22 I SPORTS NEWS The Guardian Tuesday December 10 1996 Soccer Hauge conducts Halle's move to Leeds flBEBBBBBBBBBELBBBBBSi a. Jk Ian Ross ham's predecessor at Leeds, had also made moves to sign Halle back in September shortly before he was dismissed. Halle has won 52 caps for Norway and can play at full-back or in midfield. Scales was preparing for his first training session with Tottenham today and may make his debut at Leeds on Saturday if he recovers from a niggling groin injury. The 2.7 million defender said: "It could be a tricky weekend but I am prepared for that." Emerson, Middlesbrough's wandering star, flew back to Britain from Rio de Janeiro yesterday and, after training, will have talks today with the manager Bryan Robson and tomorrow with the chairman Steve Gibson.

The Brazilian, who has returned late to the club three times in the past month, was to have flown into Teesside airport with his wife Andrea but they were diverted to Newcastle by fog. He declined to comment as he boarded a bus to his Teesside home. his move the International Association of Football Agents will ask the world governing body Fifa to study the transfer. Halle joined Oldham from Lillestrom for a nominal fee five years ago in a deal arranged by Hauge. Hauge is currently barred from arranging any transfer deals after his licence was revoked in the wake of Fifa's examination of his business activities.

Mattiesen, though, is an officially licensed and registered agent, having lodged the required 100,000 bond with Fifa this year. Graham made his surprise move for Halle yesterday morning, only 12 hours after learning that Liverpool's centre-back John Scales had decided to join Tottenham Hotspur and not Leeds. The manager said yesterday: "I'm pleased to have captured my first signing, particularly one so experienced. I've been keen on him for some time. He'll be a very useful addition to our squad." Howard Wilkinson, Gra GEORGE GRAHAM'S decision to make the Oldham Athletic defender Gunnar Halle his first signing at Leeds United may reopen old wounds.

The 31-year-old Norwegian is expected to complete his 400,000 move today in a deal brokered by a Danish agent, Frank Mattiesen, a friend and long-time associate of the middleman Rune Hauge. It was Graham's dealings with Hauge which led to the manager's dismissal by Arsenal and his 12-month ban. He had accepted personal payments after buying Hauge-represented players for the Highbury club. Many licensed agents operating within the European transfer market are known to hold reservations about the nature of Mattiesen's current business relationship with Hauge. Indeed, it is probable that when Halle has completed Premier League lands 36m Enter Botham, exit Batman retired miracle-worker holds forth before seeking further wonders on England's behalf photograph: sean dempsey Botham the motivator flies out THE Premier League yesterday announced a four-year 36 million sponsorship deal with the brewer Bass, an extension of the present agreement which expires next summer.

It represents a 200-per-cent increase on the current four-year deal, which was for 12 million. The competition will still be known as the FA Catling Premiership. "We were in discussion with several other companies and there could have been even more money on the table," said Rick Parry, the Premier League's chief executive. "But the clubs wanted continuity. It has been an excellent partnership and the clubs were unanimous in voting for its extension." Jonathan Nye, the head of Paul Weaver hears the new technical adviser talk about his role in Zimbabwe Two-point penalty puts Brighton being the life and soul of the party, I've no gripes about that.

But giving me that ticking off for running so much in the mornings that I was too tired to socialise in the evenings, well, it was laughable. "A serious point thrown up by that incident, however, is that, as captain, Ian's lifestyle did not sit easily with setting an example to his players." Last night Botham was typically blunt on the issue. "I don't think we really need a chairman of selectors. David Lloyd and the captain have that job. At the end of the day it is the captain who has his head on the block." It could be an epic contest between the hell-raiser Botham and dawn-riser Gooch.

The only problem then for a confused young England cricketer will be to get back to the hotel before Gooch starts plodding the streets. pare for next week's first Test against Zimbabwe. If Botham's cricket was the stuff of fiction, his off-field activities belonged to the horror genre. His involvement could turn things into something of a circus. He also has a point to prove; in 11 Tests as England captain he failed to win.

If his role takes off, next season may be interesting particularly if Graham Gooch is appointed chairman of the selectors in March. The pair do not exactly see eye to eye in the matter of match preparation. In his autobiography Gooch said: "Ian Botham's motto was 'Never come back the same day you go out'." And, later, Gooch recalls the time Botham, as England captain, attempted to put an end to Gooch's dawn runs. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about Ian having a few drinks and it's never been my style to criticise players on television.

After all, no player gets out deliberately." He is not particularly worried by the early results. "The same thing happened in our warm-up matches when we went to Australia 10 years ago, and it turned out to be one of the most successful tours in history. It takes time to bed down and adjust. The pitches out there are more spongy and springy than the lads will be used to. And slip catching can also be a problem.

"I'll have a chat with Athers when I get there. It could be that one or two players are a bit low and need picking up. I might take them fishing on a day off, or even fit in 'a bit of golf." No change there, then. He will be taking a few days off on arrival but will join up with the team in time to pre mos." Predictably there was a side-swipe at Ray Ulingworth, the chairman of selectors, now retired, who blocked his chance of becoming involved a year ago. "For the first time David Lloyd and Mike Ather-ton can work properly together.

