Regulation Of Professional Football

EDM number 1117 in 2012-13, proposed by George Galloway on 27/02/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Regulation and Sports.

That this House believes that professional football in England and Wales is in urgent need of regulation; calls for the wages of all footballers as well as the sums paid to agents and their companies to be made public; notes that the respected pundit and former Manchester United great Gary Neville says that without regulation football is heading towards a crisis akin to the banking collapse; further notes that Gary Neville's former manager Sir Alex Ferguson wants individual fees paid to agents to be on record to show the public the `ridiculous' amounts they can receive; and urges the Government to follow the advice of Gary Neville and appoint an independent inquiry into how agents influence the game and to suggest proposals to regulate their role.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
