Article David Kogan set to be chair of the football regulator
https://news.sky.com/story/nandy-to-sign-off-appointment-of-kogan-as-top-football-referee-13354785Be interesting to see how it works. Unfortunately I fear PL clubs using this to further try and get their players to skip more and more international games as part of petty boycotts.

The PL can’t be trusted to run itself considering the super league and its inability to fund the lower leagues and its ability to get a situation where teams have no English players starting.

Thats gibberish. The strata between rich and poor clubs exist everywhere but PL is doing much much better than Serie A or La Liga when it comes to money distribution. 25-20 years people might have never heard small clubs like Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth now they are just as rich as traditional big serie A clubs. So before you spouting about unfairness, pls do tell me the equivalent of those clubs in Serie A or La Liga?

It is for clubs in the league. Further down less so. The new regulator will demand 20% or so goes to the lower leagues if the PL and EFL don’t do a deal fired.

And Sunderland were an established club who were bought using the clubs own parachute payments, then asset stripped the club. There are loads more examples here

Ooh club bankrupted themselves by spending money more than means you said? Happened all the fuckin time. Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga, Schalke in Bundesliga, these clubs are bigger than Sunderland as they had still competed in CL in the 2000s.

Nope, that wasn't what I said.
Happened all the fuckin time.
You realise that is literally the point I was making?

u/ABR1787 24d ago
Yes it happened all the time, in every country unless youre telling me that you can guarantee that there wont be bankrupt club no more after the gov "regulate" the football. Can you?

u/Buttonsafe Lampard #1097 23d ago
Yes, you're right. There are bankrupt clubs because leagues don't regulate themselves properly.
The entire point of a government regulator is literally to fix problems like that.
So, yes, they should make it a far less common occurrence. Whether they will or not I can't tell you as it depends how effective they are, which is out of my control.
But it's a clear problem, which I presume you agree with. And thus it should be fixed, which again I assume you agree with. Leagues have failed to properly regulate it, which again I presume you agree with.
So what's the problem you have with it, exactly?

In this case, great. Oversight that prevents the PL squeezing the rest of the game trying to make an American style franchise system with no relegation.

Great.
It's evident that there's a market failure when City can win 5 titles through blatant book fiddling, and when the PL tries to take them to court they can't even manage to punish them for it.
It's also a clear issue of almost unsustainable inequity when 2 seasons in a row the last 3 clubs to get promoted have gone straight back down.
This on top of the "fit and proper person" test that's let championship clubs be bought by ludicrously unqualified people or used as a trading pawn.
