Is this Independent Body a good thing? Or just another body for the Cartel to infest with their sycophants?

Let’s call this what it really is - it’s a thinly veiled hit job on modern, well-run clubs like City. They’ve tried FFP, they’ve tried doing it through the media and now they are going to try and do it through the arseholes on government.

I'm not so sure. The Premier League and it's members have been quite vocal about their objections to a government regulator, and the government are very keen on the idea of inward investment from places such as the UAE.

We should insist on the following :
Transparency — No more secret charges or selective leaks. Investigations must be public, professional, and honest.
Truly Independent Appointments — No FA insiders, no ex-UEFA execs, no media darlings from rival clubs. Clean hands, clean process.
Independent Right to Appeal — Clubs must be able to challenge bad decisions in proper courts or arbitration panels — not be judged by the regulator itself.
Clear Financial Rules — No vague language like “fair market value” to punish clubs selectively. All clubs, big or small, must play by the same book.
Media Accountability — The regulator should publish all briefings and avoid feeding the press anonymous info to stir agendas.
Fan Oversight — Fans from all clubs, including ours, must sit on review panels to monitor decisions and ensure no club is scapegoated.
Parliamentary Review — Every few years, the regulator’s powers must be audited and approved by MPs. No unchecked authority.
