Guests included Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe and a number of key representatives from organisations such as the FA, the Premier League and the Football League. The postive press generated by the unveiling of the new centre comes as a welcome change from the current press coverage  Southampton Solent has been receiving after news that it was at the bottom of the league table in the Sunday Times University Guide.

The Lawrie McMenemy Football Research Centre (LMFRC) has been opened in recognition of the Solent’s reputation as a leading provider of football related academic study. The academic programmes at the University provide expert research and consultancy support for the football industry in a number of key areas – including management, and foreign player involvement.

McMenemy said:
“I’m honoured to put my name and lend my experience to a centre that will benefit the football industry.”

The centre looks set to change the fortune of the University. Hopefully, it will generate an entirely different outcome in next year’s league tables.
