Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she had made of the implications for her Department's policies on football governance of Manchester City FC being charged by the Premier League of being in breach of multiple financial rules.
The Government notes the Premier League’s recent action against Manchester City, but it does not affect the reforms that are needed in football.
We made clear in our response to the Fan Led Review that we are committed to introducing an independent regulator that will improve corporate governance, and provide greater financial oversight across the leagues. The football governance white paper will be published shortly.
