PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL CLUBS AND ADMINISTRATION

Motion Text

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.
