FA LOOK INTO PROACTIVE

Last updated : 09 May 2003 By Editor
The Guardian report that the FA are now set to investigate
Proactive Sports Group and the links between the company and
several managers, including Kevin Keegan.

The League Managers Association (LMA) have called on all
managers to declare any potential conflict of interest in
order to prevent any further suspicion.

John Barnwell, chairman of the LMA, said:

"We are working on a register with the FA to make sure that
our members are above suspicion. The FA are driving this
forward and our members are right behind it,

"As long as managers involvement with agents is logged and
made transparent and accountable then we do not have a
problem with it. As a listed company Proactive is regulated
by the stock exchange and its shareholders. They have to
obey rules of compliance and due diligence which make it
impossible to do anything suspicious."
