Former FA chairman Ken Bates has warned against the sale of Wembley.

Fulham owner Shahid Khan wants to buy the England national stadium, currently used as a temporary home ground for Tottenham Hotspur, for a fee believed to be around £800m.

"I'm saying it must not be sold. The FA are just the custodians of the national game for the people of this country," says Bates.

"They have no moral authority to sell it as it doesn't belong to them. The directors of the FA are just passing through, they are the trustees. How dare they even consider selling it. The FA never had a proper home until we got Wembley."

Chelsea are reportedly plan to use Wembley when the reconstruction of Stamford Bridge commences after the 2019/20 season.
