EXCLUSIVEMinister for Sport hits out at football regulator bill critics amid attempts to 'dither, delay and block its progress'

The Minister for Sport has hit back at criticism of the incoming football regulator – accusing club bosses and 'unelected Lords' of making 'tenuous claims' that 'are simply wrong and offensive' and 'don't make sense'.

Earlier this month, senior execs from Arsenal, West Ham United and Brighton launched a scathing attack, claiming the regulator's arrival would cause serous damage to the game.

However, in a blistering op-ed provided to Mail Sport, Stephanie Peacock hits back and also takes a swipe at a 'loud minority seeking to derail the debate, promote untruths and preserve the status quo' as the Bill makes its way through parliament.
