At the second international break of the season, attention is likely to turn to Pep Guardiola's expiring contract at Manchester City
Manchester City secured a major victory over the Premier League in proving that the league's Associated Party Transaction rules were unlawful this week.
There is the prospect of City claiming damages from the Premier League, and clubs will wait to see what form the APT regulations will take after they were found to be against UK competition law. But Guardiola did declare himself as 'part of the club' when asked last week if he felt a need to defend City in public as they battle the Premier League in the courtroom and seek to clear their name in public. He has been talking about City's schedule next season as if it affects him personally .
"I trust the owners, especially the chairman for the relationship, and CEO's and everyone working here for many years. I know them well, more than any of you. For the people around, but the best way to defend is do our job the best. Everyone working here has their responsibility. My responsibility is to hold my players hands and together win games.
