Losses of £40m for Wembley StadiumWembley Stadium lost £40 million in its first year of operation.
The national stadium made an operating loss of £22 million and the interest on an outstanding loan of £346 million, pushed those losses up.
FA chairman Lord Triesman wants to address the losses by refinancing the loan taken out to build the stadium.
An FA source said: "Staffing costs will be lower in the future and we will claw all that money back."
It has been suggested that Michael Jeffries, the chairman of Wembley National Stadium Ltd, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the FA, may tell board members that he intends to stand down.
The FA has signed a record £425 million TV contract with ITV and Setanta, which begins next season.

I thought with the prices they charge down there for the fast foods ie £6-50 for an hotdog,£7 for a burger and £5 for a slice of pizza,they would be quids in.

should never have been rebuilt - should have been a new stadium in the midlands that was accessible to all for england games - i loved watching england while wembley was shut - now have to take two days off for a game - i am totally disillusioned with football
