Triesman: Get used to public justice
23 Dec 2008Football Association chairman Lord Triesman has warned clubs to be ready for more detailed disciplinary verdicts to be made public.
Triesman admitted it was wrong to post the evidence given in Patrice Evra's improper conduct hearing on the FA website without warning Manchester United first.
In this instance, United were appalled as it painted Evra, assistant manager Mike Phelan and physio Tony Strudwick in a negative light. Yet rather than shy away from the concept of open justice, Triesman feels clubs must get used to it.
He said: "It is in our rules that we have the right to publish our reason but I don't look at it as a right - it's an obligation. Why shouldn't people know the reasons we have done what we have?"

Lord Triesman is a know-nothing baffoon.
The last thing that football needs are dinosaurs like him poking their noses where they're not wanted.
