Triesman says


I rather agree with Matthew Sayed, that any comments Lord Triesman made to his mistress in confidence are a matter for him. In fact he said that there was some evidence that the Spanish were trying to find the names of the referees in order to bribe them; he didn't say it was a lot of evidence or that it was compelling, just that there was some.


Triesman has in fact done us a favour if his statement means that we lose the World Cup bidding. After the nonsense of the Olympics the last thing we need is another expensive international competition. This is a good race in which to come second.


Can I just remind everyone, read my lips..


We haven't got any money.
