      FA boss urges Premier League clubs to rethink five-sub rule with teams set to reject plans for THIRD time

      by

      FA CHIEF Mark Bullingham has urged Prem clubs to stage a rethink on Thursday – and bring back the five substitute rule.
      Prem clubs are expected to reject the Big Six-backed proposal for a THIRD time at their final ‘shareholders’ meeting of the year.

      That is despite a strong plea from PFA boss Gordon Taylor, who argued it was ‘paramount in the interests of player welfare and health and safety’.
      But after football’s law-making body Ifab agreed to extend the ‘temporary’ use of five substitutes through to the end of 2021 for club sides and July 2022 for international football, Wembley chief executive Bullingham put pressure on the Prem.
      The Professional Game Board, including three Prem clubs and interim League chairman Peter McCormick, unanimously backed allowing five subs in the FA Cup next month and Bullingham said: “I am surprised the Premier League has not brought it in.
      “It’s been signed off by Ifab and we expected all the leading leagues to sign it off because of the congested season and lack of a proper pre-season.”

      Bullingham added: “The reason we want it in the competition is player welfare. 
      “We recognise it’s been a short pre-season, we recognise we’re in a very congested season now and we feel it’s appropriate to have the ability to have five substitutes.
      “In terms of the Premier League, that’s obviously something for the clubs to decide on.
      “Would we prefer it if the Premier League brought in five subs? Yes, we would prefer it.

      “But it’s not our decision. We understand people’s reluctance to bring something in mid-season but our preference would be to see five subs.”
      The FA and Prem will be aligned with the introduction of permanent concussion substitutions, as part of a Fifa trial, from the start of next year.
      Thursday’s meeting will see the Prem adopt a model allowing teams up to two extra substitution for head injuries, with the opposing team also granted matched replacements, after Ifab gave the green light.
      The decision was criticised with neurologist Willie Stewart, who has conducted major research on dementia, dismissing it as ‘putting lipstick on a pig’.
      Luke Griggs of the brain injury charity Headway questioned whether safety might be put more at risk than if teams were allowed temporary changes, allowing players to be assessed.
      He said: “A temporary concussion substitution allows the player to be assessed off the pitch, in a quiet, appropriate treatment room away from the heat of battle and the glare of players, officials, coaches and fans.
      “We know how difficult it can be for club medics to make concussion assessments on or at the side of the pitch, particularly in such a short space of time or when there are language barriers.”
      But Ifab technical head and former leading FA referee David Elleray insisted: “If you have temporary substitutes, the players often want to go back on and that could be more of a risk than taking them out permanently.”

      We think the model where you can have substitutes coming on for the other team is fairer
      Mark Bullingham

      The new Law means each side in FA Cup action could, theoretically, make EIGHT changes if there are two head injuries in a match that goes to extra time.
      But Bullingham insisted: “We think the model where you can have substitutes coming on for the other team is fairer. 
      “We don’t think that the team should gain advantage from someone going off with a suspected concussion. That’s basically where we settled out on that.”

      Edinson Cavani still facing a minimum three-game ban for ‘negrito’ comment despite Man Utd star making public apology

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI still faces a three-match ban despite making a public apology for his ‘negrito’ Instagram comment.
      Manchester United’s new Uruguayan strike ace said sorry for his social media post.

      Edinson Cavani has issued an apology after posting a ‘racist’ term on social mediaCredit: AFP or licensors

      The Uruguayan used the term on his Instagram story on Sunday night as the FA launched a probe

      In a statement issued by the club, Cavani said: “The message I posted after the game on Sunday was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend, thanking him for his congratulations after the game.
      “The last thing I wanted to do was cause offence to anyone.
      “I am completely opposed to racism and deleted the message as soon as it was explained that it can be interpreted differently. I would like to sincerely apologise for this.”
      Cavani found himself in hot water for the comment which followed his injury-time winner at Southampton on Sunday.

      The Uruguayan answered a a fan who posted a message of ‘asi te quiero matador’ – ‘I love you, matador’ – with the phrase: “Gracias negrito.”
      Under FA regulations, using a discriminatory word, regardless of context, leaves the South American open to a charge.
      United jumped to Cavani’s defence, insisting: “It is clear to us that there was absolutely no malicious intent behind Edinson’s message and he deleted it as soon as he was informed that it could be misconstrued.
      “Edinson has issued an apology for any unintentional offence caused.

