Stuart Pearce has been caught in a new racism storm following his appointment as interim England manager.

England Under-21s boss Pearce will lead England against Holland this month following the resignation of Fabio Capello.

The FA have now been forced to address allegations that Pearce racially abused Paul Ince in 1994.

"We're not going to go back over extensive grounds today in that respect," FA chairman David Bernstein said at Wembley yesterday.

"I certainly can't talk about that comment."

It has also emerged that Pearce's brother Dennis stood as a European candidate for the right-wing British National Party in 2009.

"There have been a few occasions where Stuart has been asked this specific question and, as an individual, he has made it clear that he is not involved in his brother's political beliefs, in the same way as I'm sure that everybody who has siblings does not always share their political stance," Club England managing director Adrian Bevington said.

"It is a matter for Stuart Pearce's brother rather than Stuart, we would suggest.

"I don't think we can get into the realms of being judgmental on someone because of what their brother or any sibling's views may be."

John Terry was stripped of the England captaincy after being accused of making racist comments to Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
