<p>The Government does not currently assess the ownership or governance arrangements
of individual football clubs, but we recognise that they have unique social value
and it is vital that they are protected.</p><p>The Fan Led Review recommended that
a new owners’ and directors’ tests for clubs should be established by an Independent
Regulator for English Football. The Government agrees this will help to ensure the
future sustainability of our football clubs and the stability of the game. The Government’s
response to the Review sets out that the tests should be strengthened by enhancing
due diligence to check source of funds and the strength of business and financial
plans, and that an integrity style test will be introduced. The forthcoming White
Paper will provide further details on how the enhanced tests will work, and what will
be in scope of the integrity test.</p><p> </p>
