FA unanimously approves proposed reforms
The FA has announced that its council has unanimously approved a package of reforms proposed by chairman Greg Clarke.
The key vote took place after little more than an hour of a meeting at Wembley and the plans now go forward to the FA's annual general meeting on May 18, when they will need a 75 per cent majority for approval.
The reforms are a response to government pressure after decades of inertia and, if they meet shareholder approval, will represent a major triumph for FA chairman Greg Clarke and sports minister Tracey Crouch.
