Football Association Chairman Greg Clarke has stated he will leave
his role if the government do not support his proposed reforms to the
body.
The House of Commons is to debate a motion of no confidence in the
FA on Thursday, with Clarke admitting the organisation requires
significant reform.
Clarke said the FA had a set of proposals "to improve our
governance", which it would ratify and then take to sports minister
Tracey Crouch for her approval.
"Delivering real change is my responsibility and I firmly believe this is critical for the future of the game," Clarke added.
"If the government is not supportive of the changes when they are
presented in the coming months, I will take personal responsibility for
that.
"I will have failed. I will be accountable for that failure and would in due course step down from my role."
