Professional Football (Regulation)

Proceeding contribution from Ann Coffey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Professional Football (Regulation).
I apologise, Sir Nicholas. Before Christmas, I wrote to the Football League after a meeting with the administrators of Stockport County. Basically, I was seeking assurances about the release of the club's share of media funding. When I read the response from the Football League, it was very clear to me that there is very little flexibility in the rules and regulations that govern the operation of the Football League. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is essential for clubs such as Stockport that we have a review of those regulations and rules to ensure that the Football League operates in the wider interest of the public and of football supporters?
