Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has termed the possible sale of of Wembley a good thing for the well being of grassroot football and football in general for England.
“What we have in front of us is simply an opportunity to unleash an unprecedented amount of investment into community football. It is not selling the ‘soul of the game’. Nor is it a desperate action by a desperate organisation. We do not need to sell. There is no need for drama, emotive language or any ‘meltdowns’.” Glenn said.
According to FA, releasing money that is tied to the stadium would allow the governing body to channel £1bn into grassroots football over 10 years.
