Paul MacInnes with some big news that will certainly impact the Premier League.

Proposed changes to the football regulator that would ensure clubs could not be sold to nation states are set to go before the House of Lords as the legislation returns to Parliament this week. Nineteen changes to the football governance law have been proposed by Fair Game, an organization of 34 men's clubs campaigning for a more sustainable approach to the governance of the national sport.

Other proposals include adding a human rights component to owner and director testing, as well as a requirement to disclose the source of an owner's funds. The text of the proposed amendment to state ownership states: “The bill must exclude the possibility that the owner of a club could be a state or a state-controlled person or organization.”

preamble

A dismissal at Palace, goals galore at Brentford, a first win for Wolves, City's downward spiral and Liverpool's counterattack abound… it's been an exciting weekend of Premier League football so far. And the good news is that more will happen.

In our afternoon games, Leicester travel to Old Trafford for Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game. The in-form Forest side host Newcastle and Spurs and will be hoping to bounce back from their European disgrace against desperate Ipswich.

Join me in all the goals and the big moments in the 2:00 p.m. GMT Kickoffs.

And as always, email me any thoughts, predictions, questions, or complaints you'd like to share with me.
