FAN-OWNED FOOTBALL CLUBS

That this House recognises the many advantages of the ownership structures of football clubs like FC United of Manchester and AFC Wimbledon where supporters have a direct say in the running of their clubs; applauds the community work carried out by such clubs, often in areas that have been neglected by the larger teams in their area; and furtherrecognises that such fan-ownership structures are a welcome change to the greed that is now witnessed at the top levels of English football, where the wishes of loyal supporters are so often ignored.
