MP Calls For Sisu To Face Parliamentry Committee

Last updated : 10 February 2017 By CNS Sport

Coventry South MP Jim Cunningham has called for Coventry City's owners Sisu to appear before a parliamentry committee in a bid to find out exactly what has been going on with the Sky Blues.

The MP for Coventry South told the Coventry Telegraph:“I am not going to rehearse all the arguments about Coventry City football club, but there should be some form of regulation.”

Speaking to MP Damian Collins, the chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Mr Cunningham said: “Would he consider having Coventry’s owners, Sisu, in front of his Committee to find out exactly what is going on?

“There are all sorts of problems at Coventry . . . and we really now have to get to the bottom of this.”

Damien Collins said in response: "He has been a doughty champion of the fans of Coventry City football club and the people of Coventry regarding the maladministration of their club. It is tragic that a club that was in the top flight for so long has been run into the ground as it has been.

“The football administrators have stood back and watched that happen, and it cannot be allowed to continue.

“The Committee has spoken about that issue strongly in the past, and it may do so in the future. We speak up for supporters whose clubs are being run into the ground.”
