Coronavirus: EFL League One, League Two clubs could fold without Government bailout - MP

[mrbojangles]

Damian Collins MP: "In the next few weeks we could see five to 10 EFL League clubs going into administration... without Government stepping in, those clubs could go to the wall."

 

An urgent and substantial Government bailout is needed for clubs in the EFL Leagues One and Two, otherwise, up to 10 clubs could go into administration within weeks.

 

That is the view of former Chair of the Commons Select Committee, Damian Collins MP, and the co-owner of League One Sunderland, Charlie Methven.

 

In an interview with Sky Sports News, Collins said the parlous financial state of many League One and Two clubs even before the coronavirus crisis was worrying, but the impact of the pandemic was making the plight of clubs more acute.

Don't know what you guys think but I personally don't think it's down to the Government or taxpayers to save football clubs.

 

Don't remember them doing anything for Bolton and Bury

Gary Neville reckons it should be down to the Prem Clubs to do their bit. Again though, don't remember them doing anything for Bolton or Bury
