FA Stands To Lose $43M Over Reform Vetoes; Chair Suggests 'Radical Change'

FA Chair Greg Dyke has written to FA councilors to "warn them they are now at the mercy of the Government after blocking his reform agenda," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. And the "strong likelihood is that from next year the FA will lose" its £30M ($43.5M) of grassroots public money after failing to modernize its "outdated council." Dyke told the blazers in his email sent on Tuesday that the FA board has been advised that the Government is "taking a close interest in sports governance and will be issuing guidelines." These will "take the form of a governance code for sports bodies, to be brought in later this year, with which the FA will clearly be non-compliant after failing to agree any proposals for reform whatsoever." Dyke said, "We do need radical change, but it was always doubtful it would go through. It’s sad." The blazers will "only have themselves to blame" if the FA finds itself out of pocket by £30M over the next four years (DAILY MAIL, 5/3).
