New rules to ‘ensure principles’ of league are protected FA and Pemier League open inquiry into Super League The
Premier League has laid out the first stage of its response to the failed plans for a European Super League, insisting the six breakaway clubs will be “held accountable” for their actions and promising a change in regulations to “ensure the principles of the Premier League and of open competition are respected”.
Working alongside the
Football Association and other stakeholders in the game, new rules will be developed to “protect our game”, the league has said, including a new “owners’ charter”. It comes at the same time as the FA opens an official inquiry into the abortive ESL, with the governing body requesting the big six clubs hand over “information and evidence” regarding their participation in the scheme.
