West Bromwich Albion have rejected a "derisory" offer from Fulham for their captain Jonathan Greening.

The 30-year-old midfielder has a year left on his deal at The Hawthorns and has been offered a four-year contract.

"We made it abundantly clear at the end of last season that should any players leave, it will be on our terms," said West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace.

"We didn't give Fulham's offer a second thought. It is derisory for a player of Jonathan's talent and experience."

Greening joined the Baggies for £1.25m from Middlesbrough in July 2004 and has made over 200 appearances for the Black Country club.

Celtic and Rangers may be set to mount a bid to take on the broadcasting rights to the Scottish Premier League.

Rangers confirmed the club was in talks with their Old Firm rivals about buying the TV rights to the SPL, following the collapse of Setanta last month.

The Glasgow clubs are unhappy at the deal offered by Sky and ESPN, thought to be worth £65m over five years.

The SPL said it had received no proposals from the Old Firm. Its board will discuss the issue on Thursday.

A spokeswoman for Rangers said: "Rangers and Celtic have had discussions with regard to buying out the SPL television rights.

"Both clubs felt obliged to do this given the offer from Sky and ESPN is so low."

A spokesman for the SPL said: "We have not received a proposal from the Old Firm in relation to our TV rights.

"Until we do so we are not in a position to comment on it."

Regular payments

It has been reported that the Old Firm believe the rights are worth £25m over two years.

Setanta collapsed at the end of the season after failing to meet deadlines for regular payments to both the Premier League in England and its Scottish counterpart.

The SPL decided to seek new partners after the Irish broadcaster reneged on the final payment of £3m which was due to the league for broadcasting live games last season.

Acceptance of any new deal would require all 12 clubs to vote on a formal resolution, which would have to be supported by a majority of at least eight to four.

lol so he will be looking for a job soon then!! They definitely don't need him.

Maybe he would like to play for sunderland

would you be happy with that lauren :tongue:

:bawling: lol nooo. I don't think Steve Bruce would take the chance, he'd have the fans against him! Although despite Bruce being a Geordie, he's made some good signings thus far.

why are man city just buying everyone?! they have ruined the premiership.. I hope they fall on their rich faces and FAIL!

Premiership was ruined before they came along, but they just dug it's grave haha. Same with Real and La Liga, though I do actually hope Barca come along and snatch that!

The new Galactico era should be amazing

Munto Finance have completed their takeover of Notts County, reports BBC Radio Nottingham.

Peter Trembling has been named as the club's new chairman and chief executive with Peter Willett alongside him on the board of directors.

Former directors, including chairman John Armstrong-Holmes, have resigned.

Trembling told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Our plans are very straightforward. We want to bring success back to Notts County Football Club."

He added: "We have already voiced our plans for the next five years, and that's very clearly to get us into the Championship.

"It may be that this season is one of consolidation...but without doubt, the concentration, the onus, is on getting up this season."

Rory Delap has signed a one-year contract extension that is set to keep him at Stoke until 2011.

The 33-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder made 36 appearances last season and played a key role in helping the Potters stay in the Premier League.

Delap, who joined Stoke from Sunderland in 2007 following a loan spell, used his long throw-ins to good attacking effect, helping create eight goals.

"I said I'd like to stay here for as long as I can," said a delighted Delap.

"I think we exceeded everybody's expectations last year, apart from our own, and we've got to do it all again next year."

Only 1 year... hmm, maybe he's keeping his options open. I definitely think he could get himself to a better club than Stoke.

Fckin hate those long throws LOL

Wish Yobo did them

I think I have Yobo in my fantasy football team atm. lol

Think i do as well :hello:

I just hope Man City FAIL this season :xyxwave:

I think the football thread got the 2 MIL post

lol Marc, Man C will fail in terms of top 4 but I reckon they'll do better than they usually do. Might be another last years villa (without the downfall).

They've finally signed a world class player.

Hull City midfielder Jimmy Bullard could be back in action for the Premier League club by late September.

The Tigers' £5m record signing had knee ligament surgery early in the year after tearing ligaments just 28 minutes into his debut in January.

The 30-year-old told BBC Radio Humberside: "Every day I can feel it getting stronger and stronger. I've had no pain and no swelling.

"Every so often I try it and I feel confident, and that's a big thing."

He insists he will not rush his return: "In two or three weeks I'll try straight-line running, maybe sooner, I want to get back as soon as possible but I have to be sensible.

"I want to be right when I come back, hit the ground running and make a difference. I'm not going to be far away at the end of September, early October."

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has moved closer to his potential switch to Manchester City, it seems, with Sky Sports News reporting that a hearing has been scheduled in Manchester tomorrow to determine whether the player can be awarded a work permit.

Arsenal are doomed.. :devil:
