Bradford City manager Stuart McCall set to quit

Bradford City boss Stuart McCall says that he is ready to quit as manager of the League Two club.

McCall will meet with joint-chairman Julian Rhodes on Monday to discuss his future after Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Bury left them 16th in the table.

"I will sit down with Julian on Monday and I'll do what's best for the club," McCall told BBC Radio Leeds.

"But it's coming to a stage now where it is time for somebody new to come in. It's just not meant to be."

Notts County manager Hans Backe resigns from his job

Hans Backe has stepped down as Notts County manager after just seven weeks in charge of the League Two club.

The 57-year-old Swede, installed as Ian McParland's successor on a three-year deal on 27 October, announced his decision before training on Tuesday.

Owner Peter Trembling told BBC Radio Nottingham: "It's annoying, it's frustrating and we could have done without it, but we are not panicking."

Assistant manager Dave Kevan will take temporary control of the team.

Sven Goran Eriksson ready to walk out of Notts County over cash row

Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson is on the brink of quitting as director of football at Notts County because he is not being paid the full amount of his seven-figure contract.

His dispute with the owners of the financially-stricken League Two club is due to come to a head over the next week. Unless Eriksson is persuaded that the money owed to him will eventually appear, he will walk out of Meadow Lane.

The Swede, who signed a five-year deal worth £2million a season in July, has a two-tier agreement with Notts under which the club pay a proportion of his salary in keeping with their lowly status.

Sol Campbell ends contract dispute with Notts County

Sol Campbell can sign for another club after settling his contract dispute with Notts County, players' union chief Gordon Taylor has confirmed.

The former Tottenham, Arsenal and Portsmouth defender joined big-spending County in August, but left less than a month into a five-year deal.

League Two County refused to release the 35-year-old's registration but have now reached an agreement to do so.

"Sol Campbell is now a free agent," Taylor told BBC Sport.

"His contract dispute has been resolved and he is free to pursue football in the January transfer window. He can sign for any club he wants now," added Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).
