David Gill will become the most powerful administrator in English football when he is elected onto the FIFA ExCo at the UEFA Congress in Vienna . He is a certainty to be the landslide choice of the 54 UEFA voting territories to succeed Northern Ireland 's Jim Boyce , despite rival FA of Wales president Trefor Lloyd-Hughes claiming the FA have reneged on a signed agreement that it was the Welsh turn . Gill 's FIFA seat as the British vice-president will give him unprecedented football influence added to his other roles on the UEFA ExCo , FA vice-chairman , Premier League representative on the FA and Manchester United director . David Gill is widely expected to succeed Jim Boyce as FIFA 's British vice-president on Tuesday . Gill has been backed by FA Chairman Greg Dyke to ensure ethics and transparency in the organisation . And FA chairman Greg Dyke , one of those along with UEFA chief Michel Platini who persuaded Gill to change his mind about working for a Sepp Blatter-led FIFA , wants urbane accountant Gill to be 'awkward ' and stir up trouble in Zurich by asking hard questions of the FIFA president during his likely fifth term of office . Dyke said : 'David will do the job properly . FIFA needs to have someone from the awkward squad asking tough questions . There is a feeling there have been too many acolytes and not enough people ensuring decisions are taken in a transparent , ethical and business-like manner . ' England rugby head coach Stuart Lancaster will head for a poolside bar with a beer or just lie in a darkened room when he goes on holiday to Tenerife this week to reflect on the agonising near miss in the Six Nations and plan for the World Cup . 'It 's just a bit of space to get my head straight before I dive back into everything , ' he said . Lancaster always travels to the same destination on Tenerife for his private thinking time after major tournaments , which his wife Nina describes as going into his 'cave ' . Daughter Sophie reacted to Lancaster dining alone in a restaurant in Tenerife by calling him 'weirdo ' in a text message . Lancaster would n't give his exact holiday location when asked , saying : ' I 'm not going to tell you where it is in case you start following me around . ' But his chances of escaping attention from British hordes in the Canary Islands are slim . England rugby head coach Stuart Lancaster will take a holiday retreat to Tenerife following the Six Nations . England fell one try short of a first Six Nations title since 2011 after their 55-35 victory over France . Twickenham charging £41 for wheelchair access to England matches , as revealed by Sports Agenda , has caused so much upset following long established free entry , the issue is going to be looked at by the international ticket committee as well as the RFU board and council . RFU staff are said to have implemented the new cost without first going through the ticketing committee . BBC and BT rugby pundit Matt Dawson chose to tweet a picture of Twickenham personnel rehearsing podium preparation for a Six Nations presentation to 'champions ' England before the French match . The image , which provoked the arrogant England stereotype , was soon deleted . When Saracens announced the departure last Friday evening of Ed Griffiths , stand-out chief executive in English rugby for the past seven years , it looked a classic case of media-savvy Griffiths burying bad news on the eve of the Six Nations . However , it has emerged that highly-talented Griffiths is not leaving of his own accord . His exit is understood to be more to do with a breakdown of relationships with other powerbrokers at the club than alleged salary cap breaches . Griffiths was reported to be leaving at the end of the season but has ceased day-to-day work . Broadcaster John Inverdale should be relieved his c-word slip of the tongue — 'rose-****** glasses ' — while presenting Radio 5 Live 's Cheltenham coverage has n't cost him his prime role anchoring ITV 's broadcast of the Rugby World Cup , an event more anticipated after such an epic finale to the Six Nations . John Inverdale , pictured here working for the BBC , was recorded swearing on air during Cheltenham . The European Club Association , having agreed a much improved financial deal with FIFA for club payments when releasing players for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup , have demonstrated they want their status to rise accordingly . They have hired sport strategist Jon Tibbs 's PR company JTA , who also work for Manchester United , to represent them .
