Unelected Tory Lords trying to stop the independent football regulator, is it?

We shouldn't be surprised in the slightest that there appear to be cahoots, when it comes to Premier League club owners getting what they want.

In an age during which politics wants to stick its stinky beak into just about everything, it is perhaps surprising that football can appear as apolitical as it often does; at ground level, at least. Part of the reason for this is that the game comes from communities, and we all know that to support a team requires putting aside one set of tribal loyalties for a couple of hours every week in order to concentrate on another.

But that is very much a supporter’s perspective. Pull the camera back a little and you start to see greater political machinations until we get to the House of Lords and the flagrant attempts of some Conservative members of this unelected house deciding to ignore the very principle of democracy itself by seeking to sideline the implementation of an independent regulator for football, almost certainly at the behest of the self-serving foreign owners of Premier League football clubs.
