Back in 2001 Ex BBC director-general Greg Dyke described the corporation as being "hideously white".
Now he is amongst those who are saying "The Football Association is stuck in the past and being held back deliberately by "elderly white men".
/// Five former FA executives - Greg Dyke, David Bernstein, David Triesman, David Davies and Alex Horne - have called on Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee to propose legislation to reform the FA. They say it is outdated, unable to counter the power of the Premier League and held back by "elderly white men". ///
It may be the case, but would they have been allowed to say it, if they had been 'elderly black men'?

I am not sure what they are supposed to do AOG.
But I know what they haven't done, and that is to take the security and protection of hundreds and possibly thousands of vulnerable your boys and men seriously.
Instead, that have covered up and protected scouts and coaches that were successful in bringing them good football talent, whilst ignoring the harm that some of those same scouts and coaches were doing to young lives.
And it was all done in the pursuit of money.

I was just looking for examples of "elderly black men" Zeuhl. If those potential possible fine upright candidates are not suitable how about Germany,(Beckenbauer) France, (Platini) Russia(Putin) Qatar( all of em) as an alternative. I am sure the FA has a lot to learn in the corruption business, we may as have qualified people after all.
"It may be the case, but would they have been allowed to say it, if they had been 'elderly black men'?"
Who knows?
We aren't at a point where there are any elderly black men in the upper echelons on football administration to make a comparison.
One would not like to make any allusions to the current issues facing the FA right now, so I think it's best to leave race aside.
