THE EFL has urged politicians from all parties to commit to pressing ahead with an independent football regulator.

The Football Governance Bill, which had the creation of a regulator at its core, was halted last month when Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a General Election for July 4.

The primary purpose of the regulator as it stood was to ensure clubs in the top five tiers of the English professional game were run sustainably and were accountable to their fans.
