The final make-up of the Football Association commission may not yet be complete, but former England striker Gary Lineker claims the majority of the current confirmed members are “utterly pointless.”

The think tank includes FA chairman Greg Dyke, former England manager Glenn Hoddle, as well as Football League chairman Greg Clarke and FA vice-chairman Roger Burden.

The likes of League Managers Association chairman Howard Wilkinson, incoming Professional Footballers Association chairman Ritchie Humphreys, Crewe director of football Dario Gradi and former England defender Danny Mills are also confirmed appointments.

Talks are continuing with a number of different people, some of whom may not be able to commit personal time serving on the FA initiative but will engage with it.

Nevertheless Lineker indicated on Friday that he believes those appointments which are already in the public domain have been poor choices by Dyke.

The Match of the Day presenter said on Twitter: “No wonder they announced Glenn Hoddle early on @FA commission. Most of the others are utterly pointless. Expected better from Greg Dyke.”

Lineker agreed with a response from Daily Telegraph reporter Paul Hayward that the commission was made up of bureaucrats.

Hayward wrote: “Hoped it was going to be a national football study, not bureaucrats reviewing the bureaucracy.”

Lineker added: “Exactly!” And after former Manchester City favourite Francis Lee replied to say the process “looks like a complete waste of time,” Lineker described it as “a real missed opportunity.”
