Football League managers to take part in TV debates

Managers from the Football League agree to take part in 'Question Time'-style debates for television and radio.

Managers from all four of the Football League's divisions have agreed to take part in televised debates similar to 'Question Time'.

The League Managers Association devised the formula for the debates, which will be broadcast on BBC Radio, Sky Sports and BT Sport in front of a studio audience.

LMA chief executive Richard Bevan told Telegraph Sport: "We are conscious that our members do not often talk about the technical aspects of the game. They have a two-three minute moment in pre- and post-match interviews and we want to get across the views of our members.

"We are then going to launch a series of programmes, Sky, BT and BBC radio have all agreed, and what we are going to do is a live 'Question Time'-style programme. The first one is going to be on radio and hopefully by the end of May. There are going to be four managers, one from each league, but we might also bring in other sports.

"So, for example, if we are going to talk about technical areas then if a broadcaster interviews a manager on technical areas he is probably going to give him a minute or two but if we debate it we can have 25-30 minutes on the subject. I went out to the members and asked them if they were willing to support and we were overwhelmed with the appetite."

Some of the programmes will be held at The FA's national football centre, St George's Park, near Burton-on-Trent.
