After good cross-party work, the government is announcing plans for an Independent Regulator for football.
The main purposes of the proposed new regulator will be:
Stopping English clubs from joining closed-shop competitions, which are judged to harm the domestic game
Preventing a repeat of financial failings seen at numerous clubs, notably the collapses of Bury and Macclesfield
Introducing a more stringent owners' and directors' test to protect clubs and fans
Giving fans power to stop owners changing a club's name, badge and traditional kit colours
Ensuring a fair distribution of money filters down the English football pyramid from the Premier League
