FA girl's revenge

The woman at the centre of the FA sex scandal is to take a £500,000 revenge on Sven-Goran Eriksson.

She will reveal full details of her affairs with the England boss and former FA chief executive Mark Palios. She will also talk of her close relationship with other high-profile football figures at the FA headquarters in Soho Square.

The FA board was meeting today to discuss the futures of Eriksson, Miss Alam, acting chief executive David Davies and chairman Geoff Thompson.

Mr Palios quit at the weekend and PR supremo Colin Gibson's resignation has been accepted in private. After numerous statements denying the relationship between Eriksson, 56, and the secretary, the FA was forced into a U-turn before Mr Gibson tried to broker a deal with the News Of The World in which he reportedly offered "chapter and verse" on the affair.

Today Mr Clifford said: "Faria Alam has asked me to represent her and I have agreed." A friend of Miss Alam said: "She is very angry with the FA and has a lot to say. It is dynamite."