      “Manchester United and all of our players are fully committed to the fight against racism.”
      But that seems unlikely to avoid the prospect of action, which leaves the striker facing an automatic three-game ban if found guilty.
      New regulations, brought in by the FA in August, distinguish between language used on and off the pitch, including on social media.
      The rules, sent out to all clubs and players – via the PFA – state: “Where an offence is in writing only or via any communication device the absolute minimum match-based sanction in such cases will be three games.”
      Under FA guidelines, disciplinary chiefs have until close of business on Wednesday to decide whether to charge or contact Cavani to ask for his observations.
      The FA would then have until next Monday to actually issue the charge, with a hearing then being scheduled before December 21, with a commission to determine any punishment needed.
      It means, unless there was a charge and immediate guilty plea, that Cavani will be available for the weekend game with West Ham and the Manchester derby against City on December 12.
      He is also likely to be free to play United’s next two Premier League games, at Sheffield United in the first midweek fixture of the season and the clash with Leeds on December 20.
      Any ban would then kick in for the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Everton on December 23, with Cavani getting Christmas off and missing the games against Leicester on Boxing Day and home to Wolves three days later.

      Man Utd ace Cavani sorry for ‘racist’ post after Southampton win and insists it was ‘affectionate greeting to a friend’

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI has apologised for the ‘racist’ social media post he sent as he celebrated the win over Southampton.
      The Manchester United striker, 33, took to Instagram on Sunday night and replied to a comment with ‘Gracias Negrito!’.

      The Uruguayan used the term on his Instagram story on Sunday night as the FA launched a probe

      The FA launched an investigation into the use of the word – the same one which landed his international team-mate Luis Suarez an eight-match ban – with a three-match ban on the cards for the Uruguayan.
      Cavani deleted the post from his story and has now issued an apology – claiming it was an ‘affectionate greeting to a friend’.
      He forward – who scored twice in a 3-2 comeback victory – said in a statement: “The message I posted after the game on Sunday was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend, thanking him for his congratulations after the game.
      “The last thing I wanted to do was cause offence to anyone.

      “I am completely opposed to racism and deleted the message as soon as it was explained that it can be interpreted differently. I would like to sincerely apologise for this.”
      Manchester United added: “It is clear to us that there was absolutely no malicious intent behind Edinson’s message and he deleted it as soon as he was informed that it could be misconstrued.
      “Edinson has issued an apology for any unintentional offence caused.
      “Manchester United and all of our players are fully committed to the fight against racism.”

      The FA launched a new crackdown on discriminatory conduct in August, following on the bans for social media comments issued to Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Tottenham’s Dele Alli.
      Under the new guidelines, the FA must act where ‘discriminatory’ language has been used.
      The FA rules, sent out to all clubs and players – via the PFA – state: “Where an offence is in writing only or via any communication device the absolute minimum match-based sanction in such cases will be three games.”
      Wembley bosses began their probe last night when they were made aware of the comments and now have until Wednesday evening to decide whether to charge or contact Cavani to ask for his observations.
      The FA would then have until next Monday to actually issue the charge, with a hearing then being scheduled before December 21, with a commission to determine any punishment needed.
      It means, unless there was a charge and immediate guilty plea, that Cavani will be available for this weekend’s game with West Ham and the Manchester derby against City on December 12.

      Anton Ferdinand reveals he was made to feel like the guilty party by the FA after John Terry racism row

      by

      ANTON FERDINAND felt like the guilty man during a meeting with FA officials investigating his race row with John Terry.
      The former QPR defender is finally opening up on his infamous run-in with the Chelsea captain more than nine years ago.

      Anton Ferdinand has opened up on his racism ordeal

      Terry was cleared in court but convicted by the FA of using insulting language referencing skin colour during the stormy London derby in 2011.
      Ferdinand was called upon to provide a statement in the aftermath and remains bitter about his treatment.
      The 35-year-old said: “I just wanted the FA to deal with it. All I wanted to do was play football.
      “The FA got involved and I was happy. They needed a statement from me.

      “I was sitting in a room with two FA delegates and they were probing me. Probing me?
      “They were starting to make me feel like I was in the wrong.
      “All I know is I didn’t feel like the victim in that room.”
      Ferdinand has made a documentary with the BBC, Anton Ferdinand: Football, Racism and Me.

