LONDON (Reuters) - The English Football Association was warned "the clock is ticking" after a motion of no confidence into its ability to reform itself was passed during a British Parliamentary debate on Thursday.

While Sports Minister Tracey Crouch ruled out immediate intervention into the running of the world's oldest soccer federation, she warned that it was in danger of losing 30 million pounds of public funding and that legislation could be brought in to force change.
