Football dominates the back pages again after making way for the Commonwealth Games.

The Daily Mirror says Chelsea are driving Eidur Gudjohnsen into Manchester United's hands.

The Icelandic striker has apparently angered bosses of the cash-strapped club with his pay demands and they are ready to offload the �10m-rated forward.

With Sir Alex Ferguson admitting he needs another striker, Gudjohnsen is apparently top of his hit list.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal are scrapping their match-by-match bonus scheme.

The paper reckons the Gunners are reacting to the desperate state of football's finances by cutting the players' bonus schemes, meaning they will not be rewarded for Premiership wins.

Thierry Henry and co will only get bonuses for European victories or winning the FA Cup, Worthington Cup or finishing in the top two of the Premiership.

The Sun leads with Terry Venables' problems at Leeds, with "Hell Tell" admitting he was disappointed by Rio Ferdinand's decision to jump ship.

With Robbie Fowler ruled out for 11 games and Venables struggling to strengthen his squad, the paper says the Leeds boss has endured a "nightmare start" to his reign at Elland Road.

The High Court ruling that the Football League will not be able to recover the �178.5m it is owed from the collapse of ITV Digital is also heavily covered.

The Guardian says leading First Division clubs will demand to take over the running of the Football League or break away altogether.

Millwall's chairman Theo Paphitis also finds his way into the headlines by claiming Football League chief David Burns "couldn't run a kebab shop".

Real cheats

There is some good news for the Nationwide, with Fifa agreeing to keep the transfer market open for two years on a trial basis, according to The Independent.

The Commonwealth Games are not completely forgotten, with Kim Collins' escape after testing positive for a banned steroid dominating The Daily Telegraph's coverage.

The paper argues that "lenience leaves door ajar for real cheats" and says that Games officials have gone back on their zero tolerance stance.

The Daily Mail also says Manchester has shown that London is not the answer to Britain's hopes of hosting the Olympics, arguing that "the togetherness of these Games would never be found in the capital".

The Daily Express says that England's Mark Butcher is willing to put his body on the line in order to play in the second Test against India next week.

The Surrey batsman admits he "can't run properly" but is willing to fight through the pain to help out his country.
