Rejected petition The FA requires a radical overhaul
More details
In its running of the game (from the handling of disciplinary cases to the standard of refereeing), in how it spends its considerable resources to develop the game at grassroots levels, in its ability to choose the best man for the England managerial position, as well as in more general terms of transparency, conflicts of interest, internal procedures and accountability, my question is: does the FA require a drastic overhaul?
I personally think it does for the future of the game and the fans who love it. It's also about time we were given a World Cup!
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
In response to the Select Committee report into football governance, the Government recommended significant reform of the FA’s Board and Council.
However, it is for the football authorities to determine the best way of achieving the right changes.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
