Pearce doesn't expect Distin departure

Stuart Pearce does not believe skipper Sylvain Distin needs any convincing to commit his future to Manchester City.

After Shaun Wright-Phillips’ high-profile departure last summer, the impending loss of up to eight players once the current campaign reaches its conclusion and delicate discussions with Joey Barton still to resume, the last thing Pearce needs right now is to see his captain leave as well.
