The FAI board will today review a letter sent by a member of their council to Fifa and Uefa expressing fears that Irish football faces “losing it sovereignty” if proposed reforms linked to a State bailout are implemented.

Nixon Morton from the FAI Schools has highlighted what he considers a number of serious concerns since the association’s last council meeting in December, including the process for appointing Gary Owens and his interim deputy chief executive Niall Quinn.
