England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has thrown his weight behind under-fire Football Association boss Adam Crozier.
FA chief executive Crozier is under pressure from a number of Premier League chairman who are unhappy with his alleged autocratic style.
However, Eriksson is firmly behind the man who appointed him England boss. The Swede's personal manager Athole Still said: "I spoke to Sven last night and he was very concerned at the possibility of losing the special relationship he has with Adam Crozier.
"The absolute support, both personally and professionally, he has always received from Adam has been a very significant factor in his ongoing commitment to the national team."
It is understood Crozier is due to have talks with FA chairman Geoff Thompson in the next 48 hours.
