Anti-Semitic attacks surged worldwide by 38 per cent last year, with the highest number of incidents occurring in France, an annual study has revealed. The report, by Tel Aviv University's Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, said 766 violent anti-Semitic acts were carried out around the world last year - marking a huge increase from the previous year. Arson, vandalism and direct threats against Jews, synagogues and other Jewish institutions were included in the figure, making 2014 the worst year for such attacks since 2009. The study said: 'The overall feeling among many Jewish people is one of living in an intensifying anti-Jewish environment that has become not only insulting and threatening, but outright dangerous. In particular, it cited 'alarming reports especially from Western Europe and North America'. Anger in Western Europe over Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip last July and August, as well as anti-Jewish caricatures in the media and social networks had helped to turn anti-Semitism into an 'almost daily phenomena seen and felt in every sphere of life', the report said. In France, the number of anti-Semitic attacks rose to 164 in 2014 compared with 141 in 2013. In January this year, four hostages were killed in a Paris kosher supermarket in violence that began when Islamist militants carried out a massacre in the office of the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly. Britain registered 141 violent incidents against Jews in 2014, after 95 a year earlier. In one of the most serious attacks a victim was called a 'Jewish c***' and then hit with a glass and a baseball bat in London. In Manchester, a man was knocked off his bike and kicked while on the ground by a group of youths who called him a 'Jew'. In January this year, four hostages were killed in a Paris kosher supermarket in an anti-Semitic attack . The violence began when Islamist militants carried out a massacre in the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine . And a Jewish girl had deodorant sprayed in her face by a 12-year-old fellow pupil who said to her 'gas the Jews' at a school in Edinburgh. The number of anti-Semitic acts in Germany and Italy more than doubled, to 76 and 23 respectively. In Western Europe in particular, the study said, 'the issue is not only a matter of having more security means provided by the respective states, but rather the ability to lead a full Jewish life... especially under heavy police and even army protection'. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stoked controversy in February when he called for 'mass immigration' of European Jews to Israel following a deadly shooting at a synagogue in Denmark. Under Israel's Law of Return, anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent has a right of immigration to Israel and, once there, can receive Israeli citizenship automatically.

Summary: Anti-Semitic attacks worldwide have surged by 38 per cent, study reveals . France remains the country with the highest number of incidents . Last year it registered 164 anti-Semitic attacks, compared to 141 in 2013 . Earlier this year, four hostages were killed at a Paris kosher supermarket . Britain was home to 141 violent incidents, after registering 95 a year earlier .


Singer Adele Adkins, a mother-of-one, has topped the young music rich list again, earning £5million in the last year, despite releasing no new music . It has been almost four years since her last album but that has not stopped Adele from earning £5million over the last year. Bringing her fortune to a total of £50million, the singer has retained her place at the top of the list of Britain’s richest musicians under the age of 30. The mother-of-one, 26, has double the wealth of her closest rivals – the four members of One Direction and their former compatriot Zayn Malik, 22 - who are worth £25million each. However, the country’s rising stars are hot on the singer’s heels. Ed Sheeran, 24, has enjoyed the year’s biggest rise, with a £13million boost taking his fortune to £20million and moving him from 23rd to seventh on the list. While Sam Smith, 22, is a new entry with £12million, placing him on par with Florence Welch, 28, and the pairing of Arctic Monkey’s guitarist Jamie Cook, 29, with his model wife Katie Downes, 30. Adele, full name is Adele Adkins, faces the toughest female competition from the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding singer Ellie Goulding, 28, who, alongside Leona Lewis, 30, Jessie J, 27, and Katie Melua, 30, is worth £13million. Having also sung the theme song for the last James Bond instalment Skyfall, Adele’s hotly anticipated but much delayed third album is believed to be set for a release later this year. This is the fourth year in a row Adele has topped the list of the richest young musicians. With such impressive earning power, many of her contemporaries would look to channel their popularity into other lucrative activities. However, the singer has previously ruled that out, telling Vogue: ‘I have absolutely no intention of going into acting or making perfumes. Adele has amassed twice the wealth of her nearest competitors, the four remaining members of One Direction, plus recently departed Zayn Malik, who are worth £25million each . 'I am a singer. I will stick to what I am good at and not spread myself thin and become mediocre at everything I do.’ The figures have been compiled for the new edition of The Sunday Times Rich List, released this weekend and are based on the information about the stars’ land and property portfolios, stocks in public companies and known assets such as art. The young musicians still have a long way to go to catch their older counterparts. Sir Paul McCartney, 72, and his wife Nancy Shevell, 55, top the list of the richest musicians overall for another year. They have added £20million to their joint fortune this year, bringing their total wealth to £730million. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, 67, and the pop group U2 collectively round off the top three, with £650million and £431million respectively. The highest ranked new entry in the overall list is DJ Calvin Harris, who at 31 is just ineligible for the list of young musicians. Songstress Ellie Goulding is the nearest female competition for Adele, with

Summary: Singer has twice the fortune of nearest rivals, boys from One Direction . Ed Sheeran saw biggest rise of £13million, taking him to seventh place . Sam Smith is new entry with £12million, on a par with Florence Welch . Paul McCartney and wife Nancy Shevell still top the adult rich list .

A shrine created in memory of those killed during the Germanwings crash has revealed the first picture of the hero pilot who tried to break into the plane’s cockpit. Staring straight ahead, eyes firmly on the camera, this is the only photograph to have emerged of Patrick Sonderheimer, the pilot of the doomed flight. Yet the shrine, which was erected in memory of the staff killed during the tragedy, controversially also includes a picture of co-pilot Andreas Lubitz. Scroll down for video . A memorial display at Dusseldorf airport has revealed the first photograph of hero captain Patrick Sondheimer left) who tried to break down the cockpit door to stop killer pilot Andreas Lubitz (second from left) from crashing the aircraft . Mr Lubitz is the man who orchestrated the disaster by steering flight 9525, from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, into the mountains killing all of those on board. It has since emerged that Mr Lubitz had carefully planned the attack using the online pseudonym ‘Skydevil’, according to the German newspaper Bild. As the plane plummeted towards ground, Mr Sondheimer, 36, a father-of-two, tried in vain to save the lives of the 144 passengers and five crew members on board. Moments before, he had left the cockpit in the hands of his co-pilot in order to use the bathroom. When he returned, the door was locked and co-pilot Lubitz, 27, ignored desperate pleas from his colleague to let him back in. In a desperate attempt to stop the fatal crash, Mr Sondheimer spent up to five minutes attempting to smash his way into the cockpit using an axe.

