Getty WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID
He told TNT Sports: "I'm really pleased to sit here after a bad season. If I didn't have my chairman and sporting director like I have, I would have been sacked, definitely. Because the results were really, really poor. It's a new season, we've had six or seven signings between the transfer window in December and now. Football is this: win or lose, what's the next chapter? The next chapter is this season and nobody knows what's going to happen. We have, I think, the desire to do well."
