Cole facing whopping fine and other red-hot gossip

Ashley Cole is facing a £400,000 fine from Chelsea after recent headlines heaped further embarrassment on the club. The married England defender is alleged to have taken two women back to the team hotel on the club’s pre-season tour of the USA which is against club rules. And coming on the back of John Terry’s recent infidelity, the club are moving to insure their sleazy reputation is done away with. Elsewhere, AC Milan manager Leonardo has offered to quit following the club's defeat by Manchester United in the Champions League last week; Wayne Rooney's young brother John has landed a week-long trial at Championship team Derby County; and the revitalised form of Nani will see Manchester United offer him a new improved contract only months after it looked as though his future lay away from Old Trafford.