Mrs Sondheimer said: ‘He died a hero but he still died, and we are devastated. The light has gone out of our lives. I am too upset to say any more.’ Shortly before the crash, Mr Sondheimer, the father of a six-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy, had switched from long-haul to short-haul flights in order to spend more time with his young family. During a memorial on March 29, his grandmother Marianne Sondheimer said

Eight guards at Nauru detention centre have been suspended after they posted anti-Islamic messages on social media and were pictured with Pauline Hanson at a recent Reclaim Australia rally. Detention centre operator Transfield Services said the employees – who are part of Nauru's emergency response team - were found to be contravening a company policy that they display 'cultural sensitivity'. A former staffer at Transfield subcontractor Wilson Security said the guards – seven of whom are former Australian Defence personnel - 'frequently referred to asylum seekers in their care as "the enemy"', The Guardian Australia reported.

Harper Lee was not manipulated into publishing her sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, and is not an elder abuse victim, according to an official probe. State authorities were suspicious that the 88-year-old author, who is reportedly deaf and blind, was somehow pushed into publishing the forthcoming Go Set a Watchman, and launched two investigations into the circumstances surrounding the launch. Many feared outside influences were at play as Lee, who lives in an nursing home in Monroeville, Alabama, had said for decades she wanted To Kill a Mockingbird to be her only published novel. Scroll down for video . Of sound mind: Investigators concluded that Harper Lee, pictured above in 2009, is in a fit state to make decisions about the future of the forthcoming novel Go Set a Watchman . Officials at the state's Department of Human Resources confirmed Monday that their investigation had been completely closed. Earlier Alabama's Securities Commission had sent an investigator to speak with her, and said that she answered their questions well enough to convince them she made her own decision, and knew what was happening with her book. The DHR investigation remained open for a time, but spokesman Barry Spear has confirmed that they are now also satisfied that nothing is amiss. Earlier suspicions had in part been fired by the fact that Lee's attorneys had announced the release, due in July, and that publishing house HarperCollins had not had any direct contact with her. Elderly: Lee lives in this nursing home in Monroeville, Alabama, and has reportedly been deaf and blind since 2007 . Bobby Segall, a lawyer representing Lee's attorney Tonja Carter, confirmed Monday that they received a letter saying that DHR was closing the investigation with no findings. HarperCollins has announced a July 14 release date for Go Set a Watchman, and will print an initial run of 2million copies. The book is high on Amazon's best-seller list despite some concerns about the novel, which Lee wrote before To Kill A Mockingbird. Lee had long expressed that she's happy to have 1960's Mockingbird' - which won a Pulitzer, was adapted into a movie and sold more than 40 million copies worldwide - as her only published book. Go Set a Watchman, a 304-page novel, is a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, although Lee actually wrote it in the mid-1950s, before Mockingbird. Old and new: Go Set a Watchman is a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird - though Lee actually wrote it before the best-selling novel which secured her reputation . The new novel will feature Scout, Mockigbird's protagonist, as an adult woman returning to Maycomb, Alabama from New York City 20 years after the events of To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee thought she had lost the novel's manuscript - but her attorney Tonja Carter found it recently. A statement from Lee, released by HarperCollins, said: 'In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called Go Set a Watchman. 'It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who

Summary: Famed author's second novel, Go Set a Watchman, is due out on July 14 . Authorities feared Lee had been pushed into releasing the long-lost sequel . She previously said she wanted Mockingbird to be her only published work . State investigators went to Monroeville, Alabama, to speak with her .

A Wyoming State Penitentiary inmate has pleaded guilty to trying — from behind bars — to hire a hit man to kill his mother and stepfather so he could collect life insurance money and inherit their house. Andrew Silicani, 23, of Cheyenne pleaded guilty on Monday in federal court to four counts of using the mail in his unsuccessful plan to hire someone to carry out the murders. He faces up to 40 years at sentencing this summer. 'I think it's fair to say you'll be looking at some time in custody,' U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal told Silicani as she advised him of his rights. Andrew Silicani, 23, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, pleaded guilty on Monday to trying — from behind bars — to hire a hit man to kill his mother and stepfather so he could inherit their house . Silicani pleaded guilty to all charges against him with no agreement from prosecutors to recommend a lesser sentence. Defense lawyer James Barrett told Freudenthal that Silicani had rejected a plea offer from federal prosecutors that would have capped his prison time at 35 years and blocked the possibility that state prosecutors will seek to charge him with separate violations of state law. Speaking after the hearing, Barrett said he thinks it's likely that Silicani will face additional state prosecution. Barrett said Silicani's decision to reject the federal plea offer reflected Silicani's view that a 35-year federal sentence would be excessive. Recounting his actions to support his guilty pleas, Silicani told Freudenthal, 'I used the mail, wrote four letters asking for this to be done — for the murders of my mom and stepdad. I understand what I've done. I felt that pleading guilty would be best.' Silicani told the judge he regarded his actions as 'a big error in judgment — I'd take it back if I could.' Silicani was serving a five- to seven-year sentence at the state prison in Rawlins for conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery resulting in bodily injury, according to the Department of Corrections. He was sentenced in April 2012. According to an FBI agent's statement filed in court, a confidential source contacted prison staff in November and reported that Silicani had asked if the source would be willing to kill Silicani's mother and stepfather. Investigators had the source direct Silicani to correspond with an FBI agent posing as a hit man. Silicani provided the supposed hit man with the names and address of his parents and said he didn't want to pay more than $100,000 for the 'demolition work.' Court records said Silicani expected to receive $850,000 in life insurance and property. The confidential source told law enforcement that Silicani was excited at the prospect of the murders and said he planned to buy, 'a Cadillac Escalade, clothes and jewelry.'

