Recent discussions between Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer and various clubs in the English Football League (EFL) have been described as a 'car crash', failing to garner support for the establishment of a football regulator. This comes amidst calls from Clive Betts MP for the government, specifically asking Prime Minister @RishiSunak, to set up a regulator to protect community football clubs, questioning whether action would be deferred to a future Labour government. During #PMQs, Sunak responded by stating the government is engaged in discussions with the industry, a stance criticized by some as insufficient. The lack of progress on promised legislation for football governance has been highlighted as a point of contention, with accusations of the government failing fans, players, and clubs.
Rishi Sunak's answer on football governance at #PMQs was abysmal. We've been promised legislation for months. The Tories are letting fans, players and clubs down. It's time the PM and CMS Secretary actually get on with governing and introduce this legislation immediatley. https://t.co/zTo64kQC8m

Clive Betts MP asked @RishiSunak when a football regulator will be set up to "ensure no community in future loses its football club" Or will he "leave it for a future Labour govt to act on behalf of fans?" Sunak: "Govt is engaged in discussions with industry" Just not good enough https://t.co/DmLriKfHnt
