Found this, ‘This is about managing, controlling and developing football as a game and also organization of the game in general. The associations have the obligation to do it on their own, in an autonomous way, without outside interference from the government or any other parties. In general, political interference is when a government tries to take direct control’. https://sportlicitors.com/sports-law-for-beginners-2-fifas-rule-on-non-intervention-of-government-in-football/
Setting up the mechanism for the appointment of an Independent Regulator, and therefore not having ‘direct control’ would seem to be free of interference.
So when ‘ Real Madrid Barcelona and five other Spanish football clubs had to repay tens of millions of euros in illegal state subsidies, after the EU executive found they had received unfair financial aid from their government’ that was not deemed ‘political interference’? Far more concerning than creating the mechanism for an Independent Regulator.

I've got mixed views on this and tend to think the petition will not help. The problem is uneven distribution of TV money that entices clubs in the Championship and League 1 to gamble in pursuit of higher TV money in the division above. Take that away and a lot of the idiotic spending to chase promotion and the big losses on relegation will disappear. Financial issues on promotion and relegation will then become more like League 1/League 2/ Conference where revenues do not change as dramatically. Instead of massively regulating everyone to try avoid financial damage, which probably will not stamp out the problem anyway and just increase costs, just reduce the incentive that makes clubs gamble on chasing a big step up in TV revenue. The FA, EFL, PFA, Minister for Sport and fans organisations need to show some backbone and stand up to greedy big clubs (and Sky, BT, etc.) rather than letting the source of the problem continue while tying clubs up in loads of regulations and red tape. We've seen extremes of TV money (Champions League) ruin European football leagues already and everyone knows it's been causing problems here for years. The gaps between clubs' finances at different levels are becoming unbridgeable and creating barriers to healthy competititon and a strong football pyramid. The fans need to go on strike, or something like that, to show their disagreement with how TV revenues are distributed by greedy people to benefit themselves rather than football generally and the fans who ultimately fund it all.
