Blues boss Kieran McKenna has commented on the Government’s confirmation of the introduction of an independent regulator for English football.

The plan for a regulator was recommended by a fan-led review last year and was given Government approval yesterday.

“I’ve not had a chance to have a look at it and from the club’s point of view, that will be more [CEO] Mark [Ashton]’s area,” McKenna said.

“But I think it’s healthy these discussions are going on and things are being looked into to make sure we protect the English game.

“Our set-up in this country is so unique to have 92 professional clubs in the league system and such a strong National League where I think pretty much every team is full-time now.

“We have so much history and the support of those clubs is unique and special and we need to protect that as much as we can. I think it’s really important that these things are looked at in such a positive way.”

Robert_Garrett added 11:04 - Feb 26 Does that mean that QPR, Cardiff, Portsmouth and a whole host of FFP negative clubs will be sanctioned now? We already have a whole host of rules and regulations which are only applied four years later or too late.
