Following the England football team’s 4-1 defeat by Germany in the World Cup on Sunday, Southend West Conservative MP has called for an investigation into English football.
Mr Amess is part of a group of MPs who are demanding changes in the way that football is run. He has called for “an urgent inquiry into the state of our national game” according to BBC News.
Mr Amess has tabled a Commons motion which calls England’s exit from the World Cup on Sunday “pathetic” and describes Premier League players as “grossly overpaid and under-performing.”
Another Conservative MP, Robert Halfon, has demanded that the FA board resign as soon as possible. Mr Halfon said that Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello were given “hugely expensive contracts with little result.”
Mr Halfon tabled a motion that called for changes at the Football Association, giving fans “more input in decision making.”
