The Blues Trust have welcomed the forthcoming introduction of football's Independent Regulator so that more clubs in this country can begin to avoid the fate that Birmingham City have suffered at the hands of previous owners. In the King's Speech on Tuesday, it was confirmed that the Football Governance Bill will 'safeguard the future of football clubs for the benefit of communities and fans". "At the time, Blues supporters were in desperate need of some way of challenging the governance of the club by the then owners.

EFL chair Rick Parry today added: "We welcome the landmark commitment to the Football Governance Bill in the King's Speech and look forward to it being considered by Parliament in the period ahead.