That was not the situation when we had a very hands-on chairman. "Really, not a lot has changed; I have had a chat with one or two lads in the past and it's worked out well. Principally I'm going out there with Sky Television." But hadn't Geoff Boycott, famously, had a problem coaching players and then tearing into them in print and on TV? "I don't think that will apply in my case because IT TOOK place, appropriately, in the Winston Churchill Suite and in English cricket's darkest hour, between the humiliation by Mashonaland and today's perils posed by Matabeleland. Ian Botham, England's new bowling coach, addressed the nation last night before jetting off to Zimbabwe to try to save a nation's honour. He took a 9.00pm flight from Gat-wick but one sensed a grey suit and black cape would have done the job just as well.

This was Batman from Botham City, as Peter Tinnis-wood would have it. Results had been bad, he conceded.

But a promising England reply, bolstered by a third-wicket stand of 92 between David Sales (45) and the captain Andrew Flintoff (52), slipped from 192 for four to 230 all out, a first-innings deficit of 26, despite a bold 47 off 51 balls by Ben Hollioake.

"That has to remain confidential between ourselves and the Premier League," he said. It was also announced that a committee has been set up to find a successor for Parry, who brokered the recent 800 million BSkyB television deal but joins Liverpool as executive director next summer. The committee will consist of the Premier League's nonexecutive chairman Sir John Quinton, Tottenham's chairman Alan Sugar, West Ham's Terry Brown, Everton's Philip Carter, Newcastle's Freddie Fletcher and a yet-to-be-named club chairman. "We want to appoint some three-point fine and a one-match ground closure hanging over them after protests at the sale of the Goldstone Ground last Apiil.

It is not ideal timing for European clubs because they join the Silk Cut Challenge Cup the following weekend. But it was agreed last week that no club would be expected to supply more than one player to the British team.

Wigan, meanwhile, say they will do everything they can to keep Jason Robinson, their Great Britain winger who is guesting for Bath, when his contract expires in six months. Bath are reported to be willing to pay 300,000 to buy out Robinson's contract. The complication is that the player, due to rejoin Wigan on January 11, has signed a contract with the Australian Rugby League. Jack Robinson, Wigan's chairman, says his club are working on a "substantial" financial package to keep the 22-year-old. AND 45P PER MIN AT ALL OTHER TIMES.

"There have already been one or two quiet and informal applications but this process is only just starting." Parry, whose intention to leave the post was announced last week, was yesterday told by the club chairmen that he could work out the full six months of his notice. "I am delighted it is going to be a seamless transition," said Parry. "I have been involved in the Premier League from the start and want to see it go from strength to strength."

Several talented players have emerged from the French first division club, including the Highbury midfielder Patrick Vieira. Northern Ireland are to play Belgium in a friendly at Windsor Park on February 11. Ice Hockey Yewchuk sets Cardiff on way back to top Vic Batchelder TWO goals from Marty Yewchuk ensured the Cardiff Devils returned to the top of the Superleague as they beat the Sheffield Steelers 4-3 and put the visitors into second place. Yewchuk, who last month forced the league to back down by threatening legal action when he was banned until the end of the year for a violent incident earlier in the season, opened the scoring after two minutes of Sunday's game. And although goals from Scott Neil and Ron Shudira put the Steelers 2-1 up by the 30th minute, Yewchuk levelled four minutes later.

In the third period Stefan Ziesche and Doug McCarthy gave Cardiff a two-goal cushion, and they needed it when Tommy Plommer scored a hotly disputed third for the visitors five minutes from time. The argument centred on whether the puck crossed the goal-line, and several Cardiff players remonstrated with the goal-judge positioned behind the plexiglass barrier. Saturday's. Benson and Hedges Cup finalists, the Nottingham Panthers and Ayr Scottish Eagles, had mixed fortunes on returning to Super-league action. The Panthers paraded the trophy before easily beating Basingstoke 6-1, Marty Dall-man scoring twice.

But the game was watched by the lowest crowd at a Nottingham league game for years; barely 2,100 of the 3,000 seats were occupied, said an Ice Stadium spokesman, although the club claimed 2,633 were present. Ayr were 5-2 down after 33 minutes of their game with lowly Bracknell. Eleven minutes later, however, Mark Woolf, Vince Boe, with his second of the match, and Scott Young had tied it at 5-5. Jamie Steer then netted for Ayr at 52.06 but Wayde Buc-sls's second equalised for the visitors and sent the game into a scoreless overtime. Paul FHzpatrick ANDY GREGORY'S stock, already high, rose again yesterday when he was appointed coach to the Great Britain side for the Super League World Nines tournament at Townsville, Australia next month.

The 35-year-old former Wigan and Great Britain scrum-half has achieved impressive results as Salford Reds' coach after taking over from the Australian Garry Jack in March 1995. He took Salford to the Centenary season title and then steered them into the Super League when they again won the First Division title in August. Gregory will be one of only four English head coaches in Super League next season the others are Andy Goodway (Oldham), John Joyner (Castleford) and Phil Larder (Sheffield) and this appointment may represent a first step on his way to the full Great Britain job. dox left-arm wrist spinner finished with six for 55, the best figures of his five-Test career, as India went from 204 for six overnight to 237 all out.
