Football and with the final weekend of Premiership ties expected to be played this Sunday – Manchester City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak has come out in support of under-fire manager Roberto Mancini.
Mubarak has claimed that Mancini will not be sacked and, instead, will be given ''all the tools he needs'' to make the club a success next season.
And in the red-half of Manchester – the Glazer family have put out an unofficial notice to the Red Knights group that Manchester United is not for sale.
This even at £1.5 billion pounds - as first reported.

In another tie – it was also 1-all between Woodlands Wellington and the Young Lions.

In Formula One - Mark Webber is eager to leave nothing on the table this weekend as he finally looks to kick start his bid for Formula One glory.
Other than one pole position in Malaysia, where he finished second to Red Bull Racing team-mate Sebastian Vettel, Webber has struggled to make his mark this season.
The F1 heads to Spain this weekend at the Catalunya Circuit with McLaren’s Jenson Button leading the pack in the Driver’s Standings.
