#StockportCounty boss Dave Challinor asked by BBC about Pep Guardiola:
"He's embroiled himself in the culture and influenced every manager in England."
"When Man City played Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, he phoned me for advice. I thought it was a wind-up! He'll be a huge miss."
County boss Dave Challinor (in suit and tie today) is wearing a JE3 Foundation badge, in memory of late former Leyton Orient boss Justin Edinburgh.
Those two did battle a few times over the years.

Ben Hinchliffe on #400: "It was disappointing to not get the clean sheet. We just lost our way a bit late on with the changes."
"I found out yesterday I'd be playing - it's been a great night, a great reception."
"Ollie Norwood is a class act and wanted me to be captain. I said for him to carry on and do his thing leading the team, but a big thanks to Ollie."
"The injury last season was a big one, a four hour surgery. I've been lucky over my career not to have a serious injury, but I look after myself and feel like nights like tonight make it worth it."
"I always highlight Nuneaton away in 2019 as a real moment - that was the first step, getting the club on our way back to where we belong."
"Corey (Addai) has been fantastic in the first two games, and that's credit to him and the goalkeeping team because we work hard together. I'll help Corey as much as I can, and I still see myself as a number one here and want to be that for years to come."
"I'll put it out there now but a testimonial for next summer is in the works - the fans have been great with me and I hope to thank them next summer." #StockportCounty
Just had that sinking feeling after County missed those glorious chances, and so it's proven to be.
Doesn't take away from an incredible season back in League One, and #StockportCounty are well and truly on the up, but feels like a sickener tonight given how it all unfolded.
SHOCKING OFFICIATING 🤯❌
For an EFL official to get that wrong is disgraceful. It looked obvious watching it at the time!
One of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a long time.
