I want to apologise unreservedly to Raheem and hope he can be a better man than I am by accepting it.I offer him an unreserved apology. Even if it wasnt racist, its not right what I said. “Even the swearing is bad but I got carried away.I was completely out of order, but Ive lost my job and my season ticket now so everybodys got what they wanted. So why cant they leave me alone?Mr Wing, who didn’t reveal what he did for work, said he’d been spoken to by police twice on Saturday, but has not been charged with any crime. Sterling, meanwhile, has also been interviewed by officers.Pep Guardiola, the 24-year-old’s manager at Manchester City, said he appreciates what Chelsea have done in reference to the suspension of supporters. “If it happened in my club we should do the same,” he said.Chelsea fan Dean, circled, used to talkSPORT to send his apology to Sterling2

Another Chelsea fan, Dean, who also shouted abuse at Stamford Bridge used talkSPORT to apologise to Sterling.I didnt say anything racist, but I do admit swearing at him and calling him an embarrassment to England.I dont defend it. It was a passionate game and we needed to win, but that really is no defence.I apologise for anything I said that was offensive. On behalf the other fans it just abhors me and Im just really sorry.That language shouldnt have come out, even what I said shouldnt have come out.Sterling only smiled at the time,butlater responded on social media, saying on Instagram he expected no better at Stamford Bridge.His team-mate, Leroy Sane, believes the England international has dealt with the matter well.He said: “I think it’s sad this happens still. We all support Raheem and are on his side.“He is a strong guy, a good guy. He can handle it and he is not letting it get him down.”

There is NO truth to the idea that Pochettino didn't have money to spend in the summer, so much as he didn't want to spend it just to spend it.
