MP Makes A Stand For Fans
Last updated : 07 August 2007 By Kevin Markey
"Why should the fans have to suffer as a result of the actions of the chairman Ken Bates who assured the fans that the corner was being turned financially as the season progressed only to discover with days to go before the end of the season that the club faces £30m of debt?
"Surely it is time for the Football League ... to make sure that it is the people who are responsible for financial mismanagement that pay the price for their obvious failings, not the loyal supporters of the club. I would urge that a review of this whole area of policy by the Football League be undertaken."
