The news, this morning, is listing the Football Regulator Bill as one of those that the Government is going to abandon due to Parliament closing down for the General Election.
There is no mention of what any new Government (the Torys are way behind in the polls) will do with the current Bill but I would imagine that the Premier League clubs are rubbing their hands this morning.

Typical. Although weren't Labour in favour of this regulator as well? So it might not go entirely.

I, also, suspect that they will feel the need to rewrite aspects of the bill which could further delay it. I think it is likely to mean that there will be no more money for the EFL for a while yet. I don’t know what that means to the SCMP and any rule changes forced on to the Championship clubs. |

This is not true. Legislation takes time and bills can't carry on over an election period.
From the BBC
Plans to create a new football regulator will not become law before the election, but Labour and the Conservatives say they are committed to bringing in the new rules.
The government announced plans for the regulator last year, but it’s understood there will not be time for the required legislation to be passed before parliament is dissolved ahead of the election.
Labour’s shadow secretary for culture and sport Thangam Debbonaire told the BBC earlier this week that current plans need to go further to protect the financial sustainability of clubs.

Labour’s shadow secretary for culture and sport Thangam Debbonaire told the BBC earlier this week that current plans need to go further to protect the financial sustainability of clubs. So Labour's Culture and Sport Secretary has already told the BBC that the current plans are not sufficient but they will go ahead and pass the bill put forward by the Conservatives. Is that what you're suggesting? If they do press ahead with the existing bill is that likely to be a priority, do you think? Or will they start with some of the pledges and promises that they make over the next six weeks? Maybe I've been taken in by Sky News but they had a chap on talking about the Rental/Landlord bill and he was saying that all the work done on it will now be wasted. This chap was introduced as being involved in the writing of the bill. |

Others have cross-party agreement in the bill formation and will re-enter the process when or if a new government gets in. Any bill is subject to amendments as it makes it way through Parliament and the Lords and a new government may choose to amend before the bill is laid before parliament. |

The bill will eventually pass and we’ll get our football regulator, for better or for worse. It may just take longer than it might have done had Sunak not called an early election. I’m not sure this will necessarily delay an agreement between the Premier League and the EFL though. The Premier League executive seems to want to get a deal done (to reduce future risk, as they see it). The challenge has been to get a majority (14) of clubs to agree and a part of the problem there has been agreeing who pays? Do all EPL clubs pay the same amount or is payment prorata to media revenues, for example. For Charlton the big prize is more robust spending controls, especially in the Championship, because it’s clear SE7 are not planning to spend outsize sums gambling on getting to the Premier League. Bigger EPL handouts will ease the adjustment for clubs in the EFL, but it’s the imposition of much greater financial discipline that will make the real difference in the medium term. |

The bill will pass, probably soon after GE2024 - why? It had cross party support and is virtually ready to go, as opposed to initiatives from a new government. What I've heard is that some Labour people are interested in amending so as to give more say over parachute payments. But that's a contentious area for politicians and their appointed regulator to address. |
