Eriksson vows to battle through FA crisis

SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON last night vowed to battle through the English Football Association crisis and carry on as boss — but warned he would not allow the new Professional Game Board to dictate his job.

The Swede was rocked by FA chief executive Adam Crozier's resignation when his authority was eroded in the ongoing power struggle with the Premier League.

And Eriksson worryingly delivered a strong hint he could follow his close ally out of Soho Square for the same reason if the PGB, who will oversee top-level football in England, question his every move.
