00:00Just on Mo, in terms of the decision-making process for him not going to Milan

00:04and then whether he's part of the squad tomorrow, is that solely your call?

00:08Or is that above you with Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards?

00:12If he's in the squad, yes or no?

00:14And the decision not to take him to Milan and this weekend as well?

00:19I think we've decided as a club and I was part of that decision not to take him

00:23towards the Inter Milan game.

00:26I'm always in contact with them, but when it comes to the decision-making of the line-up

00:33or the squad, they always leave that open to me.

00:36But that's not to say that I don't talk to them, mainly Richard by the way, not Michael,

00:42but I talk to him about so many things.

00:46But the decision to play a player or to have him in the squad,

00:50as I've experienced it till now, and I think this will never change,

00:54is entirely up to me.

00:57Do you want Mo to stay here?

00:59Sorry?

01:00Do you want Mo to stay here?

01:01Like I said, another way of asking it,

01:04but the next time I talk about Mo, he should be with him.

01:10And I have no reasons not wanting him to stay here,

01:13if that is a little bit of an answer to your question.

01:17Do you still have a relationship with him?

01:20I know you said a lot, but is it fair to stay here?

01:24Vinny, they have better questions than you.

01:26No, I wouldn't say better, but they tried in multiple ways.

01:31It's useless of asking this question,

01:33if I've said so many times the same answer.

01:36Given the fact you've beaten him before,

01:38do you feel there's some sort of justification for your decision?

01:40This club has won a lot, a lot, a lot of games with him,

01:48so that's the answer to your question, I think.
