Wolves: Jez Moxey appointed to FA Council
JEZ Moxey has been elected to serve as one of the Premier League representatives on the FA Council.
There are seven elected representatives on the council alongside Sir Dave Richards, chairman of the Premier League, who has an automatic place and is not elected.
Two vacancies were created on the council by David Gold losing his place due to changing clubs and Portsmouth’s Peter Storrie by virtue of their relegation.
And the Wolves chief executive was elected on to the council by representatives from fellow clubs at the recent Premier League AGM, with Gold also re-elected having now moved on to West Ham.
“This will ensure that Wolves have a seat at the table to have some influence on a number of the important issues that affect football,” Moxey said.
“The FA Council has an extensive remit which covers so many different issues connected with our game.
“It is relevant that we as a club are able to have an input as well as representing the interests of other clubs similar to ourselves and, of course, the Premier League as a whole.
“This is the first time that Wolves, as a club, will be represented in this way and I am looking forward to playing a full part throughout the year ahead.”
The FA Council meets regularly to decide on the major policies of the FA,
