Reports today suggest that Jeffries has agreed to step down from his role, which saw him lead the troubled £747m Wembley Stadium development on behalf of the Football Association.

The news emerged as FA chairman Lord Triesman leads a review of the management and financing of Wembley Stadium, which has been a cause of problems to the FA since trouble first emerged on the building programme, undertaken by Multiplex.

WNSL still manages the stadium.

An announcement about Jeffries’ role is expected shortly.

A WNSL spokesperson said the organisation could not comment on the speculation.
