SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager

"It was also important for Frank (Lampard) because I think he deserves the farewell that all the people and all our fans gave him at the stadium. Very important for him to score. So I think it was the perfect goodbye for him. Because as a player, he deserves for his brilliant career and a great person."

SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager

"Same as last year, after they finish the America Cup (Copa America) then we have the rest that he needs to have a good season. I think it was very important for Kun (Sergio Aguero) this year was also when he came back from the World Cup after we gave him 30 days he didn't start for the first three games because I think it was important for him to make a good pre-season. So we will see what way is the best for him to prepare for the next season."

SOUNDBITE (English) Ronald Koeman, Sunderland manager

"I think we know that what we did this season was the maximum. Because that quality you saw that today as well in some actions that real top quality we have to improve to do it better than we did it this season. It will be difficult to do it next season because the expectation will be higher than it was in the beginning of this season. But we can be proud of this season of Southampton."

"Well, James (Milner) said that he will take a decision at the end of the season. It just depends on what he wants to do with his future. I think that we must respect that also. He is a very important player. He gave us a lot of spirit throughout the whole year. But in the same way he must decide his future - what he thinks is best for him."
