Ian Wright furiously hits back at Lord Sugar over "f****** foolish" Women's Euros claim

Lord Sugar has been shut down by Ian Wright, who called the entrepreneur "f****** foolish" for his tweets criticising the lack of male coverage for the Women's Euros.

Sugar controversially tweeted about how the coverage was female dominated last Wednesday as England kicked off the tournament with a 1-0 win against Austria, but Wright was in the studio as they recorded the biggest ever score line in the competition against Norway on Monday. England won 8-0 on a fine day for women's football, in front of a packed crowd at Brighton's Amex.

And Sugar tweeted again on Tuesday morning, claiming that his earlier tweet may have led to Wright being drafted in to join the panel on BBC Sport. But his theory has been slammed by Wright, who was furious with Sugar while branding him foolish in a savage rant.
