Football Clubs (Governance)

Proceeding contribution from Penny Mordaunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 September 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Football Clubs (Governance).
I am a Portsmouth fan, so I welcome the momentum behind football reform, but I would like to introduce a note of caution. I support fan ownership, but we might be asking fans who are already paying clubs large amounts of their disposable income to have a stake in those clubs that is not genuinely meaningful. A Portsmouth fan might want a veto on a new owner or the sell-off of land. I welcome what the hon. Gentleman says about focusing on governance structures, and I hope that we do not miss some quick wins on that front by focusing solely on ownership.