Friends of murdered Indiana University student Hannah Wilson have said she was last seen at the same bar where Lauren Spierer partied before she vanished in 2011. Wilson's body was found in rural Brown County, about 10 miles from the campus, on Friday morning after a night out. Daniel Messel, 49, was arrested hours later and has been charged in her death. Circumstances of her disappearance are 'eerily similar' to the case of 20-year-old Spierer, police told Fox59, and they will be looking into the case again. Spierer vanished after a night out at Kilroy's Sports Bar in Bloomington with a group of friends nearly four years ago. Her body has never been found and no criminal charges have ever been filed. 'Eerily similar': Student Hannah Wilson, left, was found murdered hours after leaving a bar in Bloomington, Indiana last week - nearly four years after Lauren Spierer, right, vanished after leaving the same bar . On Monday, Wilson's friends said she had been partying in downtown Bloomington and they were also going to go to Kilroy's Sports Bar, but deemed that she was too drunk to join them there. The group put Wilson into a taxi alone around 1am on Friday and gave the driver her address. Her body was found near Lake Lemon at around 8.30am. She died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the county coroner, and preliminary results of an autopsy show she was struck three or four times in the back of the head with an object. Her only other injuries were superficial abrasions and bruises that the coroner said were protective, rather than defensive, wounds. 'Like trying to prevent her head from being hit,' he told The Herald-Times. Wilson was found fully clothed and there was no sign of sexual assault, police told Sky News. Toxicology reports for the woman will not be available for ten to 14 days. Police said they traced a cellphone found near Wilson's feet to Daniel Messel and after they arrested him, investigators found blood in his vehicle, according to a probable cause affidavit. Arrested: Daniel Messel, 49, has been arrested on suspicion of her murder. A cellphone that police traced back to Messel was found at Wilson's feet and investigators allegedly found blood inside his vehicle . Last seen: Her friends went to this bar in Bloomington but, thinking that Wilson was too drunk, put her in a taxi to go home. Spierer also spent time at the same bar before she vanished in 2011 . Messel's stepfather, Gerald Messel, told Fox59 that the man spoke of meeting a girl called 'Hannah' at bars near the university campus ahead of her death. Gerald Messel, who lives with his stepson, said he was surprised when the man failed to come home on Thursday evening and he failed to go to work the next day. When Daniel Messel arrived back home, he was arrested by police, he said. Troopers have confiscated his computer, phone and vehicle. This is also not Messel's first run in with the police, according the

Gary Player will attend his 58th Masters this week fully expecting to welcome a new member to the game’s most exclusive club and salute what he considers would be one of the sport’s finest accomplishments. The great man considers Tiger Woods completing the career Grand Slam at the age of just 24 as the best golfing feat he has seen. So you can imagine how excited he is at the prospect of Rory McIlroy becoming just the sixth player to win all four majors at only 25. ‘I’m not sure people fully realise what a magnificent effort it would be,’ said the South African legend. ‘When I completed my Slam at 29 I said to my wife that you will never see that done again. Then Jack Nicklaus came along and did it at 26 and then Tiger at 24. Jack Nicklaus watches his shot go for a birdie on the 17th at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta in 1986 . Rory McIlroy meets up with South African Golf Legend Gary Player during the pro-am in 2009 . Rory McIlroy, pictured in action at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and is favourite to win the Masters . ‘Now we have Rory, and I tell you this: I honestly believe he is going to do it. I just believe everything is going to fall into place for him, that he will learn from the mistakes he made when he messed up in 2011 and put everything right.’ It is not hard to see why Player would have such a special affinity for McIlroy. Two men of similar stature who came from a foreign land to take on the Americans in the majors in their own backyard; two men with a commitment to fitness with minds strong enough to ward off all the criticism. Forget Tiger. It was Player, of course, who wrote the book when it came to golfers and fitness. Heavens, he is still doing 1,300 sit-ups and squatting 300lb every morning even now, at the age of 79. He is withering in his contempt of those who say McIlroy is ‘bulking up’ too much in the gym. ‘I’m going to guess most of the critics are fat and don’t watch what they eat,’ he says. ‘Just because they’re lazy, they can’t grasp that fitness is so vital. Tom Watson presents Player with a Green Jacket after the 1978 Masters Tournament at Augusta National . ‘I was told that because I was so keen on fitness my career in golf would be over early and I wouldn’t win any tournaments after the age of 34. I was told I had no chance of winning the US Open if I was squatting 325lb the previous evening. What rubbish. ‘I’m just so pleased to see travelling gymnasiums on the circuit and that most players see the value of putting themselves through the pain barrier. I used to go down to the local YMCA wherever we were playing and sometimes wait 20 minutes to use the equipment. But it you want to be a superstar,

It's the nation famed for its gastronomy which gave birth to haute cuisine and the Michelin Guide . But almost three quarters of all dishes served in French bistros, brasseries and cafes are shipped in from a factory and microwaved, according to a top restaurateur. Xavier Denamur sparked fury after he exposed France as a country of microwave cheats and even went as far as to compare it as being the culinary equivalent of a low-cost airline. Xavier Denamur sparked fury after he exposed France as a country of microwave cheats and even went as far as to compare chefs' corner-cutting as being the culinary equivalent of a low-cost airline . 'The microwave has become the chef's best friend,' he told The Times. Unesco has named France's 'gastronomic meal' a world treasure and the country still welcomes more tourists than any other nation. But there are signs that its crown as the world's culinary king has been slipping for some time. Last year, the country that gave us the croissant, coq au vin and moules mariníères, as well as introducing the concept of L'apéritif, did not get a single entry in to the top ten of the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards. Xavier Denamur has claimed that almost three quarters of all meals served in French bistros, brasseries and cafes are shipped in from a factory and microwaved . Instead the list was dominated by Spain, the UK, USA, Brazil with Denmark as number one, with only five French restaurants making it into the awards at all. The French government was so concerned they called on two multi-Michelin-starred chefs to draw up battle plans. But even chefs Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy, who have now put together a 20-point plan, admitted that France's global culinary influence 'is no longer the same'. They added that France's mid-to-low range restaurants, particularity in tourist traps like Mont Saint Michel or the banks of the Seine, let the country down. The chefs recommended stricter criteria should also be introduced on food with the 'home-made' label in restaurants which currently allows most frozen and vacuum-packed food. A survey by catering union Synhorcat in 2014 suggested 31 per cent of restaurants (not including cafeterias, bars and fast food outlets) used industrially prepared foods. But Mr Denamur, who revealed the trade secrets in his book Et si on se mettait enfin a table? (And if We Sat Down to Eat at Last?) claimed the figures were as high as seven in ten dishes served in cafes, brasseries and bistros were made in a factory and re-heated. In his book he said the dominant low cost model imposed by the 'greedy' producers of frozen food has 'trapped independent restaurants and sacked the planet.' Last year the French government passed a law which was meant to force restaurants to label the dishes they prepare from fresh ingredients in their own kitchens as 'fait maison' (homemade). But ministers have been forced to admit that the law had failed as diners had little faith in the new label. Commerce minister Carole Delga said

Summary: Xavier Denamur claims most dishes in French bistro aren't made on site . He said seven in ten meals are factory-made then reheated in microwave . Signs that France's crown as top culinary destination in world is slipping . French ministers admitted scheme to introduce a homemade label failed .


