 | | Faria Alam, the secretary who sparked a crisis at the Football Association, yesterday claimed she was told she would be paid to reveal all about Sven-Goran Eriksson as part of a plot to keep her fling with the FA's former chief executive Mark Palios out of the papers. |
 | | But in interviews in the News of the World and the Mail on Sunday, Ms Alam, 38, admitted she had failed to tell the truth about her affair with Mr Eriksson when she was grilled by the FA in a crisis meeting, after which bosses drafted a strongly worded denial. |
 | | According to Ms Alam, she was warned of the exposure of her affair with Mr Eriksson when her boss, now the acting chief executive, David Davies, called her on the Saturday before the story broke. |
