    This is about the FA's ability to act as a governing body and says nothing about inviting foreign teams to compete in their league. A vote of no confidence is not carte blanche for every club within ear shot to demand a piece of the pie.
    The UK Government’s Bill with legislation will force the FA to comply with UK Competition Law and to admit
    six top Scottish football clubs into the English Leagues when the Bill is finally introduced in the Commons in September.

    Essentially, in UK & EU Competition law, football is a business undertaking and a club should be free to provide its services as a football club to the buyers of such services anywhere in the UK. The buyers are, principally, the organisers of domestic football league tournaments, who distribute shares of revenue in return.

    The EFL & EPL are cartels that have abused their dominant position on UK football markets through rules which exclude clubs that do not play their home games in England or Wales.

    The Court would not require Scottish clubs to enter at the bottom of the English National League System. The victim of a civil wrong must, so far as the court can, be put in the position it would have been had the wrong not been committed.

    If the FA have, indeed, been saying NO consistently for over 16 years, then the clubs have been wronged continuously since, at least, 2000 when the Act came into force. Had Scottish clubs been admitted then, where, is it likely, they would be now?

    With evidence of their past achievements, domestically and in Europe, their gates and their revenues, there would be a strong argument that they should be admitted to the Championship, at least.

    The select committee chairman is again Damien Collins MP. The new committee members will be appointed in the next few weeks after the summer recess . . . and the Bill will become law in September.
