Professional Football Clubs And Administration
EDM number 739 in 2009-10, proposed by Roger Godsiff on 27/01/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Sports.
That this House notes that Crystal Palace FC has gone into administration and that many other clubs are in severe financial difficulties; and believes that it is unfair and inequitable for the professional football authorities to insist that all football creditors have to be paid in full before allowing clubs to participate in their leagues while other creditors, many of whom are small businesses, are likely to receive only a small proportion of monies owed to them.
This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
