Unlike his silent and useless Sports Minister predecessor (closet Muslim and MP Sajid Javid), Whittingdale spouted all the right noises about the recently exposed FIFA corruption scandals and also had a long pedigree as Chairman of the culture and sports select committee. He was the right person to replace Javid, so Whittingdale was appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in May 2015. This Tory cunt John Whittingdale likes his football and has been outspoken about the game and how it should be governed since becoming a Conservative MP in 1992.
Hmm… Since 1992, clubs have gone into administration more than 50 times in English football. (coinsidence?)
He is in favour of scrapping the so-called “football creditors rule” and wants it abolished in England. (The rule means football clubs and players get preferential financial treatment when a team goes bust). Whittingdale says local football sponsors and creditors loose out by the current rule, because they go to the bottom of the queue to get any money back. (What he really means is big media and corporate sponsors loose out and should get the lions share of compensation when clubs go bust).
He is also in favour of a licensing scheme under the FA, which, he says, will address issues such as the financial management of the game, the sale of stadiums, investment in youth development and all the other areas where, understandably, concerns have been raised. It could also address ownership he says. ‘I am not against the principle of foreign ownership’, he said. (what is not explained is that clubs will be forced to pay big money to the government for their license; and, to keep their license, will also have to waste time, money and energy to make football an equal opportunities sport for ethnic minorities, obese fatties and of course to represent more women players).
Further, the cunt Whittingdale’s own ethics were called into question during London 2012 Olympics when he accepted complimentary tickets to the men’s 100 metres final despite a ban on freebie trips for ministers to the Games. He said the visit was justified because MPs had been scrutinising the event.
Well if anything needs sports wise scrutinising – it’s you Whittingdale, you fucking football-ing government bureaucrat cunt.
