Crouch published a report last month which called for parliament to back the creation of a new regulatory body among a series of other recommendations, including a 'transfer tax' to be paid to lower league clubs. "I think they will push back very, very hard on the statutory aspect of the independent regulator and would rather it was a unit in the Football Association."

"All I'm trying to do is to get some money down the football pyramid," Crouch said."Some of the criticism from chief executives made it very clear that they hadn't read the report.
