Several news organisations rightly picked up on this: Tory peers have been trying to filibuster the Football Governance Bill in the Lords. This is a manifesto commitment - and has cross-party backing. So they...

I don't think it's wise to make this a party political issue.

There are concerns that the Bill doesn't go far enough. For instance women's football hasn't been included, & it needs to be.

I think the Bill is so important that it does need more scrutiny in the committee stage, before it goes to third reading. More info here.

One can see from the above posting, why the Premier League is against it. A Football Regulator is needed to pull back the Premier League from running the game by economic power

I agree that we need a football regulator. I read that the bill doesn't give the regulator power over parachute payments & as I've said previously, women's football needs to be regulated too 

Womens football is going the way of the mens game where the women's top league is pulling away from the rest & most of the money is concentrated there.

The big six in the women's is becoming the big six in the men's.

Hopefully at committee stage it will be made into a comprehensive bill to allow the Regulator the power to override decisions by the FA if those decisions go against the interests of all league clubs.

One of the first decisions I would like to see is FA Cup replays being reinstated, & parachute payments heavily regulated.
