Former Football Association chief David Bernstein has branded the threat to exclude England from Euro 2028 as a "last throw of the dice" by those opposed to an independent regulator of the sport.

Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis has written to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, in a letter reported by The Times, saying there should be "no government interference in the running of football" and that an independent regulator could lead to England's exclusion from Uefa.
