    Ex-Liverpool defender John Scales believes Raheem Sterling's stalling over signing a new Reds contract is over money.

    The BBC's Natalie Pirks spoke to the winger, who confirmed he turned down a new £100,000-a-week deal.

    Scales told BBC Radio 5 live that it was partly about the money.

    Scales also questioned advice Sterling is receiving from his advisor and says he needs to get advice from as many people as possible.

    And let's just stay with the England national team just that little bit longer.

    This from the Daily Telegraph:, external

    Five former England managers warn that England's chances of winning the World Cup again will be damaged if the national game does not quickly unify behind Football Association Greg Dyke's proposed new reforms.

    Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Sven Goran Eriksson, Graham Taylor and Steve McClaren have signed a joint letter to Dyke in which they advocate the swift implementation of new proposals that will increase club opportunities for young English players.

    "Failure to do so risks England falling further behind the leading football nations and will only make it harder to end the long wait to win the World Cup," the managers write.

    We did wave farewell to international week, but before it walks off into the sunset let's call it back for just a few more moments.

    Apparently, England coach Roy Hodgson says Tottenham's Harry Kane - who, judging by the nationwide fawning, is closing in on a knighthood - wants to play in the Under-21 European Championship this summer.

    Hodgson said: "Harry wants to go with the Under-21s. He wants to finish the job that he has done."

    Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that Kane, 21, might benefit from resting this summer.
