' - Everton fan Bellew calls for Man City to be sent to the Conference"And it's about how significant operators within the game react to it, rather than the background noise that politicians are making."
"The idea that we need over-regulation of this game and governance to step into a scenario where it starts to strangle the game is ridiculous."And why the independent regulator has value to me is because it can be used as an opportunity for Rick Parry and Trevor Birch to make up for the sins of the imbeciles that went before them.
"It's the world's most powerful league, with some of the best football teams, managers and individuals playing in it - has 320 games being broadcast live every season.
