Brisbane will sack troubled footballer Brendan Fevola within the next few days. The Lions could make the official call as early as Monday, having held high-level talks yesterday at AFL headquarters. The AFL yesterday confirmed it would use its discretion to relieve the club's salary-cap woes by spreading Fevola's seven figure payout over two years, as it did with St Kilda last season when Andrew Lovett was sacked. With significant six-figure gambling debts, Fevola, is expected to return to Melbourne in a bid to rebuild his life.Caroline Wilson