      John Terry was found guilty of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand by the FACredit: PA:Press Association

      The ex-West Ham and Sunderland defender feels he would have been labelled a ‘stereotypical angry black man’ if he’d spoken up at the time.
      He does admit firing the first insult during the clash by taunting Terry over claims he had bedded Chelsea left-back Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend.
      Ferdinand revealed: “I said, ‘You sh***ed your team-mate’s missus, you are a c-word’.
      “It was a rumour then and I was trying to rile him up.
      “I’m not proud of what I said to him.
      “On a football pitch, sometimes your emotions are invested and you want to say things that hurt people. It’s a game of egos.”
      Terry was cleared of racist abuse in court but later convicted by the football authorities, banned for four games, fined £220,000 and stripped of the England captaincy.
      Ferdinand said: “Because I’ve never spoken about it, I don’t think I quite understand what I went through and I need to come to terms with that, not just as a footballer but as a person. I had no idea that anything had occurred on the pitch. Everyone was just buzzing that we’d beaten Chelsea.

      He said, ‘You f***ing black c***, you f***ing love it’. I couldn’t believe my eyes
      Anton Ferdinand

      “My mum said, ‘Anton, are you OK?’ I said, ‘Yes, of course’.
      “My wife says, ‘Then you’d better have a look at this and hands me her brother’s phone.
      “This is the first time I’m seeing it. I’m looking at the phone and rage just came over me.
      “You know when they say your blood boils. It just hit me.
      “He said, ‘You f***ing black c***, you f***ing love it’. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
      “I got booed everywhere I went after he lost the England captaincy.
      “The abuse on social media started immediately and never stopped.
      “I’d wake up and expect there to be racial abuse on my phone.

      “All that love I had for the game was just ripped out of me. I hated the game, what it stood for.
      “I couldn’t retaliate. I had to be professional. Shut up and deal with it.
      “Where does that go? Where is that release? You can’t deal with it as a human being then.
      “I could stand here be macho and say I wasn’t traumatised. But I was.”
      Terry, who is now assistant head coach at Aston Villa, admitted using the words but was acquitted because of his explanation that they were phrased as a question, rather than as a direct insult.
      The pair have not spoken since.
      Ferdinand wants a meeting so they can both get closure on a momentary exchange which shook sport.
      He added: “I watched John Terry take a knee. Fair play to him because he got a backlash on social media and called a hypocrite.

      “He’s doomed if he does and doomed if he doesn’t. I hope that him showing that comes from a good place.
      “But don’t just take a knee, come and talk about it.”
      Earlier this month, Terry’s former Chelsea team-mate Carlton Cole claimed he had confessed to using the racist language in ‘a moment of madness’.
      But a statement from Terry’s lawyers said:  “John Terry refutes in the strongest possible terms the allegations that are made against him by Carlton Cole.
      “They are false and never happened and Mr Terry has previously been cleared of these allegations in an English court of law.
      “Never before has Carlton Cole mentioned this to Mr Terry or raised any issue of this type with him, the FA or the police.
      “The reason for that is because the words were not said.”

      Preston’s Darnell Fisher facing three-game ban as FA charge defender for ‘grabbing Callum Paterson’s genitals’

      by

      PRESTON’S Darnell Fisher is facing a three-game ban after being charged by the FA for ‘grabbing a player’s genitals.’
      Fisher was allegedly caught by match footage grabbing at the genital area of Callum Paterson during Preston’s 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

      This still from the game appears to show Darnell Fisher grabbing Callum Paterson’s privatesCredit: Sky Sports

      And a statement from the FA read: “It is alleged that an incident during the 62nd minute of the fixture, which was not seen by the match officials at the time but caught on camera, constitutes a breach of FA Rule E3.”
      Preston have acknowledged the charge, and must decide whether they will accept it or appeal by 6pm today.
      Video of Fisher’s grope – similar to Vinnie Jones’ infamous “tackle” on Paul Gascoigne – during Preston’s 1-0 Championship triumph went viral.
      Looking to get touch-tight on Paterson on a corner, the 26-year-old seemed to cop a feel of the Scotsman’s private parts on a two occasions.

      Former Cardiff forward Paterson looked incredibly confused as to what happened and looked to see if anyone had witnessed the alleged grope.
      Owls boss Tony Pulis said: “I haven’t seen it but I’m sure, with everybody on social media, he’ll be up in flames if he’s done that.”
      North End goal scorer Tom Barkhuizen joked about the act when asked about what happened.

      He replied: “Darnell is a good ball player.”

      Earlier this year, England prop Joe Marler was banned for 10 weeks after grabbing the genital area of Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones.
      And in August, Super League and St Helens star Tommy Makinson was suspended for five matches for a similar incident involving Castleford’s Liam Watts. More

      Ex-Fulham star Liam Rosenior part of six-person panel to help find successor to disgraced FA chairman Greg Clarke

      But Wembley chief executive Mark Bullingham has revealed he believes it is unlikely that the next head of the FA will be a former player.
      Paul Elliott, Les Ferdinand and even Gary Lineker have been suggested as potential candidates to become the public face of the FA.
      But Bullingham said: “There are two main areas of the role. 
      “One is to be an absolutely brilliant ambassador and represent us on both the international and domestic stage.

