Sven slaps gag on new revelations

SVEN-GORAN Eriksson has launched a pre-emptive strike in a bid to prevent further embarrassing disclosures from the News of the World.

The England head coach has launched legal action alleging breach of confidence against the newspaper after they printed his disclosures to a reporter posing as a sheikh.

Eriksson said he would quit as England coach if they win the World Cup this summer, and also made indiscreet comments about his senior players.
