  14. Palios: "He who is without sin"published at 10:06 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Asked if the results of the Fifa report were damaging for the English FA, Palios said: "Without doubt it is damaging. Next time they stand up and take the moral high-ground, people will say 'he who is without sin, let him throw the first stone'.

    "But I think people will know the FA is one of the Football Associations that tries to do things properly.

    "Every organisation knows they can strengthen their governance procedures and if there are lessons to be learned from this, then the FA will learn them."

  15. 'Fifa will be quite pleased'published at 10:02 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2014

    Palios, the former chief executive of the FA (pictured right with ex-England boss Sven Goran Eriksson), said: "One has to put a bit of perspective around this. When the FA is judged in this they'll be judged against other FAs, who may well not have come under as much scrutiny because they simply haven't given evidence.

    "I understand the Russians wiped all their computers.

    "I think Fifa will be quite pleased at the embarrassment this has caused the English FA, because the FA has always been seen as a thorn in their side."
