FIFA's executive committee will meet in Zurich to examine various options, including whether more than one country from each continent can bid.

Under the current rotation system, the 2018 World Cup would go to a country from north and central America or the Caribbean.

However, FIFA president Sepp Blatter says he favours a change, as do many executive members.

England are likely to face a number of challengers, including Russia, China, Australia, the U.S. or Mexico, as well as a possible joint bid from Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg.

Andy Johnson wants to sign a new contract at Everton.

The injured striker is keen to open talks to place himself back among the club's top earners, alongside £11 million summer signing Yakubu and midfielders Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahill, who recently agreed new terms.

Graeme Souness has revealed he would be interested in succeeding Steve Staunton as Republic of Ireland manager.

The former Liverpool and Newcastle boss dropped out of the running for the Bolton job last week and will hold talks with Milan Mandaric over the Leicester vacancy this week.

But Souness has not ruled out a move to international football either, saying: "If I was offered the Ireland job, I would be very interested.

"Why wouldn't any manager be keen on leading such a great country's football team, working with a squad which I believe has a lot of potential?"

Terry Venables, David O'Leary, John Aldridge and Liam Brady are also in the frame to replace Staunton, who was sacked last week.

Rangers failed to go level on points with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premier League as they lost 2-1 at Dundee United yesterday.

Lee Wilkie put the home side ahead and although Daniel Cousin equalised from the spot, Barry Robson's penalty won the game for United.

Pop star Robbie Williams will be consulted by Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt over the club's new manager.

Williams, a lifelong Vale fan, is the majority shareholder in the managerless Potteries club with a £249,000 stake.

Caretaker boss Dean Glover and Farsley Celtic manager Lee Sinnott are in contention to succeed Martin Foyle at Vale Park and chairman Bratt revealed that the star will be asked to approve the board's choice.
