Wembley roof remains a major headache for the FA ahead of the stadium’s proposed sale to Fulham owner Shahid Khan, with wholesale repairs needed that are only 14 per cent done.

At this rate, the work will take 10 years to finish because it can only take place when the stadium is not staging events. tottenham’s tenancy, plus the summer concert programme, means there have been few gaps in the calendar.

Meanwhile FA chief executive Martin Glenn chose to use an autocue for his speech to councillors about the Wembley sale this week. FA chairman Greg Clarke does the same even when he’s only thanking a few sponsors.
