Watch this video of Premier League managers giving their opinion on whether China's transfer spending is the start of a new footballing superpower.

New Notts County boss Jamie Fullarton has a similar approach to the club's greatest-ever manager Jimmy Sirrel, according to former striker Les Bradd.

Sirrel led the club to three promotions and Bradd told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Jimmy taught all the players he had in the group what was required. You weren't on the pitch to play football; you were going out there to do a job and in each role you had a job to do. 

"I think Jamie is preaching that from what I hear from one or two of the players.

Derby County chairman Mel Morris has been speaking to BBC East Midlands Today about the Championship club's decision to sack head coach Paul Clement on Monday.

The Rams are fifth in the table, five points behind leaders Hull City.

Morris said: "When Paul was hired we spelt out the plan. That was to take the squad that we have had for two seasons, who had almost got us there, to add depth and strength to it and then to look at player improvement and team improvement.

"We just haven't made enough progress - it's as simple as that.

"It (winning promotion to the Premier League) was never really a target this season. I said that in the fans' forum, reiterated it again in November. Paul was told on day one that was not the target."

Kirill Parfenov of Kazakhstan was banned for life in February 2015, after making contact with another official on social media in a bid to manipulate match scoring.

The story, which was revealed by the Guardian, follows BBC and BuzzFeed allegations about match-fixing at the top level of the sport that overshadowed the start of the Australian Open last month.

England coach Eddie Jones has suggested England will be much-changed for Sunday's Six Nations match with Italy.

"We're likely to pick a different 23 than we picked against Scotland and it may feature some of the younger players," Jones tells BBC Radio 5 live,

"I'm pleased with the players we've got but I might change the batting order in some respects."

On the back row, he added: "I think it suited us against Scotland but whether that's the right back row against Italy is another story."

England's James Haskell has been talking to BBC Radio 5 live about Irish great Paul O'Connell, who announced his retirement from rugby earlier.

"Paul is one of the biggest legends of rugby, especially in my playing career and in my lifetime," said Haskell.

"I’m very disappointed I never got the opportunity to play with him. His captaincy and how articulate he was and the way he played was something I always respected as an opponent.

"I’m sure when he sits back and has a Guinness he will reflect and know he had an unbelievable career and had the respect of all the rugby fraternity."
