The government’s preferred candidate to become the independent regulator of English football has warned the Premier League and EFL they have less than 18 months to agree a deal on financial redistribution.
David Kogan sat before the culture, media and sport select committee in parliament on Wednesday in a pre-appointment hearing to assess his suitability.
