Britain's sports minister says football is England's worst governed sport.
Hugh Robertson told the House of Commons on Thursday that the game was in need of urgent reform but said the government would wait to see the outcome of an investigation by a committee of legislators.
Robertson said ''if you look across sport, it is very clear to me that football is the worst governed sport in this country.''
He added that the ''levels of corporate governance that apply to football ... lag far behind other sports.''

Robertson was responding to a question by Philip Hollobone, the Conservative Party legislator who told parliament ''Premier League clubs are hugely in debt, our national football team is ... a disgrace.''
