MP: Coventry is The Worst Example

Last updated : 17 July 2014 By Covsupport News Service

MP Damien Collins has described Coventry City FC as 'the worst example of the problems a club can get into with poor ownership.

The MP who has done a sterling job campaigning for better governance in football told the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert: “Coventry is the worst example in football at the moment of the problems clubs can get into with poor ownership and the need for the FA and the Football League to intervene.

“If governing bodies won’t act, they need to be forced to through legislation.

“This situation is appalling. It underlines that Sisu should never have been allowed to take over the club and run it the way they have done.

“They are an example of how a bad owner can destroy a football club and it should never be able to happen again.

“The situation at Coventry underlined the importance and the need for legislation. The problem hasn’t gone away and they need to act.”
