Thursday, February 9, 2017
The Football Association has received a vote of no confidence from MPs, amid calls for the Government to introduce laws to force it to reform.
Senior Conservative Damian Collins suggested ministers should intervene to overhaul English football's governing body because "turkeys won't vote for Christmas" and it will not reform itself.
FA chairman Greg Clarke has promised to step down if he fails to convince Sports Minister Tracey Crouch that the organisation is determined to make changes.
Ms Crouch described the vote of no confidence, which is non-binding, as "premature".
The cross-party motion stated that MPs have no confidence in the FA's ability to comply fully with its duties as its existing governance structures make it "impossible for the organisation to reform itself".
It was approved unopposed at the end of a backbench business debate, which was attended by fewer than 30 MPs wow greate for uefa
