The EFL Clubs has “deeply inspired” as a former first championship advisor should be appointed independent football regulator – with a work donor who has seen rivals for a role appointed by the government

The leaders of the EFL clubs remained “deeply not impressed” after it appeared that the new independent football regulator should be a man who has been the chief media advisor of the Premier League for more than 15 years.

David Kogan, once described as “the key to the world success of competition” should be entrusted to one of the most important roles of the game, the regulator given the power to rule between the Premier League and the EFL in their battle on financial redistribution and the controversial parachute payment system.

And the prospect of a candidate selected so closely linked to the high flight has, to say the least, not clear among the leaders in a certain number of EFL clubs.

The EFL itself refused to comment, but it is believed that the eyebrows were also raised within the organization.

A senior official of a championship club, who did not wish to be appointed, asked: “How is it on the land of God is not a conflict of interest?” Not everyone is impressed. The alarm bells sound.

Kogan was also a donor of parliamentary work candidates, wrote two books on the party and seems to have seen a number of rivals for the role appointed by the government. He is also Director of Labourlist, a news website that is described as the “largest independent basic electronic network” in Labor.

The 67 -year -old man, who would collect about £ 130,000 a year, was the chief media advisor of the Premier League between 1998 and 2015 at a time of dramatic and lucrative growth.

Former producer of the BBC, he also advised EFL, the Scottish Premier League and UEFA on television rights contracts and had a directorate to the state chain 4, but his links to the Premier League which should raise serious questions, if he was confirmed in the role.

Sky News, who first reported history, said that the appointment should be signed by the Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy in the coming days, that the sources have confirmed to be the case. MCDs say that the recruitment process remains in progress.

Others at hunting were the former Princal Aston Villa and the Managing Director of Liverpool, Christian Purslow and Sanjay Bandari, chief of anti-racism charity of football. Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, who directed the guard dog established after the scandal of the expenses of the deputies, was also in the running for the role based in Manchester.

The regulator constitutes a key element of the draft law on football governance, which has now ended a stopping through the Chamber of Lords and is now heading for the approval of the municipalities.

He was born at the back of the failure of the failed Super League and will have a “net” power to force a redistribution agreement between the Premier League and the EFL without being concluded.
