My point is...

"he would not have sanctioned the friendly with the Socceroos in 2003 had he been fully aware of the historic rivalry."

If he had no inkling about the rivalry aspect, did he not talk to anyone else at the FA about it? This was the farsical game where he played two completely different teams in either half. Naiivity or ignorence? I can't decide.
