David Kogan has been selected as the government’s preferred candidate to chair football’s new independent regulator.

Kogan, who has previously advised the Premier League and the EFL on television rights deals in a 45-year career as a media executive, business leader and corporate advisor, is now set to head up the watchdog intended to ensure football clubs in the top five tiers are financially sustainable.

The regulator is also crucially set to have ‘backstop’ powers to impose a financial settlement between the leagues if they cannot agree one.

Kogan will now appear before MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport select committee for pre-appointment scrutiny.
