Clive Efford MP, Labour’s Shadow Sports Minister, responding to the Government’s football announcement today, said:

“It is three years since the Government promised to set up its working group on supporter ownership of football clubs. Nobody will be fooled by this latest announcement of another talking shop, least of all the fans.

“The truth is this is just a pale imitation of Labour’s radical plan to give fans a role on boards and a slice of the shares.”
