PLANS for a quango football regulator should be scrapped immediately, Kemi Badenoch blasted yesterday.
The Tory Leader implored Sir Keir Starmer against creating another body which could be led by a Labour donor.
In the coming weeks, ministers are expected to confirm that the football regulator will be headed up by David Kogan.
The sports media rights executive donated almost £75,000 to Labour MPs and parliamentary candidates in 2023 and 2024.
Ms Badenoch told The Sun: “I don’t and have never really believed in the idea of a football regulator, because it’s about who runs it.
“I’ve heard rumours that Labour has picked some Labour person to run the football regulator.
“So it’s going to be a quango.
“This is a government that doesn’t have serious businesspeople, people who understand these things.
“Labour, running football, in my view, is not a good idea.”
In February Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe, former chairman of Southampton FC and FA Board member, warned the organisation would destroy the Premier League.
Speaking to The Sun’s Never Mind The Ballots show, he said: “The Premier League’s an unbelievable success.
“It brings huge soft power to Britain, it brings huge amounts of tax revenue to the Exchequer.”
