ENGLAND JOB IS 'O'NEILL'S TO TURN DOWN
The FA's three-man selection committee has pretty much decided to offer the England job to Martin O'Neill, says The Independent. It seems that they have dismissed the idea of a foreign boss - despite the apparent consternations of some members of the FA board - and will offer the job to O'Neill.
Sam Allardyce, Stuart Pearce and Alan Curbishley will also be called for interviews, while The Independent are sticking with their story that former Spurs boss Gerry Francis has been 'sounded out', while Peter Taylor's odds dropped dramatically on Tuesday.
FERGIE EYEING NOLAN?
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bolton midfielder Kevin Nolan as the long-term successor to Roy Keane. Sir Alex Ferguson has been impressed by the 23-year-old's performances this term, according to The Daily Mail. He is under contract at the Reebok Stadium until 2009, and could cost as much as £10million. Other names mentioned have been Deportivo hard man Aldo Duscher and Lyon star Mahamadou Diarra.
FAT SAM WANTS MEITE
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce says he is still interested in Marseille defender Abdoulaye Meite ahead of their UEFA Cup clash, commenting: "When the season is finished - if he is available - I would like him as long as the price is right. He doesn't seem to be playing as much now as he did when we first wanted him a couple of years ago."
Allardyce is also considering a move for Trinidad and Tobago midfielder Silvio Spann to solve his injury crisis. Spann is available on a free transfer after leaving Japanese club Yokohama FC, and Bolton will have to battle Dundee United for his services.AND THE REST
