UPDATED: 17:31 EST, 7 April 2013 Leading the charge: Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano The Premier League's richest membership Manchester City are agitating within the release of Financial Fair Play regulations because of be voted to the statute book on Thursday. Town remain lobbying strongly for more teams to back their opposition to wage restraints and the hat on membership failures that have been recognized by the narrowest helped of Premier League poll edges, with the depth to be arranged this week. A secret gathering of six opposite clubs - City, West Brom, Southampton, Aston Villa, Fulham and Reading - happened at Watford's Grove Hotel just before Easter to go over battleplans. And City chief executive Ferran Soriano, who has held a low profile since arriving at the Etihad Stadium last September, has been chasing assistance for his club's stance. While no legal action was discussed at the Grove, money-no-object City remain the club probably to challenge FFP limits through the courts over restraint of trade. BBC Sport have opted for a better couple of hands than Michael Vaughan as greenside writer at the Masters golf this week following a former England cricket captain's 'schoolboy mistake' question to Tiger Woods a year ago. Vaughan told Woods that he'd acquired three previous Masters to which he responded 'Four, really.' To compound the error, busy Vaughan had to leave the Masters before the end. This gave the impression the Beeb had stood him down, which was not the case. Vaughan hasn't made the cut this year, with BBC providing the interviewing job to freelance sports broadcaster Rishi Persad, who was the main Channel 4 team at the Grand National. Persad, who will be employed in the exact same way at the Open, impressed Beeb bosses at the Ryder Cup.

Davies had to apologise for breaking the parliamentary rule when perhaps not filing A870-worth of food from Ladbrokes at the 2011 Cheltenham Festival before questioning the gambling company's CEO Richard Glynn during a select committee gaming request. It could have now been the start of the finish for Martin O'Neill when unimpressed Sunderland directors attended a recent reception for sponsors. The deposed manager, who spent A30million on signings last summer, told his audience that the playing group was actually the weakest he'd ever maintained. Successor Paolo Di Canio's new rules include Sunderland participants having lunch together at the training ground on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when cell phones will undoubtedly be forbidden. National's great rating Channel 4 executives will be delighted by an impressive viewing peak of 8.9million for their Grand National coverage after the many brickbats the renewed racing production has attracted. It is also good information for Aintree in their search for a fresh A2m-a-year sponsor. Potential backers were waiting to see the reviews and the reception to C4's National broadcast, as well as the horses coming back safely, before getting their interest to the next phase. Frankie Dettori, who has six days to serve on his rushing bar for failing a check, was at the Grand National for the first time. By Dettori's showman requirements, he held a low profile. But he went the Aintree course on the eve of the battle and had pictures taken at the signature walls.

But he broke his two-month silence on Twitter to wish his son Zafar's lover Natalie Coyle fortune singing the National Anthem before yesterday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy closing between Crewe and Southend.