      “I think players can absolutely do that. But there’s a second requirement to run the board of the FA. 
      “We have a complex stakeholder board and it’s hard to see that someone who has never run a board would be able to step in and run a complex stakeholder board of a £450million organisation with 760 employees. 
      “We are doing a board review and I would love to have player representation on the board.
      “But if you are asking me if that has to be the chair role, my personal answer would be no.”

      Bullingham confirmed the post would be advertised next month, with a shortlist compiled early in the new year and the hope that the appointment would be announced by the spring.
      The recruitment panel, which includes interim chairman Peter McCormick, will be headed by Stacey Cartwright, whose boardroom roles include running Harvey Nicholls.
      Bullingham said he was ‘delighted’ to have co-opted Derby coach Rosenior ‘who represents players and coaches’.
      Clarke’s enforced resignation, after comments to a Commons Select Committee which were condemned for racism, homophobia and misogyny, has led to an expectation that the FA would favour a minority candidate.
      But Bullingham, who insisted Clarke’s statements ‘do not reflect the modern organisation we are today, our diverse game and our diverse workforce’, maintained that was not the case.
      He added: “I would hope that is not the public expectation.
      “We have been really clear that we absolutely want to have a diverse shortlist and then choose the best candidate from that.
      “I think anybody from the disadvantaged communities would be asking for the same.
      “Over the past week we’ve had over twenty search companies come forward with potential candidates.
      “We’re very excited about the level of candidates that we are going to get for this role.”

      The FA need to pick a brave new leader and not just tick a box after Greg Clarke embarrassment, says Marvin Sordell

      by

      THE IDEA that Greg Clarke’s derogatory comments were a ‘mistake’ sits extremely uneasily with Marvin Sordell.
      Ex-Premier League player Sordell’s battles with mental health saw him overcome by crippling depression, which culminated in a suicide attempt back in 2013. 

      Marvin Sordell, who is part of the FA Inclusion Advisory Board, finds it hard to believe Greg Clarke’s comments were a ‘mistake’Credit: Dave Pinegar – The Sun

      It led to the decision to retire from the game aged just 28. 
      But his work and words off the field since then have seen him develop into one of the most important, inspiring and influential voices in the game today.
      As such, he has recently joined the FA Inclusion Advisory Board that looks to improve diversity within the sport, and indeed society, and has sat in on Zoom meetings with Clarke amid others.
      Sordell doesn’t know Clarke personally, but from his numerous experiences of being racially and verbally targeted throughout his footballing career, he knows the difference between slips of the tongue and preconceived notions.

      And with Clarke, who insulted black, female and gay players within one sitting with MPs this week, Sordell believes it is just the tip of the iceberg.
      Sordell said: “I find it hard to say that Clarke’s comments were a ‘mistake’.
      “Those are the words that came to his mind and that’s obviously what he thinks.
      “People have these preconceived notions about demographics and want to label them as this or that and that’s just as bad as using specific terminology. 

      “Some will focus on the certain words he used and argue they are not in themselves derogatory.
      “But if you are making someone feel like a lesser person or that they are capable of less, then that is just as damaging.
      “This isn’t just one person, though. It is a collective mindset of people at that level and that’s something that reflects across society.
      “If that collective still feel the same as the person that has just left then it doesn’t really make a difference.”
      The search to find Clarke’s replacement will be met with severe scrutiny, with many rightly seeing this as a chance to not only fill a hole, but to enforce a trickle-down effect throughout the entire FA.
      Sordell continued: “His replacement, whether they are male, female, black, white, Asian – the demographic doesn’t matter – needs to be brave enough to be a leader.
      “They will need to challenge and question those around them and steer the ship in the right direction. They need to have the want and the desire to lead in the right way, such as with racism that still exists within football.
      “Has the Black Lives Matter campaign had an impact? What was the intended impact? Players are still being abused on social media.

