Time for Football Associations to get tough.

[Workingman]

It took a while but I eventually got it.

I see that the Italian Football Federation has changed the rules so that any club signing up to play in a league not authorised by FIFA or UEFA will be banned from Serie A and its cup competitions. Well done them.

Now it's time for the FA and others to follow suit.

So the FA chickened out.

They have a new rule:

/All owners will have to sign up to the new rule "committing them to the core principles" of the league with breaches punished by "significant" sanctions.'

Meaningless twaddle. No surprises there, then.
