Met him in Dubai , top top man

He is very forthright and always very convincing. But what strikes me most is his determination. Even if we were found guilty, that would not be the end of anything. They would fight to the end against the charges and to become the very best again.

This case was always going to take time but it is now becoming very curious why we have no verdict.

Khaldoon: "There's no intention to sell. There's only intention to keep growing because the view is this will only grow and this is a beautiful business to own. It's football and entertainment.

"In the world we're in today, while the world changes and people's attention goes to different things, sport stays. And football within sports is the pinnacle. And Manchester City and this Group within football is a pinnacle. These jewels, you don't sell..."

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak on 'the charges'...

"Let me be as consistent as I've always been – until we have a ruling, I can't say much.

"Once we have a ruling, believe me, Chris, we're going to have a wonderful sit down together and I'll say everything I've wanted to say for the last three years."

No idea where the PL charge thread is so posting here. Interesting...

Can't be long now. It's right to have a period of silence now Pep has gone but time to start getting the players and fans ready for the new manager.

Sounds like Enzo is quite authoritarian in his approach which can either divide or unite. We will see. He likes to play good football though.

An announcement very soon according to the Chairman and an intriguing insight into Pep trying to quit 100 times. Pep is more like me than I thought - I feel like quitting every day at work.

I say move Rodri on and others. Let the new manager build his team, let it be his team not one that was mostly Peps' team.

No spectacular rush is there. Most of the best players will be at the World Cup so not many signings will be made for a while. Rodri is already teasing us for the end of the World Cup though.

This void is rubbing on a bit longer than I would have expected.
