Maybe I'm naïve but I thought it went quite far - the EFL must implement reform or the government will. | |

It's stronger than asking the EFL to get their house in order which was the previous stance. Big JC will nationalise and regulate the lot when he gets in so it's all academic anyway | |

“If the football authorities fail to implement these reforms, or conclude that a statutory framework is needed to give them full effect, we recommend that the government immediately brings forward the necessary legislation to introduce a fully independent system of football licensing and regulation,” And the Governments reply will be the same as before..... The committee, chaired by the Conservative MP Damian Collins, acknowledged that it made similar recommendations, calling for a licensing system in football, following a previous inquiry in 2011, but the government has shown no inclination to legislate for football reform. The government told the inquiry that it is the “responsibility of the football authorities to govern the sport”. | |

I still don't know why we didn't push for reparations. Suppose there's still time..... | |

It does feel like a fairly big, positive step. We at BST have been lobbying for this for a long time without ever feeling that the EFL in particular were taking it at all seriously. They have to now, although the statement they have made earlier today about Bury doesn't augur well. David Conn has picked it up. Now a fairly big wedge is in the door, the task is to push it open further to beyond the point of no return. It would help if more people made a song and dance when things are wrong. There is no need to be silent about your dissatisfaction, or put up with fifth rate governance. | |

Hasn't it dovetailed nicely that Bury fans taunted us when we were in the mire; Now they are bust and David Conn (a Bury fan) is the daddy when it comes to holding EFL's feet to the fire? It's even better that - rather than learning - the EFL are kicking back against this already

Quite like Damian Collins and feel this may have teeth. Also agree with Collins`s proposed stance on increasing the powers of parliament in order to compel people to appear before parliamentary committees when requested. Recently Mark Zuckerberg, Dominic Cummings and Jeremy Kyle have declined to attend. A veritable triumvirate of ungodliness with much to conceal... | | | |

Think our Parliamentary Committees work quite well with good cross party cooperation (Take note USA). I'm not sure how you'd be able to actually compel a private citizen, let alone a foreign national to attend though. (Should be easy to force any Government employee or special adviser to attend though). The Government will ignore this advice (re football governance), and kill off any attempt of a private members bill. However I see this as the start of a bloody long process that will bring change in the end. Great work by BST and others for keeping the pressure on. [Post edited 6 Nov 2019 10:04]

Found this in my inbox last night You recently signed the petition: Legislate for the creation of an independent regulator for football https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/268665 Because of the General Election, the closing date for the petition you signed has changed. All petitions now have to close at 00:01am on 6 November. This is because Parliament will be dissolved, which means all parliamentary business — including petitions — will come to an end until after the election. This means the petitions site will be closed and people will not be able to start or sign petitions. We’re sorry we weren’t able to give you more notice that this would happen. The petition will be available for people to read on the site even though it will be closed for signatures. This petition won’t be reopened after the election. The Government can’t respond to petitions during the election period. This means if the petition has over 10,000 signatures, it can’t receive a response from the current Government after 5 November. After the election, the new Government will have to decide whether it wants to respond to petitions from before the election. The current Petitions Committee, the group of MPs who decide whether petitions are debated, won’t exist after 6 November. This means that if the petition has over 100,000 signatures, it can’t be scheduled for debate during this Parliament. After the election, there will be a new Petitions Committee, and they will be responsible for deciding which petitions are debated. The petitions site will open again after the election, but at the moment we don’t know exactly when. You can follow us on Twitter @HoCPetitions for updates, or check back on the petitions site for news if you prefer. Ahead of the General Election on 12 December, make sure you’re registered to vote. You can check whether you’re eligible to vote and find out how to register at: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. The deadline to register to vote is Tuesday 26 November. Many thanks, The Petitions team UK Government and Parliament | |

Yeah, I think the Select Committee being brought to a hasty end by the general election has worked out quite well. It seems like the committee have just tied things up abruptly with a broadside against EFL thinking "that'll do". In the months and years following the GE, they'll have Robbie. and the rest of his FSA crew holding them to what they've said. Happy days. | |
