Greg Clarke resigned as FA chairman on Tuesday after he used the phrase "coloured footballers" while giving evidence to MPs. Former FA chairman David Bernstein told Sky Sports News he does not have total confidence the shortlist will be diverse and inclusive but Bullingham says they will follow the Diversity Code. Bullingham added: "Greg Clarke stepped down from the role as FA chairman yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, acknowledging that some of his words in the Select Committee hearing were unacceptable and offensive. "Our published 'In Pursuit of Progress' plan has helped us to create a far more inclusive and diverse organisation," he said. I don't think Greg [Clarke] has pushed it any further.
