The FA's hierarchy discussed the plan at a board meeting on Thursday, but reports suggest that they were concerned that the so-called '39th game' would need to be changed fundamentally for it to win approval.
FA chairman, Lord Triesman, told Sky Sports News: "At the moment we have not seen a sustainable plan to which we can agree.
"If the Premier League has things it wants to say about changes or new variants, well then they will come forward.
"But personally, I would prefer it happened sooner rather than later, because I don't want this to drift on particularly as we are to launch our World Cup bid (for 2018).
"In general I think uncertainty is not very helpful if it goes on for any length of time, but that is a matter for them.
"The whole of the process, I think, certainly does require some fresh thinking and some really substantive answers to the questions posed."
