Culture secretary to make statement on plan for six leading English clubs to join breakaway competition
The culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, is to make a statement to parliament on Monday, as Boris Johnson said the government would try to stop a plan by six leading English football clubs to join a breakaway European Super League.
Officials in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are understood to be urgently examining possible options for preventing the scheme and looking at wider ideas to reform the governance of English football.
