Football regulator will not consider foreign policy for takeovers after climbdown
Change by ministers comes after Uefa warningFootball governance bill to be introduced on Thursday
Ministers have climbed down over plans to require the new football regulator to consider the government’s foreign policy when making decisions about club takeovers.
The move follows warnings from Uefa that this requirement could lead to some countries’ bids for clubs being favoured over others and amount to political interference in football.
