Danny Rose has piled the pressure on the FA, by insisting football still has no deterrent for racist abuse.
Tottenham and England defender Rose said: “Fines and fans not attending games is not working. Something else needs to be done. Something else needs to be looked at.”
His assessment come in a hard-hitting interview for a new BT Sport documentary, State Of Play.
It follows the 28-year-old left-back’s insistence, earlier this month, that he can’t wait to walk away from the game because of its inability to protect its black players.
English football's chiefs have so far refused to consider either points deductions for clubs or closing grounds — despite calls from this country for just those sanctions to be imposed on offending foreign clubs and national teams.

Rose's stunning condemnation of the state of the sport came a week after he was a target for monkey chants from the crowd during England's Euros qualifier away to Montenegro in March.
“I’ve had enough," he said. "At the minute, the way that I programme myself I just think, ‘I’ve got five or six more years left in football and I just can’t wait to see the back of it.’ Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute, it’s just, ‘Whatever!’, isn’t it? I just want to get out of it.”
A month on he's still annoyed, saying: “I find it embarrassing, humiliating, and I get really, really angry.
“If it was under any different circumstances, if I was walking down the street, or in a shop, and that happened I would retaliate. But I’m representing my country. Points are on the line, maybe my reputation is on the line if I retaliated, you just never know.”
