Hughes eyes new Cottage deal

Mark Hughes is ready to open negotiations with Fulham over an extension to his contract after a relatively successful first season in charge.
The Welshman signed a two-year deal last summer and, with the Cottagers on course for a top-ten finish, Hughes believes he merits a long-term deal.

Hughes admits he had already held preliminary talks with the board and he expects further discussions to lead him towards putting pen to paper.
"I'm hoping to sit down with the club and talk about it," Hughes told The Mirror.
"I have 12 months left and we've had initial discussions, but nothing in terms of really extending the contract.
"Obviously I'm open to conversations in that respect, because I like this club. I think it's a well-run club with good people and we can be successful."
After a difficult first half to the season, Hughes has steadied the ship at Fulham, who are unbeaten in their last eight home games and ninth in the table before the weekend action.
The former Manchester City boss admits he is happy with his current squad, but he expects to freshen up his squad in the summer nonetheless.
"What we've done since Christmas gives you encouragement for next year," he said.
"We have good-quality players here and, like most clubs, we'll try to add to that quality in the summer.
"If we can, I feel confident the next few years will be very successful."

Nolan: Toon right to sell Carroll

Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan believes the club were right to sell Andy Carroll to Liverpool as the fee was an "astronomical sum".
The England striker left St James' Park for Anfield for £35million on transfer deadline day during the January transfer window.

The Magpies could come up against their former striker on Sunday when Alan Pardew's side travel to Merseyside.
Nolan believes Newcastle are better off without Carroll, who is battling to shake off a knee injury to face his old club on Sunday, as the funds from his sale will allow the club to strengthen the squad in the summer.
"It was best for the club," Nolan said on Carroll's departure on January. "It's worked out for us better that Andy's gone although we'd love to have him still here.
"If he was, we'd probably have a few more points on the board and would be able to build a team around him which was going to be great.
"But £35m? Come on. It's an astronomical sum. The club would have taken £10m last season and £4m when we were relegated.
"It shows what he's done in a short space of time and how big he was for us.
"But now he's got a new chapter in his life and we've got a lot of money to spend. If we can get four or five players in for that, it works the best way you can possibly think of.
"We're in such a fantastic position at this moment so let's just see what happens."
Newcastle were tipped to struggle without their star striker, but Nolan believes they have shown they can cope without the England international.
"Everyone's seen we're not just a one man band," added Nolan.
"We've got a core of a team that has played the majority of the season
"Although we've had a few hitches and glitches, we've done really well."

Lampard's goal re-ignites calls for technology

Updated May 1, 2011 1:52 AM ET
LONDON (AP)
Almost a year after being denied a legitimate goal at the World Cup, another contentious strike from Frank Lampard has sparked fresh demands for the use of technology to assist referees in ruling on disputed goals.
A Lampard goal for Chelsea was allowed to stand on Saturday even though replays showed Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes just prevented the ball from fully crossing the line. Chelsea went on to win 2-1 to keep its Premier League title hopes alive.
But while Lampard was the beneficiary on Saturday, he was the aggrieved party at last year's World Cup when his goal was wrongly judged not to have crossed the line, and Germany went on to beat England in their round-of-16 clash.
FIFA's embarrassed hierarchy responded with apologies for that decision and reversed long-held opposition to technology becoming part of the game.
However referees are no closer to being able to use either goal-line technology or replays to aid their decision making.
''When Frank Lampard can hit a shot that goes two foot in the back of the goal and they don't give a goal, it shows you it will continue to happen,'' Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said after Saturday's match, referring to the World Cup strike. ''It takes five seconds to get the right decision. What is wrong with getting the right decision?''
Chelsea benefitted from another contentious decision later in the game, as Salomon Kalou netted the winner despite apparently being offside.
Those two decisions could yet prove financially disastrous for Tottenham, which is struggling to catch Manchester City in the race for fourth place and a berth in the qualification rounds for next year's lucrative Champions League.
''It could cost us 30 million pounds ($50 million),'' Redknapp said.
Even Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged the injustice.
''Looking at the goals on the television, we can say the decision was wrong but it was a very difficult decision,'' Ancelotti said. ''We have to accept this when things are good for us and also when things are against us.''
Redknapp scotched suggestions that technology would strip football of some of the disputed decision-making that promotes so much engagement and interest among fans.
''How's it the fun of the game getting wrong decisions and giving goals when they're not goals or not giving a goal when it should be a goal? The game is about getting decisions right,'' Redknapp said.
Making the right decision about which goal-line system to favor is proving tough for FIFA.
Ten innovations were investigated before the 125th annual meeting in March of the sport's rule-making body - the International Football Association Board - but their accuracy in a range of tests was unacceptable.
Hawk-Eye, whose ball-tracking technology has already been successfully deployed in tennis and cricket, declined to participate but the Sony-owned company is hoping to test its system in a Premier League stadium next season. However the results would be kept secret to prevent the match-day referee's call being undermined.
England's Premier League has invested in Hawk-Eye's tests, with chairman Dave Richards once telling Michel Platini, ''You're killing football,'' in frustration at the UEFA president's strong resistance to technology.
Instead, UEFA has been trialing the use of two additional referees' assistants in European club competitions, and the five-official system will be deployed at the 2012 European Championship.
After the goals at Chelsea, Manchester United striker Michael Owen said it ''shouldn't take an incident like this to spark the authorities into action.''
''(Technology) seems to enhance the entertainment in cricket, rugby etc. so I'm for it,'' Owen wrote on his Twitter account. ''I'm for technology when it comes to determining definite decisions like offsides, ball over line etc. but let's leave the ref to do the rest.
''I reckon it's dangerous having technology for fouls/penalties. Even after 10 replays there can still be a difference of opinion. Then what?''
