The Football Association failed in their attempt to host the 2018 World Cup - with the event awarded to Russia - but the 67-year-old says a new proposal may be put forward
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke says England would consider launching a fresh bid to host the World Cup if Sepp Blatter was removed from his position as Fifa president.
FA vice-chairman David Gill was appointed as Fifa vice-president on Tuesday and Dyke has indicated that the presence of the former Manchester United chief executive could persuade England to again put forward a proposal to stage the tournament, though he is adamant that such a bid will not be made while Blatter is in power
"If David can assure us there's a proper system and it's fair then we could be persuaded," Dyke told BBC Sport.
"But at the moment the policy is straightforward - we don't bid while Mr Blatter's there."
England's last attempt proved fruitless as the 2018 World Cup was awarded to Russia, with the bidding process of that event and the 2022 instalment in Qatar subsequently the subject of an investigation into corruption - although both countries were cleared of any wrongdoing.
And Dyke says that any decision to start another campaign would "depend on the timetable".
"It depends on how quickly it has to be done," he added.
"But remember, you have to get an awful lot of people onside and that's not going to be easy in England now because a lot of people got badly scarred in the process last time.
"To make a bid you have got to get whoever is the government onside and we don't know who that is yet because they have to underwrite it."
