Mihir Bose: Blackburn Rovers fiasco shows football is just too big and too important to self-regulate any longer
This may not come as much comfort to Blackburn Rovers supporters, but one result of their relegation and how Venky’s, their Indian owners, have managed, or rather mismanaged, the club, is that, at last, high profile politicians may be persuaded that self-regulation in football does not work.
This could even lead to legislation. I am given to understand it might it, and if it does, it will mark a significant development in British football.
