English FA faces lawmakers’ no-confidence vote, reforms
LONDON — The English Football Association is facing a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons and the enforced overhaul of decision-making functions dominated by “elderly men.” British legislators made the announcement after being told by former FA leaders that the governing body’s failure to challenge the financial might of the Premier League contributes to the England team’s “embarrassing failures.”
In a letter to the parliamentary committee overseeing sport, five ex-FA executives called for the appointment of a football regulator to modernize their former employer and make it more representative of modern society.
