It should come as no surprise that the men running Yorkshire clubs on either side of the Premier League/Football League divide have differing views after the Government finally began the process of appointing a regulator for the sport in the House of Commons this week.

The Conservatives promised as much in their 2019 General Election manifesto and on Tuesday, the bill to create a body overseeing English football got its first reading. One area likely to be at the top of the new regulator's in-tray is imposing a deal to better redistribute the income the world's most lucrative domestic football league earns to clubs lower down the pyramid.

' Bettis favours a limited regulator more focused on things like protecting the future and heritage of clubs like the 134-year-old one he runs. “There’s elements that are good,' he said. 'We still don’t really know how heavy the touch is going to be. “Personally, I think you should be able to run your business, that’s the reality of it. I always refer to this as a business but I am also understanding it’s a football club.
