The FA have hit out at The Sun for their headline following the appointment of Roy Hodgson as England manager.

The daily newspaper ran the heading “Bwing on the Euwos!” after the West Brom supremo was announced as the new Three Lions boss on Tuesday, making fun of the head coach’s slight speech impediment.

The governing body have released a statement branding the headline as unacceptable, but will not take the case any further in this instance.

“The FA and the Press Complaints Commission have today received a large number of objections relating to the front page headline in The Sun newspaper, regarding Roy Hodgson’s manner of speech,” a statement reads.

“On this occasion, we will not be making an official complaint to the PCC but we have raised it with the newspaper and made it clear that their front page is unacceptable to us.

“We are delighted at the media response to Roy’s appointment but are disappointed with the headline in The Sun, which we consider is in poor taste and disrespectful,” it concluded.
