Rejected petition Stop funding of the FA until the Chairman & CEO are replaced by football people.
This is the only way I can think of to stop the abject mismanagement of English football. The CEO Martin Glenn announced that his is "not a football expert" after the Iceland defeat - SERIOUSLY! We need football people in charge of football matters to cease the sad decline of OUR beautiful game.
More details
The nation still mourns - forget BREXIT, we lost to Iceland 2-1 out yet again from another tournament. The appointment of Roy Hodgson was a disaster from the start and a safe one by the FA who failed to pick the right man because they didn't like him - Harry Rednapp should have been appointed, something most of the nation wanted.
The England team need an English manager to put some fire in their bellies, some English pride not another grey suit with little substance who the FA feel is safe!!
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government does not fund the FA. It is a self-funding body whose primary source of revenue is television rights to England international football matches and the FA cup.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
