Staveley wrote an open letter to former Conservative sports minister Tracey Crouch on Sunday, accusing the Premier League of a lack of transparency and accountability around the deal. "We know nothing about the arbitration, we can't be part of the arbitration and we don't know what's going on. I have to first of all say that I am a huge fan of the Premier League and naturally I am trying to become a part of that institution. "We should be very proud of the Premier League, but with an institution which is as important to Britain and the UK, transparency around the decision that regulators make is important. The Premier League has declined to comment.
