Stage Competitive Home Internationals Next Summer - Mulholland

November 8, 2007 1:15 PM

Following England's failure to qualify for the European Championships, Leeds MP Greg Mulholland has co-sponsored an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons this morning calling for competitive home internationals to be introduced for next summer to give fans something to look forward to, and a top-quality manager to be appointed to take control of the national side.

Commenting Greg said

"We should stage competitive home internationals for next summer to at least give fans of the home nations something to look forward to.

"These matches would provide an excellent competitive environment in which to build the national teams of the home nations, ahead of the World Cup in 2010."

"We also need a top quality manager to take control of the English national side. Whilst it would be nice to be able to have an Englishman, what matters is that we pick the right person to take English football back to being world beaters and to do that we must pick the best candidate."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
