Gary Neville has told MPs that asking Parliament to intervene in how football is run in England is a ‘last resort’, but the appointment of an independent regulator for the national game is now the only solution.
Neville, met with 40 MPs and peers, as part of the ‘Saving the Beautiful Game’ campaign, which is demanding the reorganisation of football so that there is a fairer distribution of the sport’s wealth, ensuring the sustainability of clubs throughout the leagues.
The Former Manchester United defender and now Sky pundit was joined by other high-profile campaign members, former FA chairman David Bernstein and the ex-Governor of the Bank of England Lord Mervyn King.