      He has called for the FA to bring in a brave new leader after Greg Clarke’s embarrassment Credit: PA:Press Association
      “At the moment we are wanting to try and fix racism with one stroke of a brush, but that is not possible.
      “It is something that has happened for hundreds of years now and it cannot just be stopped dead with a couple of weeks of campaigning. It is about educating more than anything else. 
      “Seeing the players take the knee before kick-off in every game was a very strong message, but if they continue to do it now, will it still have the same impact? Have we moved on anywhere? Where are we now?
      “What I do know is that players are still getting abused.”
      Sordell added: “I know myself and other members of ethnic minority groups will see a lot of names of people from our communities chucked into the hat for the role, and a lot of people will question that.
      “I have had a few meetings with the Inclusion Advisory board talking about the diversity code and what the FA are doing to move things forward. It has been difficult to see progress so far with the impacts of Covid.
      “But I don’t want someone to be appointed to make me happy or tick a box. That isn’t going to help. As long as they are very strong, assured and clear in their objectives then that is a step forward.
      “If someone like that doesn’t come in, then Clarke may as well have not resigned.”

      Disgraced Greg Clarke quits £190k-a-year Fifa vice-president job after resigning as FA chairman

      by

      DISGRACED former FA chairman Greg Clarke has resigned from his £190,000-a-year job with Fifa.
      Clarke, forced to quit his Wembley role after a car-crash appearance before MPs on Monday, had wanted to keep his role on the Fifa Council until March.

      The ex-Wembley chief claimed he had been asked to stay on by Uefa boss Aleksander Ceferin to ensure that European football did not lose a vote on any contentious issues arising over the coming months.
      But Uefa’s own rulebook says that the European governing body has the right to elect a replacement for any vice-president or council member who leaves their position.
      And in a statement, Uefa confirmed: “Following a telephone call this morning between the Uefa President and Greg Clarke, they agreed with Greg Clarke’s proposal that he should step down with immediate effect from his position as a Uefa representative on Fifa Council.”
      The U-turn came just hours after Clarke told Sky Sports News: “I am staying purely at the request of Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin.”

      It was claimed that Ceferin, still locked in a bitter power battle with Fifa president Gianni Infantino and who has formed a strategic alliance with South American chiefs on a number of proposals, was concerned at losing one of his bloc’s eight votes on the 37-member Council.
      There was a suggestion that Ceferin’s willingness to keep Clarke on for four months was a repayment for the FA chairman’s vote in favour of Colombia’s bid to stage the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
      That came despite Fifa’s official bid team strongly coming down on the side of the winning bid from Australia and New Zealand, with Clarke taking flak from both nations for seemingly ignoring the strong links between the Antipodean countries and the UK.
      But it then emerged that Uefa’s own rulebook DID allow them to replace Clarke – and, in fact, demanded they do so if he stood down.

      Article 5 of Uefa Statutes reads: “If a Vice-President  or a person elected to the Fifa Council vacates his position during his term of office, the Uefa Executive Committee shall elect a replacement for the remaining period until the next Congress.”
      Clarke’s departure now puts the onus on Ceferin to name his replacement ahead of the next Fifa Council meeting due in a few weeks.
      The likeliest short-term option would be to ask Uefa Treasurer and former Manchester United chief executive David Gill – who stepped down from the former ruling Fifa executive committee in 2015 in a protest at the rule of Sepp Blatter – to fill the void.
      There are only a handful of Fifa meetings due between now and March, although Gill has already signalled he intends to stand down from his current Uefa post at the Congress.
      That will give time for the FA to find a candidate for the remaining two years of Clarke’s mandate.
      All 55 Uefa member nations are allowed to vote on the British seat, which saw Clarke see off a challenge by Northern Ireland’s David Martin in 2019.
      But Ceferin has previously indicated he believes England should represent the UK rather than the seat being filled by someone from Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
      That will be even more critical with England being the leader of the planned British Isles 2030 World Cup bid, with the vote currently due to be held in 2023.

      What he said wasn’t acceptable and there was no alternative but for him to go
      Gareth Southgate on Greg Clarke

      Clarke resigned as FA chairman on Tuesday following the grilling in front of Parliament.
      The 63-year-old was forced into two public apologies after making reference to ‘coloured footballers’ and then suggesting that being gay was a lifestyle choice.
      Upon quitting, he said: “My unacceptable words in front of Parliament were a disservice to our game and to those who watch, play, referee and administer it. This has crystallised my resolve to move on. 
      “I am deeply saddened that I have offended those diverse communities in football that I and others worked so hard to include.”
      England boss Gareth Southgate said there was ‘no alternative’ but for Clarke to step away.
      Speaking ahead of his side’s clash with Ireland, he said: “We can’t just keep standing in front of the cameras talking about change. We are seeing a lot of change in society and football needs to be at the front of that.
      “What’s a shame for him [Clarke] is he has done a lot of work behind the scenes to support the diversity code and make inroads into relationships around Europe.
      “But what he said wasn’t acceptable and there was no alternative but for him to go.”
