Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

I believe that good governance is a protection not just for the fans but for the owners. It protects the owners from unwarranted attack, bearing in mind that in the Championship, League One and League Two, £450 million is being pumped in, this season alone, to ensure that clubs do not go bust, because they do not have the mass revenue that the Premier League has because of its sheer brilliance on the field and in negotiating television rights and the like.
