Proceeding contribution from Graham P Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Football Governance.
Football Governance
The hon. Gentleman is generous in giving way, and makes an excellent point, which I want to add to, as well as supporting the Minister's position. What would the hon. Gentleman say about a club such as Blackburn, however? The board exists, but it is being bypassed; the manager is directly responsible and flies out every month to Pune in India to run the football club. What would happen if the supporters' trust sat on the Blackburn Rovers board? It now has no role within the club. Is that an issue that concerns the hon. Gentleman? How would he deal with it?
