FA chairman Greg Dyke has made mistakes regarding FA Commission says former chief Mark Palios
Dyke's 10-man panel has come in for heavy criticism but
former FA chief executive feels there's been too much focus on
personalities
Matt Lewis - The FA
Former FA chief executive Mark Palios believes that chairman Greg
Dyke has made mistakes in the implementation of his newly-formed FA
Commission.
However, Palios feels that too much focus has been placed on the personalities that will make up the 10-man panel when the importance of the affair should simply regard how to tackle the problems of the national side.
Since unveiling the commission and naming names, Dyke has come under heavy scrutiny for a number of reasons, including a lack of representation for ethnic minorities and for seemingly sticking with an 'old boys' mentality, lacking in fresh ideas.
Heather Rabbatts, the FA's only female board member, Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley and the likes of former England player's Gary Lineker, Stan Collymore and John Barnes have all voiced their displeasure at the Commission, selected by Dyke.
Nonetheless, Palios, who resigned from his role with the FA following revelations about his private life in 2004, thinks that while Dyke has made mistakes, the actual 'names' on the commission aren't all that important anyway.

"I’m not really concerned who the personalities are on the commission," said Palios, speaking to TalkSPORT.
"What’s important is the brief that’s given to the commission.
"It’s important to note that it’s not the commission that will do the work, it’s the people pulling all the stuff together.
"The
trouble is that everyone gets focused on the personalities on the
commission. People are saying, ‘he should be in, she should be in’.
"Even
Greg Dyke would admit it’s not been implemented in the way he’d have
liked and he’s made mistakes in the way he’s made the announcements,
etc."
Joining Dyke on the panel are Manchester United
defender Rio Ferdinand, England manager Roy Hodgson, FA vice-chairman
Roger Burden, former England manager Glenn Hoddle, ex-England defender
Danny Mills, League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson,
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Ritchie Humphreys,
Football League chairman Greg Clarke and Crewe director of football
Dario Gradi.
