new Independent Football RegulatorThe Times & The Sunday Times

Government tabled legislation for a new watchdog in March to stop wealthy clubs joining breakaway leagues and to protect clubs from financial mismanagement.
Theodore Theodoridis , general secretary of Uefa , wrote to Lisa Nandy , the culture secretary, this month .
He said the game’s independence was a “fundamental requirement”.
Uefa is aligned with the government on a European Super League , which cemented Labour and Conservative support for a regulator.
12 of Europe ’s biggest clubs including several from the UK threatened to form a so-called Super League three years ago .
Theodoridis said the regulator will be able to impose a financial deal on the top leagues if they cannot agree how to divide broadcast revenue.
It is likely any future regulator would exercise such powers as the Premier League and the English Football League remain locked in a standoff over how to allocate billions of pounds .
Officials are also thought to be considering the case for regulating ticket prices and kick-off times.
Uefa is understood to accept that the government is likely to create some kind of regulator and is not trying to block it outright.
The body, which has its headquarters in Nyon , Switzerland , has sought to focus on the areas it regards as red lines.
