Bradford City and Gianni Paladini have agreed an extension to the Italian's period of exclusivity for buying the club, BBC Sport understands.

The club revealed a fortnight ago that they were in talks with the former QPR chairman over a potential takeover.

The initial period ended on Friday but it is understood it has been extended by two weeks.

Paladini, who was interested in second-tier side Birmingham City, visited Bradford's training ground this week.

More from Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat: "We know what we have to do. If we get the six, seven points, then I'm sure we will stay up. There's no sense in looking so much at other teams.

"It helps sometimes when they lose, but we still have to do it by ourselves."

Sunderland are 18th in the Premier League table and one point away from safety, although Advocaat's side have played one game less than the clubs around them.

Would you remind your players of an 8-0 defeat? Not unless you really had to, surely?

Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat certainly won't be, but he himself has watched the video of his side's 8-0 defeat at Southampton earlier this season.

"I don't think it's a good idea to discuss that game again," he said. "I saw the game two days ago - we gave the goals away really, really easily. Own goals, some mistakes from the goalie, some mistakes from the defence, I didn't think you could make that many mistakes in one game.

"That definitely will not happen tomorrow."

John Equator (@JohnEquator) asked: Who is your money on between Floyd and Manny and why?

"I think Mayweather will win. He is the best boxer of his generation. Putting it simply, he is a better boxer than Pacquiao.

"The first two or three rounds will be tough and Mayweather will have to be on his guard, but once he gets into the fight I think he will pull away in the mid rounds and end up winning on a unanimous decision."

Rotherham decide not to appeal a three-points deduction for fielding an ineligible player after securing their Championship status.

The Millers were penalised three points last week for playing Farrend Rawson in the 1-0 win over Brighton on 5 April.

In a statement, external the club maintained their punishment was "disproportionate" to what was "an honest human error" but added they would like to "draw a line under the matter".

Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank's Burton were the first team to secure promotion and Shrewsbury joined them by beating Cheltenham last weekend.

Burton will be crowned champions if they beat Cambridge on the final day of the season, or if Shrewsbury fail to overcome Plymouth.

The other automatic place is between Southend, Bury and Wycombe, who are all assured of a play-off place.

Stevenage have secured a play-off place and Plymouth will definitely join them if they get a point against Shrewsbury.

Cheltenham and Tranmere have already been relegated.

Bristol City have already taken the title and therefore the first of two automatic promotion places.

The second spot is between Preston and MK Dons - the Deepdale side will be promoted if they beat Colchester or match MK Dons' result against Yeovil.

Swindon, Sheffield United and Chesterfield have secured the other play-off spots.

Yeovil Town have already filled one of the four relegation positions, and three from a further six teams will join them, with Leyton Orient, Colchester, Crawley, Notts County, Crewe and Coventry all still in danger.

It the final weekend of the Football League season and the Championship title is still up for grabs. Watford have already secured promotion to the Premier League and need to match Bournemouth's result to clinch the trophy.

The south coast side have effectively sealed their place in the top flight, too, as they are three points and 19 goals clear of third-placed Middlesbrough.

Boro and Norwich are guaranteed at least a play-off place, while Ipswich, Derby, Brentford and Wolves will fight it out for the two remaining berths.

Wigan, Millwall and Blackpool have already been relegated to League One.

A Norwegian win for Team Sky then as Lars Petter Nordhaug claims victory on a day they lost their only Englishman in the race Ben Swift, who abandoned after a crash.

It was Stephane Rossetto who went for it but Nordhaug roared through and up past his slipstream on the line, closely followed by Thomas Voeckler.

But there was bad news for the Tour as whole with Marcel Kittel's decision to abandon. The German clearly wasn't feeling up to it and climbed off his bike after falling six minutes behind in what was his first race in two months following an illness.

England are 38-2 halfway through the 15th overs against the West Indies in the third Test in Barbados. Jonathan Trott was dismissing third ball for a duck and Gary Ballance has just been bowled for 18.

Lars Petter Nordhaug was backed by Philip Deignan in the build-up to the line to see off the challenge of a strong group including Samuel Sanchez of BMC, Thomas Voeckler of Europcar and Stephane Rosetto of Cofidis.

Where did Sir Bradley Wiggins finish?

Lars Petter Nordhaug is over the line first, just ahead of Thomas Voeckler. Great teamwork from Team Sky to get the Norwegian into a winning position.

1km to go and all five are back together. A mini-bunch sprint to end it? Can Team Sky do it together?

With 3km to go a veering left-hand turn takes the leaders on to the sea front. Team Sky's Philip Deignan with it but Thomas Voeckler is hot on him. A great pantomime act from the Frenchman, as always.

It's going to come down to a sprint finish in Scarborough but who's got the legs?

Team Sky's Lars Petter Nordhaug goes off the front with under 5km to go but is reeled in. He's distanced his team-mate Philip Deignan but Thomas Voeckler of Europcar and Samuel Sanchez of BMC are hot on his heels.

Judd Trump and Stuart Bingham have shared the opening four frames of Friday's session in the second semi-final at the Crucible. That means the unheralded Bingham leads 7-5 in the first-to-17 contest.

There's just under 10km to go until the finish of today's opening stage at Scarborough.

Team Sky's Lars Petter Nordhaug and Philip Deignan are in a leading group of five riders including Samuel Sanchez of BMC, Thomas Voeckler of Europcar and Stephane Rosetto of Cofidis.

A chasing group of riders are 55 seconds behind, with the main field further back still. A one-two from Team Sky would soften the blow of losing Ben Swift, who abandoned after a crash earlier. It's pretty much all flat from here...

Tom Ince says playing for England "flows through the blood" in his family but he had to end his under-21 career to focus on club football.

Derby County's on-loan Hull winger, 23, turned down the chance to play for the England Under-21 side in March.

"I put my country to one side to get a bit of confidence back, but people were very quick to judge," Ince, son of Paul, told BBC East Midlands Today.

"England flows through the blood in the Ince family. I never snubbed England."
