Football regulator

[mellowmiller]

What makes anyone think a football regulator would be any more effective or efficient than any of the other industry regulators that already exist?
Let's face it the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Ofwat, Ofcom, Ofgem et al are hardly beacons of effectiveness are they?
Also what would they call a football regulator?
Offoot? Ofball? Neither are particularly appealing 😉

Like some of those you mention, the lack of meaningful bite would stem from complex ownership of those they're overseeing. The problems we have now don't come from a lack of governance, they come from a structure which isn't equitable, and a general apathy from the 'consumers'. As I said above, the lack of uniform agreement that the game is almost completely f***ed renders any incoming regulator as little more than a token gesture.

I don't blame the toerags running the game, nor the players who take so much out of it. The fans are to blame. As someone on here said about our club, which echoes completely about the wider game, fans get the sort of (club, or) game the deserve.
