King Charles has used his first state opening of Parliament speech to announce a new independent regulator for English football.<\/p>\n
The King confirmed the Government’s plans to create a new body to oversee the game and said it was to ‘safeguard the future of football clubs for the benefit of communities and fans’.<\/p>\n
The regulator aims to prevent clubs from joining breakaway leagues, force them to seek approval for any sale or relocation of their stadium and create strengthened owners’ and directors’ tests.<\/p>\n
It has been hailed as a ‘watershed moment for the sport’ by campaigners.<\/p>\n
Niall Couper, chief executive of Fair Game, said: ‘Today’s announcement is a historic moment for football and represents a real chance to end the cycle of overspending and mismanagement that has plagued our national game and threatened the very existence of our clubs.’<\/p>\n
