00:00I suspect in his own mind, he's probably 99% certain as to what he's going to do
00:06next summer. He's a very intense individual. I don't think it would have an impact. I think
00:18to a certain extent, if Manchester City lose the case and they're subject to 100 points deduction,
00:25part of him would fancy Swansea on a Tuesday night, just to prove. Because one of the criticisms of
00:36Pep Guardiola, which I think he's completely lacking in validity, is that he's only managed
00:42to be successful because he's had clubs with big budgets in big divisions. The director of
00:49football is leaving. That's more likely to have an impact than anything else. Because I think
00:56Pep's the type of guy for whom relationships are a very important thing. I think the one thing that
01:04could happen is that he has said that every time he's spoken to the club in relation to these
01:11charges, they've said they're completely innocent. If they've been proven to have lied to him,
01:17he'll be off. Because I think on a principal point of view, where's the incentive to stay?