Christian Benteke has revealed a secret. Despite what appeared cast-iron evidence to the contrary, he does not practise free-kicks. He has taken only a handful in his career. Yet with seven minutes to go in a game Aston Villa dared not lose, he stepped forward, pushing aside team-mates, to curl his dead-ball opportunity over the Queens Park Rangers wall and into the net. Precious point rescued. ‘I surprised myself!’ he says, laughing. ‘When I saw it, Charles N’Zogbia said, “I want to shoot”. But I said, “I want to take it”. Christian Benteke bends a free-kick over the QPR wall to rescue a point for Aston Villa last week . Benteke jumps for joy after sealing his hat-trick in the relegation battle with QPR at Villa Park . The Belgium striker admitted he even surprised himself by finding the back of the net with the free kick . ‘It wasn’t about the hat-trick, it was more about if I can take the free-kick or not, if I can hit the target. I have only taken one before for Villa, against Swansea, and I hit the post.’ What happens should a chance come from similar range against Liverpool? ‘I’ll take it. Sometimes you have to try.’ So speaks a striker of soaring confidence. Eight goals in his last six games, the latest a towering header to take all three points at Tottenham, Benteke is bang in form and relishing the prospect of an FA Cup semi-final. Sitting to discuss the match in a dressing room at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training complex, he looks as if he would like to be on Wembley’s turf post-haste. He has been rejuvenated under Tim Sherwood, scoring a goal every 87 minutes since the new Villa manager took over. The unnerving thing for Liverpool is that he says he will get better. Benteke rises above Fererico Fazio to head the winning goal for Aston Villa against Tottenham on Saturday . Benteke points to the sky in celebration after scoring his eighth goal in six matches . Benteke is in the kind of form which could see Tim Sherwood's Villa escape from Premier League relegation . ‘I still think I can do more, in everything,’ he insists. ‘I can’t say I’m happy to be there now, I want to do more and more.’ That insatiable appetite is understandable after a disheartening year, starved first of football, then chances. It was April 3, 2014, when a loud crack was heard across Bodymoor’s training pitches signalling Benteke’s ruptured achilles. His World Cup dream was over. Parents Jean-Pierre and Marie-Claire cancelled their tickets to Brazil. Six months of rehabilitation followed before Benteke’s return last October. A red card on his third start against Tottenham kept him out for another brief period. There was a splendid goal at Crystal Palace, then another against Manchester United. A third came against Blackpool in the FA Cup third round. Dazzlingly good, but these strikes were isolated. Benteke never appeared his barnstorming self. His movement was limited, his impact negligible. Villa’s safety-first style was a significant factor.

Summary: Aston Villa face Liverpool at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday . Liverpool will have to keep Villa's in-form Christian Benteke quiet . The Belgium international has scored eight goals in six games for Villa . Striker says that new manager Tim Sherwood has given him freedom . Benteke struggled for form earlier this season after recovering from injury . A year ago he ruptured his achilles and missed the World Cup . Benteke returned in October but did not hit top gear straight away .


Jaap Stam had just ordered a new kitchen for his Cheshire home when he was informed by Sir Alex Ferguson that he was being sold to Lazio. The then Manchester United manager didn’t mention in the same conversation that his son, Jason, stood to make a seven-figure sum in his role as an agent in the deal. No, Stam’s representatives would discover that later. Raheem Sterling shakes hands with Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers during training on Thursday . The two were at Melwood alongside the rest of the Liverpool squad in preparation for clash with Arsenal . Rodgers remains confident that Sterling will stay and the situation will be resolved in the summer . Sterling is quite within his rights to get the best possible deal he can for himself, according to Roy Keane . But even so, it prompted Roy Keane to explain to me – for a column I was ghosting at the time - why a footballer should ‘always look after No 1’. United’s captain scoffed at the idea that loyalty really existed in football. ‘Jaap has discovered that, to football clubs, players are just expensive pieces of meat,’ said Keane, without a hint of concern as to how his views might impact on his own relationship with his employers. Keane would probably feel Raheem Sterling is quite within his rights to get the best possible deal he can for himself. Sterling might be 20 and he might want what seems a ludicrous amount of money for a player, while hugely promising, remains relatively unproven. But he already has a young family to support and he has ambitions not just to win trophies but to make as much money as he possibly can. In truth, the only issue right now is how he is choosing to go about getting what he wants. He has an agent, in Aidy Ward, who is developing something of a reputation for an aggressive strategy for his clients – we saw as much when he turned up at Old Trafford last month with Saido Berahino – and the approach he is employing here is not exactly endearing Sterling to anyone. Sterling's agent Aidy Ward next to Saido Berahino (centre) at Old Trafford for Man United against Arsenal . Jaap Stam was a fixture of Manchester United's central defence from 1998-2001 before being sold to Lazio . Former Manchester United midfielder Keane insists that a footballer should 'always look after No 1' My guess is Liverpool wouldn’t have been as upset by his appearance on the BBC as some might think. Sterling and Ward should probably realise that, right now, £100,000 a week is a generous offer. Just as they should realise that switching to a club like Manchester City might not be the smartest move at this stage of his development. Better to remain at Anfield where he will play regularly under Brendan Rodgers; a manager who hasn’t exactly done a bad job of developing Sterling so far. On Friday, Rodgers said he remained confident that Sterling would stay; that the situation would resolve

Summary: Raheem Sterling is quite within his rights to get the best possible deal . The only issue right now is how he's choosing to go about doing it . Liverpool forward should realise that £100k-a-week is a generous offer . Switching to another club now would not be good idea for his development .


