And...

Dion's correct it was a bit annoying that it was all done so easily on that final day when you're building up you know it came to a point where as I said I was at Brighton and there waiting for a result from Anfield and the excitement of making the conference league but that's about where the intrigue

Well, a huge hole, quite obviously.

Speaking to a couple, I actually have quite a lot of friends who are City fans and the talk of tears being shed and the emotions that they've all felt and having to say goodbye to Bernardo Silva, John Stones, as well as Pep Guardiola.

That's a big hole in the team that's dominated English football.

It is a lot.

Yeah, absolutely.

Bernardo is a player that I really do have an ultimate respect for.

I think he's absolutely fantastic.

Not underrated because everyone knows how good he is, but when you see how often he's there when City have been at their very best, and Stones will be the same until this season.

He's going to the World Cup.

But we're told Pep Guardiola saw no place for him in the team, which may ask questions of Thomas Tuchel, but that's one for a head.

Pep leaving, we move into a new phase of English football, don't we?

He's dominated the last decade, there's no doubt about that.

And City have got a big job on to not become also-rans, to become a post-Ferguson United, a post-Wenger Arsenal.

They see Enzo Maresca as the man, clearly.

We await that announcement.

It might have been made by the time this goes out.

That, to me, that appointment feels a bit David Moyes.

You know, he sort of is from the same background.
