Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

My amendment would incorporate all the trusts. The fundamental difference tends to be that a lot of the trusts want to own part of their football club. My fan group has no desire to own part of our club. We see the model of football as being a range of different major investors in a multi-million—and, sometime in the future, multi-billion—pound business. The last thing we want is to meddle with those financial decisions. Neither do we want to be making decisions on sacking managers or appointing them, selling players or buying them.
