AFAIK there are no English passports but only British passports. It looks like, from RED DEVIL's posts, that the main factor is money (FA cannot match Man U. remuneration), coupled with Alex F's dislike for FA and England. gsn

The national associations should have equal power, the decision making should not be shared by 4+4. Of course you do know that this situation is entirely the fault of the British FAs - for giving FIFA voting rights. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

It's not about voting rights it's about the very existance of the UK countries FA's. If there was a UK FA then there wouldn't be an England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland FA. It would also cut back the number of CL entries. RED DEVIL

He just isn't English and doesn't care about their national team, he see's them as the "auld enemy" more than anything else. For many years England's biggest match was against Scotland, if the fixture was restored it would be that way again. He is quoted as saying he has the biggest job in world football, that of managing Manchester United. RED DEVIL |
