00:00 There's a story that after the game against Brighton last May, you said that
00:05 Deserby could be the next Man City manager. Is that true and do you think,
00:09 would you like him to take your job whenever it is you end up leaving?
00:13 Do you want to sack me? Already? In two years time. In two years time? Okay.
00:22 I don't remember that. Maybe I have bad memory, but I'm pretty sure Roberto can train
00:26 any team around the world. So I don't have any doubt. But I don't remember
00:32 saying that to the players, to the managers. I remember what I said for the
00:35 first game he arrived here, he was appointed Roberto one or two games.
00:40 And I know we talked with some players of them and about, yeah, sustain this manager.
00:49 But I don't remember honestly saying that and what I can say, he can train
00:57 Brighton and all the teams around the world. And when you do end up leaving,
01:02 would you like to have a say in who is your successor? No, no. No say so.
01:07 It's not my business. Except my chairman asked me my opinion, I give my opinion,
01:11 but it's not my business. Because I'm not a sport director.
01:14 I'm not a responsibility to say something. Nothing is going well or wrong.
01:18 So especially wrong. So it's not my... I have friends here behind me,
01:23 ask me a question, I can say the question. I would like to say,
01:26 okay, if we put 10, I don't know how many years with this, you know,
01:31 for this idea, the way you play for the academy and all that,
01:33 we say continue with this idea. So never mind, it has real details,
01:37 but the terms of the type of players we wanted or the way we want to plant it,
01:40 I would say, you know, keep going with that.
