FA chairman Greg Dyke will continue on the attack over his homegrown players campaign by taking the controversial issue to the FA council next week . Dyke will be giving the presentation to councillors that he was unable to make at last week ’ s Premier League meeting . He is looking for big support from the chamber in his battle with the PL to increase homegrown numbers from eight to 12 players in top-flight squads . Dyke has also been in combative mood with two other opponents — Wales and FIFA president Sepp Blatter . Greg Dyke speaks to Premier League chief Richard Scudamore ahead of his FA council meeting . The FA chairman wants to increase the number of homegrown players at top flight clubs from eight to 12 . Speaking at the official Wembley function before the Lithuania game , Dyke described them as a small footballing nation who he hoped would not cause as many problems as another ‘ small footballing nation . . . Wales ’ had been doing . This was a reference to Wales opposing a Team GB football side at the Olympics , David Gill ’ s right to the British vice-presidency on the FIFA executive and the arrogant anti-FA slurs from the FA of Wales ’ s loose cannon president Trefor Lloyd-Hughes . Dyke suggested that Gareth Bale 's Wales were a 'small footballing nation ' causing problems . Blatter also said that Gill ’ s main target in Zurich should be the ‘ little bald chap sitting at the other end of the table ’ . Dyke was also in the mood to attack his own organisation — complaining that the vase the FA always gave their Wembley visitors as a gift was not the best . An FA spokesman said Dyke ’ s speech was meant to be light-hearted and the sensitive FAW did not bite for once . 'Little bald chap ' Sepp Blatter should be David Gill 's first target at FIFA , according to Dyke . lt ’ s hard to see how the FA , who are looking for 15 per cent cuts across the board , can justify the extra expense of booking separate hotels on away trips — one for the England team and key support staff and another for the rest of the FA entourage — especially as they stay in the same accommodation when in England . The twin booking was brought in after the World Cup where manager Roy Hodgson felt the presence of the FA ’ s huge travelling party was a distraction on match days . England boss Roy Hodgson has asked for separate hotels for the team and entourage on away trips . Hodgson has confirmed that Harry Kane will start alongside Wayne Rooney in Tuesday 's friendly with Italy . However , the post-World Cup promise the FA made that England would spent most of their time preparing for matches at £120million St George ’ s Park in the Staffordshire countryside has not materialised . The Grove Hotel outside Watford is still utilised more often because of its proximity to London . RFU silent on Jevans . The RFU ’ s continued refusal to discuss the shock departure of England Rugby 2015 chief executive Debbie Jevans — chairman Andy Cosslett claimed the statement that she resigned for unexplained personal reasons ‘ says it all ’ — will only lead to speculation that does no party any good whatsoever . No jobs were being advertised on the ER 2015 website on Monday , which supports the theory that staff numbers and expenses had been spiralling out of control — as does Jevans ’ s alleged huge use of Addison Lee taxis . But an ER2015 spokeswoman claimed there will be more job opportunities posted this week . England Rugby 2015 chief executive Debbie Jevans has departed for 'unexplained personal reasons ' One of Jevans ’ s first acts on arrival in 2012 was to select the England ball at the World Cup draw when Boris Johnson and his advisers had expected him to do so . And England ending up in the ‘ group of death ’ with Wales and Australia could still come back to haunt everyone concerned . Mark Pougatch , in his new role as ITV ’ s lead football presenter , travelled to Turin on Monday in BA business class alongside pundits Glenn Hoddle , Lee Dixon and Ian Wright . But at least he gave his sometime BBC 5 Live colleagues cramped at the back in economy a wave on arrival in Italy . Barclays opting out of renewing their title sponsorship of the Premier League after next season has given top-flight clubs more flexibility signing their own bank partners . Manchester City are in negotiation with Citibank . Fabian Delph , England ’ s midfield enforcer , has his feet on the ground . He admirably described his mother Donna as a ‘ hero ’ and a ‘ great role model ’ for the way she always tried to do the best for him while bringing him up in difficult circumstances . Fabian Delph described his mother as his 'hero ' before arriving in Turin for Tuesday 's friendly against Italy .
