The Big Six threat to the continued stability of the Premier League over the distribution of overseas television income was again evident at last week's clubs' summit.

The two Manchester clubs, City and United, are once more at the forefront in trying to end the even split of the £3billion foreign proceeds for the next three-year rights deal.

City chief executive Ferran Soriano, who worked at Barcelona, cannot comprehend how Premier League teams who are most popular abroad do not benefit accordingly.

And United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is not far behind in demanding payments based on the number of TV appearances in the overseas markets.

A vote on the issue was delayed until the next meeting in September and 'the supporting cast', as the other 14 clubs were described, still have the majority to block any changes.

But most clubs seem to accept that changes are inevitable and one proposal is that some of the overseas pot is used to increase teams' annual prize-money based on their final league position.

The Scottish FA must decide whether to extend their lease on Hampden Park, which expires in 2020, for another 20 years.

A detailed financial review will be completed next year. Some are in favour of taking the national team around the country, as England did during Wembley's renovation.

But the special iconic atmosphere at Hampden and the noise it can generate, which must have reached a new high after those two free-kicks from Leigh Griffiths, should make the decision a no-brainer provided the funds are in place to maintain the ground.

The FA are resigned to the three other home nations rejecting any involvement in sending a women's football team to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

So, after the Women's European Championship this summer, England will start organising a side that can still be drawn from four countries.

The Scottish and English FAs may not agree on Team GB football. But they are jointly writing to FIFA about an official plaque to be displayed at West of Scotland cricket ground in the Partick area of Glasgow, where the world's first football international took place in 1872 between England and Scotland.

Delegations from both associations visited the venue before the World Cup qualifier and agreed on combined efforts to bring more recognition to a historic pitch.

Theresa's hit for six

Recent talk among the blazers at MCC has been of plans to fast-track cricket fan Theresa May to membership.

Whether that is still the case after the Tories' election fiasco is a moot point.

An MCC spokesman said: 'If she wanted to be a candidate, she would doubtless be considered if still Prime Minister as her predecessors in office have been.'

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is still to experience a pre-match England captain's press conference — with Adam Lallana standing in for the skipper before the Scotland game. But word inside the England camp is that Kane is certain to be the permanent captain when manager Gareth Southgate decides to have one.

Southgate, who took his squad to a Royal Marines boot camp on a team-bonding exercise, had plenty of experience of similar trips during his playing days. Crystal Palace, where Southgate spent his formative years, often went to a pre-season army camp — partly because it was a cheap option.

The way Southgate's backroom staff, including administrators with their laptops, joined the players in applauding the away fans at Hampden seemed excessive.

Especially considering the massive security arrangements put in place to keep them in order after the vile anthems and unruly misconduct on previous trips.
