The FA have agreed in principle to televise their council meetings, although the entertainment value of watching the blazers in debate seems highly questionable.
The decision, with the in-house FATV surely the only media outlet interested in streaming the content, came in response to working party recommendations to improve council practice.
Another recommendation was for longer debates so that England performances at major tournaments, for instance, can be properly dissected.
FA chairman Greg Clarke said: 'We will look much better than Parliament', but the Clarke-led reforms that will eventually result in a younger, more diverse council are yet to kick in.
Brian Barwick, who was head of football at BBC and controller of sport at ITV as well as a former FA chief executive, has strong reservations about admitting the cameras to the Wembley Suite. He had concerns about how the edited content would come across. Fascinating, it won't be.
N'Golo Kante restored tradition to the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year ceremony with his acceptance speech at London's Landmark Hotel.
The Chelsea star, who keeps the lowest of profiles off the pitch, was still prepared to address an appreciative audience in faltering English.
He showed up previous winners who have preferred an unsatisfactory question-and-answer format, which has now been ditched.
Sun football reporters were absent from the Landmark in protest at the FWA's lukewarm stance over the newspaper being banned from Liverpool and Everton following articles about the Hillsborough disaster and Ross Barkley that were not published in the sports pages.
The FWA later became much more supportive, but by then all tables had been sold.
It may be time for the Premier League to control media accreditation, since the Merseyside action sets a worrying precedent for clubs banning media.
Having dinner at the Landmark Hotel, seemingly oblivious that the Footballer of the Year function was taking place until guests arrived, were Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and manager Ronald Koeman. They were said to be discussing transfer targets.
