Answered by Darren Jones

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport are leading on setting up the Independent Football Regulator where they are looking to put in place a flexible and proportionate regime focused on ensuring the financial sustainability of the game, which will create the certain and stable regulatory environment required to drive the right kind of investment in, and growth of, English football.

The Regulator also has duties to avoid having any adverse effects on the competitiveness of any regulated club and on the financial growth of, or financial investment in, English football.
