Football and its Finances launched
Alan Keen MP, Chair of the All Party Football Group said:
"Football is part of the nation's heritage. The game has made great strides forward as a spectacle in recent years and broadened its supporter base from the old working class traditions. However, despite its increased popularity, there are serious financial problems at the professional end of the game.
There is concern that the grass roots could be affected as well as the long term future of the professional game itself if the wrong decisions are made. We hope that the All Party Parliamentary Football Group's report may assist to gather together the joint wisdom of all those involved in the game at all levels"
The Rt. Hon. Richard Caborn MP, Minister of Sport said:
"As Minister for Sport, and on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport, I welcome the All Party Football Group's Inquiry into Football and its Finances, and look forward to the Group's findings in the Autumn."
