League Cup

British politicians were told on Tuesday that the much-awaited overhaul of how English football’s finances are shared out is being held up by a dispute over parachute payments. Last month, the UK government published a white paper on reforming club football’s governance, with the main proposal being the creation of an independent regulator for the professional game.
