00:00They would not have been aware that there was effectively cheating going on or sports doping, whatever you want to
00:06call it.
00:06I'm not sure many of the managers did either.
00:09You know, when you talk about Roberto Mancini, you go, well, it wasn't my fault.
00:12It was nothing to do with me.
00:13Pep Guardiola has come out and been slightly, well, he's been a lot more backing of the club.
00:18And he's got behind the club still at this point.
00:21Obviously, there's an appeal process that we expect that will happen in the near future.
00:27But it's hard as a player.
00:28You know, I've seen some pundits say, oh, they'll all be wanting to give their medals back.
00:32No, they won't.
00:33If they give their medals back, are they going to give back their bonuses, their contracts, their investments?
00:40No, it's not going to happen.
00:42So it's the problem that you've now got is because it's so far on from when it happened,
00:47it's going to be, it's so, so difficult to punish those that were there at the time.
00:56You know, retrospective punishment is very, very difficult.
00:59You can only really punish now and going forward.
01:02And of course, that's a lot of the players that are at the football club that had nothing to do
01:06with this at all.
