WELSH football chiefs are angry at their English counterparts after they nominated David Gill to be the next British Fifa vice-president, writes Michael Pearlman.

Gill is competed for the post with Welsh chief Trefor Lloyd Hughes - beating him by 43 votes to 10 to succeed Northern Ireland's Jim Boyce - and the FAW are adamant that an agreement was already in place guaranteeing their support for their candidate.

Britain is guaranteed the role, but UEFA members (for the first time) voted to appoint the candidate.

However, Wales insist an agreement has been in place since 2011 to ensure Hughes succeeded Northern Ireland’s Jim Boyce.

"The English FA have really, really upset me," Hughes said.

"The four associations in 2011 on September 20th, agreed that the next one in 2015 was Wales, simple as that," Hughes said. "I've got it in my room. The agreement is there."

The agreement, revealed in a picture and signed by the previous English FA chairman David Bernstein, says: "The order of rotation shall be IFA (2011-15) - FAW - SFA - FA - IFA etc in perennity."

Gill says the agreement became void after Fifa reforms which mean the British Fifa vice-presidency is now elected by all Uefa members rather than just the home nations.

"We need to understand and explain that the rotation system ended," FA vice-chairman Gill said.

"It is more democratic. If those changes in Uefa's statutes had not taken place then, yes, Trefor would be on there. But it has happened and we need to move forward."

Hughes disagrees that the change to procedure invalidates the previous agreement.

"The point I'm trying to make is... the agreement was there. If you can't keep to an agreement, the principle of the agreement is what I'm after and I think the English FA, I think they cannot believe in principles anymore,” he said.

"I would say that Uefa and Fifa have changed their statutes - totally agree, 100%. The principle of the agreement is... so that everyone could get their turn to go up."

The latest row with the English FA is only likely to strengthen Welsh resolve not to have anything to do with the proposed Team GB side the FA want to field at the next Olympic Games in Rio.
