Football Association 'does not have the STRENGTH to stand up to the Premier League' if it is allowed to be the regulator for football, insist clubs and fans after governing body claimed it was best placed to do the job

The FA would not have the strength to stand up to the Premier League if it was to become a new ‘independent’ regulator of the national game, insists a group of 34 clubs and fans.

The national body is too close to the top flight and EFL, according to Fair Game, a coalition of Football League and non-league clubs campaigning for change in football.

As revealed by Sportsmail last week, the FA has written to its Council members to inform them it wants to be the home of a new regulator, which could oversee the sharing of wealth and the financial management of clubs.
