Bskyb And Manchester United (EDM528)

Bskyb And Manchester United

EDM number 528 in 1998-99, proposed by Roger Godsiff on 13/04/1999.

That this House welcomes the decision by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to block the take-over of Manchester United by BSkyB; congratulates the supporters of the club and football fans throughout the country who campaigned against the take-over; expresses satisfaction that the values, traditions and achievements of Manchester United have not been further devalued by avaricious directors of the club allowing it to become a 'brand name' in a global media war; and calls upon the Government to re-examine the whole question of ownership of professional football clubs and their relationship with their supporters who have sustained them in good and bad times.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
