Coventry City are probably the stark example of how bad football governance is in this country, according to MP Damien Collins.
The Conservative MP for Folkestone & Hythe, is hosting a debate in Westminster Hall on the Insolvency of Football Clubs this afternoon at 2.30pm and told the Coventry Telegrah's Simon Gilbert: “The owners of Coventry City have run the club into the ground. It is an absolute disgrace what they have done there and it should not be allowed to happen again.
“We have to stop private individuals running clubs into the ground.
“Coventry City is probably the most stark example in the country of just how bad the situation is at the moment.”
If the Bill is passed today then SISU will have to name all of the people and companies with an interest in them and speaking about this, the MP said: “At Coventry City we don’t even know who owns the club. Anyone who owns any stake in the club has to be published.
“I don’t think it’s right that fans don’t who the owners of their club are. There are many reasons why fans would want to know that.
“We want to know where they have come from and what their motivation is.”