Penny Davison, 59, the ex-wife of a professional gambler and racehorse trainer, has launched a bid for a bigger slice of his legacy, claiming he avoided a huge tax bill by dying . The ex-wife of a professional gambler and racehorse trainer has launched a bid for a bigger slice of his legacy, claiming he avoided a huge tax bill by dying. Albert Davison made a fortune by landing a series of six-figure bets on his own horses. When he died, aged 73, he owned a seven-bedroom country estate in Surrey which had been valued at £4.25million. But before he died, in 2011, he and his second wife Penny Ann Davison, 59, fought a bitter battle through the divorce courts for four years over his fortune, before she was awarded just £750,000. A judge found that Mr Davison had squandered millions of his winnings through 'wasteful expenditure' and 'bad decision making.' But now his beautician ex-wife has now appeared back in court, seeking to boost her slice to more than £1million by claiming his death has freed up more of his cash by allowing him to avoid a huge tax bill. Lord Justice Patten, Lord Justice Briggs and Lady Justice King, sitting at London's Appeal Court, heard that the couple met in 1989 and enjoyed a relationship for five years before marrying in 1994. They had two children before separating in 1999. Divorce proceedings were started by Mrs Davison in 2005 and the battle over the division of the matrimonial assets dragged on for four years. Mr Davison had put the family racing stables, and seven-bedroom detached former matrimonial home at Tillingdown Farm, near Woldingham, into a complex structure of offshore companies and trusts and denied that he had any stake in the property. His lawyers argued that the farm into which he had sunk his gambling fortune was all held in trust for Zoe Davison, his daughter from his first marriage, and his two children from his marriage to Mrs Davison. However, divorce judge, Mrs Justice Baron, ordered the trust controlling the farm to pay out a £756,000 lump sum to Mrs Davison. In her ruling, the judge said the divorce had 'a tragically long history' and had run up 'mammoth' legal costs. She said the late Mr Davison was a 'very successful gambler' and 'excellent' trainer in the late 1970s early 1980s. Hawthorne Glen with Albert Davison after winning at Folkestone. Mr Davison made a fortune by landing a series of six-figure bets on his own horses. When he died, aged 73, he owned a seven-bedroom country estate in Surrey which had been valued at £4.25million . 'I found the husband to be a charming rogue. I liked him', the judge said, but added: 'Despite that I consider that he is a shrewd and manipulative individual who told me many untruths. 'His habitual modus operandi is to ignore authority and do things his way and on his terms'. She also dubbed Mr Davison 'a master of the betting coup', saying that, in December 1978, a gamble at Leicester was alleged

UKIP will be counting on England batting coach Graham Thorpe voting for them in the General Election . Thorpe revealed that he had signed a form supporting the right-wing party, led by Nigel Farage, a year ago . Thorpe says of the UKIP approach: ‘It was when I had just had a few drinks. So I shall read through all the manifestos before making a decision.’ Other big-name cricketers who have been linked with UKIP are Sir Ian Botham and Geoffrey Boycott but both deny any association. Botham called speculation that UKIP wanted him to stand at the Election against Ed Miliband ‘total rubbish’.

A property developer in a wealthy Connecticut suburb believes his family are the victims of small-town vengeance which saw his son demoted in the local Little League to punish him for threatening the town's overwhelmingly white ethnic makeup. Christopher Stefanoni, a 50-year-old from Darien, a town of 21,000 with a median household income of $200,000, says his nine-year old was kicked off his team and put in a lower-ranking one just after he proposed developments involving affordable housing. According to a lawsuit filed by Stefanoni, locals are so worried at the prospect of the town's black population - currently 70 people, or 0.33 per cent - getting any bigger that they hit back through the medium of baseball. Small-town fury: Christopher Stefanoni, 50, says his nine-year-old son was moved into a lower Little League team because his affordable housing homes threatened the ethnic makeup of the extremely white town . As well as his son being booted to a lesser team in the league, Stefanoni was also banned from coaching. The town and the Little League both deny that the goings-on of the Little League and Stefanoni's housing plans are linked. In court documents they describe his grievance as 'an imaginary slight that has no connection to reality'. U.S. Census information says that Darien is 94 per cent white, with 620 Hispanic residents and fewer than 100 blacks. Stefanoni said two proposals were rejected by town officials; a 16-apartment complex with five affordable units, and a 30-apartment one with nine affordable units. He said: 'Darien is a little white enclave, sort of a holdout segregated town. The attitudes that people in Darien have are very exclusionary, demeaning. 'When they go after your kids, they've crossed the line'. The town has previously been investigated by the Justice Department over a policy which gave affordable housing priority to people who already lived and worked in Darien. Swanky: This photograph shows Darien's downtown area, complete with picturesque New England architecture and expensive cars parked up in front of boutique stores . The policy was dropped before the investigation finished. The lawsuit and a federal housing investigation reopened old wounds in Darien. The town was made famous by the 1947 Oscar-winner Gentleman's Agreement, starring Gregory Peck, which depicted anti-Semitic residents conspiring not to sell property to Jews. Stefanoni and his wife, Margaret, filed the lawsuit in 2013 against the Darien Little League those who were in charge when their son was demoted, in fall 2010. The demotion came just days after Stefanoni filed an affordable housing application for property right next to the home of a former league official. Several months later, Stefanoni was banned from coaching in the league. Lawyers for the Little League deny the allegations and have filed a motion to have the suit dismissed. According to court documents, league officials say they made a mistake placing the Stefanoni's son on a higher-level team, after the housing application was filed, and corrected the error by moving him to another team. Sceptical: Deli owner Rob WIlliamson, pictured in front of his store, does not

A new antibody injection could 'wipe out advanced cancer' by rooting out and obliterating tumours, scientists have revealed. The research has been hailed a 'tour de force', raising hopes the body's immune system could be trained to attack melanoma, pancreatic, breast and lung cancer. The team at Stanford University School of Medicine believe the laboratory-engineered antibodies could eradicate not only primary tumours, but also distant metastases that have spread through the body. Professor Edgar Engleman, senior author of the study, said: 'The potency is impressive. 'You actually see tumour eradication.' A new study has suggested an antibody injection could 'wipe out cancer' by rooting out and eradicating both primary tumours and distant metastases, where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body . Their findings have been hailed a 'tour de force', raising hopes the body's immune system could be trained to attack melanoma, pancreatic, lung and breast cancer, pictured . His team concluded their approach differed to other potential treatments that only apply to specific cancers, in that it could target a wide range of solid tumours. The process relies on the same mechanism as that which causes animals' bodies to reject organ transplants, researchers said. In both cases, antibodies - molecules that detect foreign substances in the body - trigger the immune system. They bind themselves to proteins from the foreign tissue - in this case the tumour - and through the use of signalling cells, alert T-cells, that act like the immune's system's SWAT team. When the T-cells come into contact with the 'unwelcome' tissue, they attack and destroy it. Researchers isolated the antibodies from mice that were found to be resistant to the cancers. They then injected these antibodies, along with chemicals that activated signalling cells, known as dendritic cells, into cancerous mice. The mice mounted an immune response and were found to remain cancer-free for more than a year. Once primed to recognise the cancerous tissue, the T-cells would multiply and not only attack the tumour, but hunt down any metastatic cells travelling through the body. The team concluded their approach differed to other potential treatments that only apply to specific cancers, in that it could target a wide range of solid tumours, including melanoma, pictured . Dr Yaron Carmi, the lead author, discovered both antibodies and the signalling, dendritic cells are both crucial for tumour elimination. 'Within hours after injection, these tumour cells are already coated with antibodies,' he said. He added when the team disabled the antibodies' ability to bind to the tumours, or the dendritic cells' ability to ingest the tumours, the T-cells failed to eradicate the cancer. 'T-cells contain the bullets, but in our system, the antibodies start the whole thing off,' Professor Engleman, said. By adding chemicals that encouraged the growth of the signalling, dendritic cells, to the antibodies, the researchers were able to eliminate six different types of cancer - two melanomas, lymphoma, breast, lung and pancreatic cancer. 'Dr Carmi was able to show that this combination therapy was extraordinary powerful,' said Professor Engleman. 'Pretty much we could eliminate

