Football Association (FA) chair Greg Clarke has issued an ultimatum to the government ahead of today’s debate: back my proposals or I quit.

MPs will debate a motion of “no confidence” in the FA’s ability to reform itself and meet its duties as a governing body, with critics accusing the association of a lack of diversity and unhappy with its antiquated structure.

Clarke refused to accept that the FA is “failing football” but did acknowledge that “our governance needs changing.”
