It suits the Welsh and the Scottish FAs to push this line but really it’s just a fig leaf for their own sense of inferiority, most likely because any GB football team is inevitably going to be dominated by English players and management. History has gifted these two FAs a level of influence they could never earn or pay for and they’re extremely paranoid about losing it.
