Speaking in Brussels prior to the Nations League draw, Mark Bullingham, the FA chief executive, refused to comment on the Ratcliffe row. “I can’t comment too much on that,” he said. Obviously it’s a matter that our legal and regulation team are working to.”

Rule E3.1 in the FA rules states figures “must act in the game’s best interests and not act improperly or bring the game into disrepute, covering abusive, violent, or insulting behaviour”. It is a broad charge used for misconduct that damages the reputation of football, such as improper media comments.
