Episode notes

John Cross of The Mirror and The Sun’s Jack Rosser react to the leading stories in Saturday’s back pages which include Pep Guardiola’s comments saying that he wants the 115 FFP charges against Manchester City to be concluded as soon as possible and that they will accept any decision that is made. Staying with City, Ilkay Gundogan returned to the champions after he was released by Barcelona, and Cross believes this could be the signing of the summer. Romelu Lukaku’s move to Napoli from Chelsea gathered pace on Friday evening and Enzo Maresca has hinted that the club will continue to invest despite already spending 1.2 billion pounds under the Todd Boehly ownership, and both Cross and Rosser question how sustainable this approach is.
