==Controversy== The British Government expressed concern in 2016 over the governance of the FA, which receives £30 million p.a. public funding, as only eight women and four black and ethnic minorities are on the 122 strong FA Council. A proposal for reform was tabled in February 2017 by Greg Clarke, Chairman of the FA. Mr Clarke has threatened to resign if his reform proposals are not accepted.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.sky.com/story/fa-chairman-greg-clarke-threatens-to-resign-over-reform-10759884 |title=FA chairman Greg Clarke threatens to resign over reform |publisher=Sky News |date=7 February 2017}}</ref>
