Premier League CEO makes most forceful intervention to dateMasters challenges plans for ‘complicated, duplicative system’
Richard Masters has laid out a series of detailed objections to plans for an independent regulator for English football, arguing the body will be too risk-averse and subject to too much influence by government.
This new series of challenges to the regulator is perhaps the Premier League’s most forceful piece of lobbying. With the football governance bill passing its way through parliament, Masters fleshed out the league’s longstanding criticism that the regulator would result in “unintended consequences”.
