Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

However, I doubt that this can be achieved simply by passing more money down the pyramid. It has to be done in a much more structured way. We need to see competitive balance within and between the leagues, so that fans can watch attractive and competitive football. We want the Premier League to continue to thrive financially and for its clubs to be successful in international competition, but a successful pyramid surely means that clubs should also be able to move successfully between divisions without creating life-threatening financial crises.