A fugitive Iraqi militant leader and the former right-hand man of Saddam Hussein has reportedly been killed in a skirmish. Iraqi officials said Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri had died in fighting with government troops in Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad. Al-Douri, 72, headed the Naqshbandi Order insurgent group, an important faction behind the recent rise of ISIS. Scroll down for video . Al-Douri was an Iraqi military commander and was Vice Chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council, until the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq . Al-Douri was the King of Clubs in the famous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam's regime after its collapse . He was one of Saddam's most trusted henchmen, helping to lead his 1968 bloodless coup. Both Al-Douri and Saddam came from the same Tikriti tribal background. He was then deputy to Saddam when he was deposed following the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Following the execution of Saddam Hussein on 30 December, 2006, Al-Douri was confirmed as the new leader of the banned Ba'ath Party. Al-Douri was deemed the most high-profile official of Saddam's Ba'ath Party to evade capture after the invasion. He was ranked sixth on the US military's list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis after offensive to overthrow Saddam and had a $10m bounty on his head. He was the King of Clubs in the infamous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam's regime after its collapse.

He said: 'This is a major victory for those involved in the operation. He is considered a mastermind for this terrorist group. 'For sure this will have an impact on them...there will be a break among them.' ISIS currently controls a swath of land slightly larger than the UK, from Aleppo to central Iraq. However, in recent months Iraqi forces, supported by US-led air strikes, have captured large areas from the terrorist group. But today, a car bomb killed three people outside the U.S. consulate in Erbil, the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan region that is allied with Washington in a war against Islamic State, which claimed the attack. No U.S. personnel were hurt in the blast, according to the State Department which said a 'vehicle-borne improvised explosive device' exploded right outside the entrance to the heavily fortified compound.

Homeowners could face an early rise in interest rates if Ed Miliband is propped up in Downing Street by the SNP, a major bank warned last night. US giant Morgan Stanley said the prospect of a Labour government reliant on the Scottish Nationalists would create the ‘greatest uncertainty’ of any election result. Its inevitable ‘anti-austerity’ agenda could lead to an ‘earlier bank rate hike than was previously the case’, the bank argued. US giant Morgan Stanley said the prospect of a Labour government reliant on the Scottish Nationalists would create the ‘greatest uncertainty’ of any election result . Last night, a second major bank, Goldman Sachs, also raised concerns about the same outcome on May 7. Goldman said Labour would be ‘dragged to the Left’ by the SNP, which would result in even more money going north of the border ‘at the expense of the UK as a whole’. It warned that Labour would be then expected to abandon its pledge to manage the public finances carefully. The reports are a double blow to Labour’s attempts to convince voters that the economy would be in safe hands with a Mr Miliband-led government. In an election research note, Morgan Stanley said that a Labour-led government reliant on the ‘anti-austerity and separatist SNP’ would lead investors to predict a ‘substantially looser fiscal policy’. Goldman also warned in a note to investors that a ‘Leftward shift’ could cause share prices to fall in UK firms – particularly those hit by tougher regulation and higher taxes such as banks and energy companies. Nicola Sturgeon's (left) Scottish National Party would drag Ed Miliband (right) and the Labour party into its anti-austerity agenda, Goldman Sachs warned last night . By contrast, it said the Conservative-led coalition ‘has established some credibility in markets as a consequence of its contribution to the stabilisation of the economy and revival of growth that has been achieved since 2010.’ As a result ‘it is likely that business sentiment would be supported by the emergence of a Conservative government’. Goldman also pointed out that whoever wins the election will inevitably be hit by ‘financial shocks’ in the coming years. ‘Given the mixed record of Labour administrations at dealing with such challenges in the past, the business community may be sceptical that a Labour-led government would deliver market-friendly policies.’ The comments mark another vote of confidence for Chancellor George Osborne, who was praised last week by International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde for his handling of the economy. A Tory spokesman said: ‘This confirms that working people will pay the price for an SNP-Ed Miliband government. ‘Mortgage rate rises will hit homeowners. Higher borrowing will mean higher taxes and more debt for our children to repay.’ Chris Leslie, Labour’s shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, said: ‘Labour is pro-business, but not business as usual. We want more competition in banking, a British Investment Bank to boost lending and action to tackle tax avoidance. ‘The big threat to the City and our economy is a re-elected Tory government taking Britain out of the EU.’ The comments

Summary: Major bank warns against Labour government propped up by the the SNP . Morgan Stanley says anti-austerity agenda would lead to bank rate hike . Second bank says Labour would be dragged to the left by the nationalists . Report a blow to the party's attempt to show voters economic competence .

