In other very important news, as predicted in yesterday's super soaraway edition of our tea-timely newsletter The Fiver, the FA have moved to avert a potential flashpoint before Sunday's lunchtime kick-off between QPR and Chelsea by "suspending" the pointless but ritualistic pre-match handshake between the two teams.

If Guardiola does vacate the managerial hotseat at Camp Nou, Athletic Bilbao's eccentric manager Marcelo Bielsa, the former Argentina and Chile boss who's masterminded Athletic Bilbao's massively entertaining romp to the Europa League final this season, is being tipped as his successor in some quarters.
