Premier League reject MPs' proposals

BRITISH MPs yesterday made a raft of recommendations to narrow the gap between the haves and have-nots of English football but the Premier League immediately indicated its clubs would reject every key proposal.

The All Party Football Group, a committee representing 150 MPs and peers, published the conclusion of its nine-month investigation into football finances.

The panel, chaired by Alan Keen MP, interviewed 42 key figures in the sport including officials from the Football Association, Premier League and Football League and even shelled out £1,000 of their own money to pay the costs of producing the report.
