Taylor fighting to save PFA chief executive job

PFA chief Gordon Taylor is in danger of losing his job.

The Daily Mail says Taylor was fighting for his future on Wednesday night after details of his extraordinary gambling habit emerged.

His fate will be sealed by a vote of the PFA's management committee today.

The PFA chief executive, who earns just over £1million a year, was locked in emergency talks with his deputy John Bramhall, chairman Clarke Carlisle and PFA lawyers at their Manchester office yesterday afternoon.

Taylor is accused of placing more than £4m on 2,000 bets and owing a bookmaker more than £100,000, after startling revelations were published yesterday.
