Unless you've got a few grand burning a hole in your pocket, I don't think you're going to be able to get anything fast enough for sports in that kind of focal length.

That 600mm f4 nikon lens in berminghams is about €3000, right? Did you take some shots with it, how did they look?

Try renting one for a day or weekend. Shoot as much as you want and see how you get on.

Conns do a rental service. Considering the asking price for purchase - well worth it !!