Southampton supporters are planning on turning St Mary’s orange when they face Tottenham on Saturday to shun former manager Mauricio Pochettino. Fans are campaigning to show support for their Dutch manager Ronald Koeman, his brother and assistant head coach Erwin Koeman and fitness coach Jan Kluitenberg. They are encouraging match-goers to wear orange instead of the usual red and white club colours to display their discontent at Pochettino leaving last year. Southampton fans have not forgiven Mauricio Pochettino for leaving Saints for Spurs . Pochettino and Ronald Koeman embrace on Southampton's visit to White Hart Lane in October . Morgan Schneiderlin takes the ball past Stoke's Steven N'Zonzi in Southampton's last game - a 2-1 defeat . The Argentine is returning to St Mary’s for the first time since he signed a five-year deal at Spurs last May. After he left, a swathe of key players followed and the place was shrouded in uncertainty about the season ahead. But Koeman made some shrewd signings to replace those departed and has guided the team to challenge for a place in Europe. Christian Eriksen in congratulated by Tottenham team-mates after scoring in last week's win over Newcastle . Southampton fans are planning to show their support for Koeman's achievements by wearing orange . The outcome of the meeting with Pochettino could prove crucial in both clubs' pursuit of European football. That is why fans are preparing the 'Ronald Koeman Day' to place extra pressure on Pochettino and his team. The idea is thought to have come from the owner of clothing range Raw Spirit, Liam Edgar, who has designed orange t-shirts with Koeman’s quote ‘the key is to believe in ourselves’ emblazoned on the front. Local pubs, bars and restaurants have got behind the campaign.

Older workers are suffering dismal pay rises while those awarded to the youngest workers have gone up by nine times as much. The gap between wage rises for young and older staff has widened significantly during the past five years, amid claims the over-50s are being left behind, official figures reveal. Critics said employers were cynically taking advantage of older workers who stay with the same company for longer by failing to train and promote them or give them decent annual pay rises. The under-25s saw their wages rise more than eight times faster than the over-50s, as they quickly climbed the rungs of the career ladder . Last year, workers aged 18 to 24 received bumper 10.6 per cent pay rises, falling to 3.8 per cent for people aged 25 to 34 and to 2 per cent for workers aged 36 to 49. For workers aged 50 to 64, pay rises plunge to a meagre 1.2 per cent, official figures show – significantly below the UK average of 2.1 per cent. The Office for National Statistics revealed in its latest Economic Review that the under-25s are five times as likely to have moved jobs in the past three months than workers over-50. But while younger workers often receive greater pay rises because they move jobs more frequently, official data shows that the gap is widening. In 2009, Britain’s youngest workers received pay rises three times greater than older workers, but this has now widened to nine times greater. In the last three months of 2014, 5.4 per cent of 18-25-year-olds changed jobs, compared to only 1.2 per cent of 50-64-year-olds . Experts said the growing gulf between the generations could signal a reluctance by employers to train and promote older members of staff. Ros Altmann, a Whitehall adviser on older workers, said: ‘Younger people’s pay is rising faster than average and the rate of increase is accelerating. ‘It could be because younger people are the most likely to receive training, with employers keen to focus on the newer workers and spending far less on training older workers. ‘With the pace of change in technology and processes being so rapid nowadays, the need for ongoing training is more important than ever, so people do not fall behind in terms of pay and productivity.’ Labour leader Ed Miliband today renewed his attack on the government, claiming the Tories 'believe in the old idea that as long as the rich and powerful are OK then everyone else will succeed' She also criticised the Government for subsidising training for under-25s, ‘so that employers find it much cheaper to train youngsters than older workers’. She added: ‘The increase in pay for younger workers is great news and shows they are progressing well. On the other hand, those who are in their later years seem less likely to be treated so generously and have not been able to enjoy the same kind of pay growth as younger colleagues.’ Lisa Harris, at over-50s specialist firm Saga, said: ‘Many older workers have spent years climbing the career ladder and

Summary: Workers aged 18-25 saw wages rise eight times faster than over 50s . In three months, 5.4% of 18-25-year-olds changed jobs, 1.2% aged 50-64 . ONS says young have 'willingness to move to higher-paying positions'

Child Protection Services have again seized the two 'free range' children of a mother and father whose unusual approach to parenting has become a national debate. Danielle and Alexander Meitiv, both scientists in Maryland, made headlines just before Christmas when police found Rafi, 10 and Dvora, six, wandering the sidewalk on their own. On Sunday, a concerned citizen reportedly called authorities once again after seeing the siblings unaccompanied near a neighborhood park around a third of a mile from their home. The children were picked up by police, who say they followed protocol by turning them over to CPS. Meanwhile, Mrs Meitiv tells Fox 5 DC that CPS workers left her and her husband to panic for hours before letting them know their kids were safe. Picked up AGAIN: The Meitivs say they were left to panic for hours by CPS workers after their children--who they raise with a so-called 'free-range' approach--were picked up by police for the second time in two months while walking down the street alone . Taught a lesson? The Meitivs say their kids Dvora and Rafi went missing starting around 6pm. They were not reunited with them until 10:30 . What's more, the elder child, Rafi, insists the scariest part of the hours-long ordeal was being picked up by police. ‘They kept the kids for hours,’ a shaken Danielle Meitiv told Fox 5 after being reunited with them. ‘It’s 10:30 at night. They’ve been missing since 6 o’clock…Somebody called 911 and the police called CPS and they decided to bring the kids here and they didn’t call us.’ According to Mrs. Meitiv, the children were expected home no later than 6:30. When 6:30 came and went, they became frantic. They would not receive a call from CPS until 8pm. Even then, they say they weren't reunited with their children or even told where they were for hours. in the interim, Rafi tells Fox 5 that initially he believed the responding police officer was simply offering them a lift. Rafi said: . ‘The policeman said “We’ll give you a ride home” when we were like two blocks away. And two and a half hours later, after sitting in the car two and a half hours, he said “I’ll bring you home” and, instead, he brought us here.’ 'Besides the policeman pulling up...no': Asked if he was scared during the hours-long ordeal Sunday, 10-year-old Rafi admitted he was, but not because he'd been left alone with his sister . Seized: Officials seized six-year-old Dvora (left, far left) and 10-year-old Rafi (left, blue hat) on Sunday in a Maryland park. Their parents Danielle and Alexander Meitiv are pictured, right, going to confront CPS officials . Free-range parenting is the name given to a style of raising kids in opposition to so-called 'helicopter parenting'. 'Helicopter parents' are named for their habit of hovering over their offspring, micro-managing their lives in an attempt to keep them safe. However critics believe this creates under-confident, over-reliant children, while also causing the parents stress. Free-range parents advocate a more hands-off approach, where children are allowed

Summary: Police seized Rafi, 10, and Dvora, 6, in a Maryland park on Sunday and their parents say they weren't reunited by CPS for hours . Scientists Danielle and Alexander Meitiv believe in 'free range parenting' meaning the children are afforded total independence from infancy . The Meitivs were found guilty of neglect in March. After Sunday's incident they were forced sign a paper pledging not to leave them unattended .


