From the Review of Football. The FA can also be criticised for being unrepresentative

The FA can also be criticised for being unrepresentative. Steve Lawrence wrote that, in
a Council of over 100 members:

There is only one representative for players, one representative for referees, one representative for football fans, there are no representatives for football coaches, and there are no representatives for the children or 1.5 million youth players.

Football involves players, coaches, referees, the parents of youth players and spectators. These stakeholders, some 7 million people according to the FA, are represented on the FA by 3 people out of a Council of 114. The FA is utterly unrepresentative of football.

The independent Manchester United Supporters Association felt that the FA Council was anachronistic, with a representative from each of the Armed Forces, the Public Schools, Oxford and Cambridge, but just one representative of the fans.
