Closed System For Champions League Places
EDM number 1203 in 2015-16, proposed by Keith Vaz on 07/03/2016.
Categorised under the topic of Sports.
That this House rejects the comments made by Charlie Stillitano, Chairman of Relevent Sports, that the largest five teams in British football should be given a permanent place in the Champions League in a modified closed system; notes the regrettably blasé comments by Mr Stillitano about historic football clubs such as Leicester City; supports the continuation of the current system where football clubs like Leicester City have an equal opportunity with any other Premier League team to challenge for a place in the Champions League; and believes that the financial considerations of a small number of football clubs should never be the basis of major structural changes to the footballing system.
This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
