The end of the gravy train for the FA. It may come as surprise to some but apparently the FA gets a 25m subsidy from the government. That is correct the FA the richest football association gets money from one of the most broke governments on the planet. The money is received so that the FA will develop the game. Does this happen, no it does not. The FA takes its money promotes itself, funds junkets around the world then disappears.
The UK has the highest childhood obesity rates in the world after the USA and Australia. The national FA is more concerned with selling its brand to the world so more people will sit on the couch, watch football and not play.
Finally the sports minister has said that the FA has been wasting money. It is not developing the game. It is looking after the professional brand and that is it. Take the subsidy away and give it to school playing fields.
