The die-hard Manchester United fan is among the contenders to replace Greg Clarke as FA chairman, Sky News learns.

Lord O'Neill's presence on the shortlist underlines the prestigious nature of the FA role, despite the organisation's current challenges.

He stepped down from the role not long after the EU referendum, devoting substantial amounts of his time to a landmark review that he oversaw on tackling antimicrobial resistance, and to the formation of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, where he sits on the board. The game was rocked last autumn by the emergence of Project Big Picture, a blueprint drawn up by the Premier League's biggest clubs that would have radically altered the structure of English professional football.

Stop splashing cash around like some even worse version of Jeremy Corbyn, cut taxes and revitalise the economy. Tax and spend should not be Conservative policy. The only fair policy is for those who supported the unjustified lockdown to foot the bill. Leave the rest of us alone.
