The independent Everton Fan Advisory Board (FAB) has today called for the new Independent Football Regulator (IFR) to have full oversight of Profit & Sustainability Rules and for fan representation on the Boards of the IFR and Premier League (PL).

The Football Governance Bill, which will have a second reading in Parliament on Tuesday, April 23, as currently drafted only gives the IFR partial oversight for financial sustainability, with no authority for PSR. In a letter sent today to all MPs, the FAB has asked that the legislation be amended so it is more consistent with the recommendations of the Fan Led Review of Football Governance led by Tracey Crouch MP, which recommended that: The IFR has full authority over PSR; The IFR publishes guidelines on how sanctions will be applied; The guiding principle of sanctions should not unfairly impact fans, but instead target club ownership and leadership.

The FAB, which submitted witness and impact statements to the Independent Commissions for Everton’s PSR breach hearings, also calls for the views of fans to be considered as part of any sanctions process. The FAB has also asked for the Bill to be amended to ensure that the IFR has a duty to consult with Fan Advisory Boards, other supporter groups and for fan representation on the IFR & Board and Expert Panels.
