Barwick is said to have disagreed with Triesman over the FA s strategic policies and the appointment of key figures in the 2018 World Cup bid team.
Triesman, a former Government minister, appears to have won the dispute and is likely to take a more hands-on role at the …

Crystal Palace face a test of their Premier League credentials as Newcastle United head to Selhurst Park on Sunday. Just eight points separate the bottom 10 teams in the division, and defeat to a potential relegation rival could drop either of the Eagles or the Magpies 13th and 14th respectively right back into the mix.
Crystal Palace
After losing their first seven opening games of the season, without registering a single goal in reply, the Eagles were heavily tipped as this year s relegation favorites. However, after appointing former England boss Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace have found some recent Premier League stability. Although the south London club still remains in the heart of a relegation…
Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira believes Tottenham star Harry Kane is the most complete striker ahead of team-mate Gonzalo Higuain and Bayern Munich s Robert Lewandowski.
Kane has dazzled this season, the two-time reigning Premier League Golden Boot winner already scoring 22 goals in 2017-18.
The 24-year-old England international has netted 31 goals in all competitions this term and Khedira heaped praise on the Spurs talisman ahead of next week s Champions League last-16 tie.
Harry Kane for me is maybe the most complete striker, actually, Khedira told BBC Sport.
There is also Robert Lewandowski and Higuain too, but he is strong, good with his head, fast, good with his feet, can score with one touch, he can dribble…
For me he s an amazing pla…
Borussia Monchengladbach claim to have secured an agreement with Chelsea to sign midfielder Thorgan Hazard on loan for next season.
The 21-year-old, younger brother of Eden Hazard, joined his elder sibling at Stamford Bridge in July 2012 from French side Lens.
Chelsea opted to immediately loan Hazard junior to Belgian team Zulte Waregem, where he has impressed during the last two seasons.
Indeed, Thorgan Hazard won the Player of the Year award in the 2013-14 campaign and earned his first senior international cap for Belgium last May.
As a result, the likes of Schalke, Wolfsburg and Gladbach have all been linked with a move for the playmaker, with the latter clubs sporting director Max Eberl stating that they have struck a deal with Chelsea.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas says his side s Champions League fate will be decided in games with Manchester City and Chelsea.
Spurs have won just once in their last six matches, and a similar late run of poor form last season saw the club finish a point behind Arsenal in fourth and miss out on the competition in place of tournament-winners Chelsea.
The north London side are now behind the Blues on goal difference in fourth and two points ahead of the Gunners in fifth, but have played a game more than each of their rivals.
Arsenal s game in hand is against Everton, so something is going to happen, Villas-Boas told reporters.
Everton probably have the toughest calendar and we probably have the second-worst with matches against Manchester City and C…

Lithuania
After losing the opening match in Belgrade, Lithuania earned their first point in a 1-1 draw at home against Bulgaria, with defender Justas Lasickas sent off in the 17th minute. They soon suffered another 2-0 loss, away to current group leaders Hungary, and eventually drew 2-2 at home against Montenegro on Thursday.
