MPs are asking the government to take a closer look at the way football is governed as they asked the government to support its promise to push for rule reform in terms of ownerships, football financing, and involvement by supporters.
Labour MP Steve Rotheram led the lively debate which took place in Westminster Hall, which is nearby to both Goodison Park and Anfield Park.
It was possibly one of the most attended debates held at this location in the last few decades as the Manchester United Supporters Trust actively recruited MPs attendance by sending out handwritten letters of invitation and concern.
Although the debate itself was in no way a definite sign that new legislation would be worked into the books, the fact that so many MPs were in attendance at the open session signalled that MPs are willing to listen to what the football community has to say.
Among those who travelled to Westminster Hall for the event were the former Culture Secretary Andy Burnham, Sports Minister Hugh Robertson, and former Sports Ministers Kate Hoey and Gerry Sutcliffe.
The debate was just one more piece in the movement that is aimed to make the Premier League and the Football Association reign in the large amount of debt that is now found throughout English football teams which has upset many supporters within major football cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Portsmouth, and many others. It also was an opportunity to see what Sports Minister Robertson had to say on the issue after promising his supporters that he would help reform the football governance rules.
