Greg Dyke will leave his post as chairman of the Football Association this summer.
Here Press Association Sport takes a look at possible candidates who could step in to his shoes.
DAVID GILL
He has the CV: as well as being FA vice-chairman, he is also a FIFA vice-president, and sits on UEFA's executive committee. He is seen as nobody's puppet, but would have to give up his seat on Manchester United's board if he wanted the job.
DAME HEATHER RABBATTS
An independent member of the FA board, she has made a name for herself for her determination to tackle discrimination in football. However she may have the same problem as Dyke himself and face opposition from traditionalists on the FA council.
IAN WATMORE
Former FA chief executive and father of Sunderland striker Duncan Watmore. He left his FA post due to frustrations at dealing with the then Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards. Was a board member for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
GREG CLARKE
Businessman who has been chairman of the Football League since 2010 and is standing down in June. He has overseen significant changes including introducing financial fair play rules and a version of the Rooney Rule to encourage black and ethnic minority coaches.