If you had £140,000 to splurge, would you splash out on an Aston Martin DB9 Volante or maybe even a three-bedroom detached house in Nottingham? Or, would you rather shell your hard-earned savings on a pink handbag? That is exactly what retailer Vestiaire Collective is hoping for, as they put a Hermes bag on sale for a cool £140,000 on their site. Is this Britain's most expensive handbag? A sade-to-measure pink croc Hermes Birkin bag embellished with rubies has gone on sale for £140,000 . So what do you get for your money? The made-to-measure pink croc Hermes Birkin bag comes embellished with rubies. The rare tote is so exclusive that it can't even be brought in store and experts say it's an extremely good investment. Fanny Moizant, Vestiaire Collective's Brand Communications Director and Head of UK, said: 'Hermes Birkin bags have come to symbolise the epitome of quality, the materials and the impeccable French craftsmanship are second to none. 'The brand has a strong heritage with a controlled supply, which makes it highly desirable for stylish women. This aspirational identity has developed into a strong social status symbol. The limited supply and production of rare colours and skin have made these bags must-have collectors items resulting in an increased value over time, unlike cars, which are known to depreciate in value after leaving the showroom.' With the same amount of money that the handbag costs, you could splash out on an Aston Martin DB9 Volante . Whilst they don't own the exact same bag, Kim Kardashian, left, and Heidi Klum, right, are both the proud owners of pink Hermes Birkin bags . Hermes is one of the most coveted handbags of all time, but with a price tag of around £8,000 the Hermés Birkin bag isn't quite within every fashionista's price range (unless you're Victoria Beckham whose collection is worth a reported £1.5m).

Renowned for its immaculate finish and top quality materials, Hermès claims never to use any assembly lines with one craftsperson making a single handbag at a time, hand-stitching individual pieces to create the finished product. The brand is rich in history, and some of its bestselling bags have intriguing stories behind them. The iconic Kelly bag, one of Hermes most popular styles, was originally known as the Sac à dépêches when it was developed by Hermes in 1935. In 1956, a photo of Grace Kelly, who had become the new Princess of Monaco, was pictured carrying the Sac à dépêches to hide her pregnancy. Photographs were sent all over the world and put on the cover of Life magazine. As a result, the bag became known as the Kelly and has been hugely popular ever since. Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian are big fans of Hermes ... handbag Victoria reportedly owns a collection worth £1.5m . The Birkin has similarly romantic roots, conceived as it was in honour of French star Jane Birkin. The Birkin was

Forget helicopters and BMWs, could the ultimate symbol of wealth be clothes made from gold? On a catwalk show which took place in Xi'an, the capital city of north-western China's Shaanxi province, models strutted their stuff in items made from the precious metal. Including underwear and a chain-mail style shirt which it has been revealed would be worth around £40,000. And this was no lightweight affair either. On a catwalk in Xi'an in China models strutted their stuff in gold underwear, it is thought the look is influenced by royal women in history . The shirt alone worn by the male model weighed in at 7lbs and the matching bra and underwear for the female model also came in at 7lbs. The idea for real gold clothing takes its inspiration from royal women in history, including Cleopatra, Marie Antoinette and Tsarina Alexandra who all reportedly had gold clothing. The organisers of the event said that it took 30 craftsmen three months to make the gold shirt and the women's clothing which is also worth around £40,000. Fashion photographer Manchu Peng, 30, who attended event said: 'There were some good designs there but the gold clothing items really stole the show.' It took 30 craftsmen three month to make this shirt which is mean out of real gold and has a chain-mail style . The model showed off his shirt as on-lookers checked out how the design was made . The idea came after a Chinese designer unveiled an extraordinary set of underwear made entirely of gold last year. The items however were produced as a work of art and not intended for sale. They were modelled by an unnamed woman who was joined by two other models - both of whom posed with glittering gold accessories, including necklaces, a shoe and a rabbit at a store in China. These two women proudly showed off their gold underwear, the items are not for sale but are said to be worth around £40,000 . This gold underwear set has an intricate design with the model wearing a pair of white pants underneath it to protect her modesty . And prior to that a Turkish jeweller unveiled a series glamorous gold dresses - each worth a staggering £85,000. Artisan Ahmet Atakan, based in Izmir, a city in Turkey, crafted each frock out of a total of 78,000 pieces of the expensive metal to form a mesh-like fabric. Despite the eye-watering price tag of 300 thousand Turkish Liras (about £84,800), eight of the unique gowns have already been sold.

Summary: Designs made from real gold were shown on the catwalk in Xi'an China . Models strutted their stuff in underwear and a shirt made from gold . The items cost around £40,000 each but are not intended for sale .


Derby County want Burnley manager Sean Dyche to replace Steve McClaren this summer, regardless of which division they are in. Play-off chasing Derby are planning for life without former England boss McClaren, who has been linked to jobs with Newcastle and Sunderland, and will make a concerted effort to get Dyche, who has impressed in the Premier League this season. Burnley host Tottenham on Sunday still fighting for top-flight survival, despite being written off as relegation certainties before the season began. Derby want Sean Dyche to replace Steve McClaren should the former England boss leave this summer . Dyche, 43, has won admirers for his plain speaking and organising a competitive team on a restricted budget. Derby, however, believe he will be tempted by a move to a bigger club — their average home gate of 29,000 is 10,000 more than Burnley get at Turf Moor. Derby occupy the final play-off place in the Championship, although Friday’s 2-2 draw against Watford was their seventh game in a row without a win. Derby boss McClaren has been linked with a move to Newcastle at the end of the season . It is almost certain, however, that McClaren and the club will part ways at the end of the season, whether they win promotion or not. McClaren was heavily backed to replace Alan Pardew at Newcastle earlier this season and insiders at Derby were unhappy at the way the story was highlighted in the public domain. Derby have been impressed with Dyche's work in the Premier League with Burnley this season . Since then, Derby’s form has gone off the boil and McClaren admitted after their last game that they could no longer go up automatically. The club were beaten 1-0 by QPR in last season’s Championship play-off final at Wembley.

Summary: Steve McClaren has been linked with a number of jobs including Newcastle . Derby are chasing a play-off place and are sixth in the Championship . The rams have been impressed with Sean Dyche in the Premier League . Derby want the Burnley boss to replace McClaren if he leaves this summer .
