De Bruyne to Liverpool then. Can't see Pep staying either.
Must be tough to be a Plastic City fan, they haven't really got anything to play for the rest of the season, apart from making sure they stay in the top four, and qualify for the Champions League next season
The really interesting bit is what the English authorities do.
This is in many ways similar to Saracens-except there may well be in excess of £100 million involved, and they have previous offences to be taken into account. And (unlike other similar matters) they refuse to admit that they have done anything wrong. Again.
Long on claiming the info was illegally obtained. Long on legal rhetoric. Short on providing financial evidence in support. Doesn't mean they won't get away with it, or get a lighter penalty.
Compare/contrast with the sanction applied to Bury.
As usual, money and influence will prevail.
Former England captain Dave Watson has a neurodegenerative disease that was 'most likely' brought on by head injuries and repeated heading of the ball during his playing days, his wife has revealed.
Penny Watson says the 73-year-old's consultant believes he has 'in all probability chronic traumatic encephalopathy' — the same disease which caused former West Brom striker Jeff Astle's death in 2002.
'His consultant has concluded that the condition Dave is now living with is in all probability Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) - most likely caused by Dave's many head injuries, including severe concussions, and repeated heading of the ball.
'Dave has good days and bad days. He endeavours to continue to live and enjoy a normal life, as best as possible, however almost every day we are confronted with a new challenge.
'If you come across him at a match or elsewhere, please don't be afraid to interact with him. Understand that he may not be able to converse in the way he once did, but he still loves to talk about football and share a laugh.
'The last thing Dave wants is to be treated with pity. He has always been a fighter, as those of you who watched him play know but this is one battle Dave cannot win.
'Even though things have not ended up as we both planned, Dave does not regret pursuing his passion, doing what he loved - playing football.'
