I heard that he had resigned and thought he must have said something really awful . Now I hear that he used the word coloured . Well the world has gone mad . I regularly hear the term coloured being used when people are referring to black / mixed race or Asians . There is so much confusion and it creates a minefield for us whites , yes in the eyes of the liberal lefties only us whites can be racist when it's a small slip of the tongue . Here is a question , Meghan Sussex goes on about being black and a woman of colour but if I had to describe her I would say she was white with maybe a Mediterranean complexion. There I have put my foot in it.

It appears that Mr Clarke was a little bit naughtier than I first heard . It's a U turn from me , he deserved to go .

“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 the FIFA Council.” - UEFA statement

Originally UEFA wanted him to stop on with them to maintain their voting power within FIFA and didn't agree he should step down. Unbelievable.
 
I have always felt that Clarke was a bit of a dinosaur and I just feel what he has said must be worse than just referring to someone as being coloured. Maybe what he said was worse, but have released the less offensive part of what he said if he agreed to steps down, in order to save him embarrassment as well as the FA?

They really do need to appoint someone younger and more in touch with the current climate, but someone that will uphold the traditions of the whole football league.

Liam Rossenior would do a great job IMO.

They haven't just released something he said. It was in front of a Select Committee and fully reported and minuted.

She is 72. Obviously going for youth. Hasn't done bad for a PE teacher. Someone must rate her, CBE, made a Dame. Involved with football for a whole 3 years or so.

"Campbell has received the following Honorary academic degrees: Hon Doctorate of Education from the Council for National Academic Awards 1992, Hon Doctorate of Science from the University of Brighton 1993, Hon Doctorate of Education from De Montfort University 1996, Hon Doctorate of Technology from the University of Loughborough 1997, Hon Doctorate of Education from the University of Leicester 2000, Hon Doctorate of Sport Science from the Leeds Metropolitan University 2006, Hon Doctorate of Law from the University of Exeter 2010, Hon Doctor of Humane Letters Endicott College Boston USA 2011, Hon Doctorate of Art from the Bedfordfordshire University 2011, Hon Doctorate for Exceptional Service to Sport from the Queen's University 2013, Hon Degree of Science from the Nottingham Trent University 2016."
 
Hopefully she will not a be greedy, money-grabbing, plastic-favouring **** like most of the rest of the big-hitters who have leeched onto our game.

Seems that one is a no go - "At 72, Baroness Sue Campbell is over the FA Council’s age limit for the position, which they refused to lift to permit David Bernstein to stay on seven years ago".
