Triesman hits back at Bevan

FA chairman Lord Triesman has branded Richard Bevan’s widespread attack on the way the game is being run as “foolish”.

The ferocity of Bevan’s attack and the perceived discrepancies in it have infuriated Triesman, triggering a hostile response in which he totally rejects the theory that too much FA time is spent on PR and politics while major projects, such as the National Football Centre, are being ignored.
