A round-up of today's other Soccer stories in brief...
Spurs scotch rumours of Hughes link
TOTTENHAM have rejected claims that they have offered Manchester City manager Mark Hughes the manager's job at White Hart Lane. Spurs manager Juande Ramos has been under pressure after his side made a poor start to the season.
They languish at the bottom of the Premier League and media reports claim that Spurs had contacted Hughes's advisors to offer the former Manchester United striker Ramos' job.
Tottenham, however, released a statement on the club's official website denying they had approached Hughes.
The statement read: "The club largely refrains from making statements of this nature unless absolutely necessary in order to set the record straight in light of wholly inaccurate reporting.
"This story is completely untrue and without foundation and the matter is being discussed with the publication."
Uefa taking firm line with Poland
UEFA yesterday warned Poland that it risked being stripped of the right to co-host Euro 2012 if it failed to reinstate its football association by Monday.
"Our patience has limits and we are very close to the limit," William Gaillard, special advisor to Uefa president Michel Platini, said. "We are standing firm with Fifa. If the FA is not reinstated by Monday's deadline then we will have serious discussions about the future of Euro 2012 immediately."
The Polish FA (PZPN) has been preparing to host Uefa's 2012 European Championship finals with neighbours Ukraine.
Poland's arbitration tribunal suspended the PZPN board and named an administrator on Monday after Sports Minister Miroslaw Drzewiecki filed a motion saying it had violated the law.
World body Fifa, whose statutes forbid government intervention in football affairs, said on Wednesday Poland must reinstate the PZNP by 10.00 GMT on October 6th or risk being suspended from this month's two World Cup qualifying matches.
FA to investigate Campbell abuse
PORTSMOUTH have confirmed they will make an official complaint to the English Football Association over the abuse Sol Campbell received during last Sunday's match against former club Tottenham.
The club's captain was subjected to abuse from the terraces during his team's 2-0 Premier League victory at Fratton Park.
The south coast club confirmed on their official website: "After discussions with Sol Campbell, we will be making an official complaint to the Football Association concerning the verbal abuse aimed at him during Sunday's match against Tottenham."
Campbell (34) is a hate figure for Spurs fans after he moved to their bitter north London rivals Arsenal in 2001.
Portsmouth's statement yesterday continued: "Both Sol and the club feel no player should be subjected to personal abuse of this nature and that it has no place in football."
Scholes and Fletcher given extra time at Old Trafford
MANCHESTER United have received a double dose of good news yesterday with midfielders Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher agreeing new contracts. Scholes has signed a one-year deal, while Fletcher has committed himself to Old Trafford for a further three seasons.
United manager Alex Ferguson has no doubt Scholes will continue to be a massive influence with the Premier League and European champions United. Scholes suffered a major blow on Tuesday when he suffered knee ligament damage against Aalborg which will rule him out until mid-December.
He is 34 next month, and his contract had been due to expire in the summer, but Ferguson has no worries for Scholes.
"I am very confident Paul will be back," said the United manager. "He can play for at least another year. I have no fears about that.
"He has the same characteristics as Gary Neville, who has just come back after 18 months out.
"They look after themselves and you have to admire that perseverance and determination."
Moyes to commit to Everton future
DAVID Moyes is expected to commit to a new five-year contract at Everton this weekend having denied the club are in freefall.
"There is nothing rotten here," he insisted yesterday, following a dismal spell that has seen his side exit the League Cup and Uefa Cup.
Moyes's lawyers spent yesterday working through the final details of a package that will double his salary to €77,000-a-week and extend his six-year reign until 2013.
