To me these reports have one goal and one goal only. To derail us and our manager. I honestly have deck faith in British football media.

Was just thinking the same thing. Just in time for the big signings and a big first game. Oh well, maybe it can spur things on too?

Don't think the Pep reports mean very much. I'm sure he'll be joining us next summer but that's a year away and I don't think that the club intend to ignore the upcoming season. We can worry about next summer's business once this upcoming season is out of the way. Makes sense though that the Anyone But Pellegrini brigade who are now coming into their third year of relentlessly talking shit about him have taken the opportunity to get giddy.

I don't see how it is to derail our manager. The Pep rumours have been around for years and we haven't offered Pellegrini a new contract. I think he knows he is just keeping the seat warm for when Pep is available.
 
Of course it is. Pelle may have been given a lucrative back room job promise but much more likely Brenda, Wenger and LVG have got together and asked their mates to stir it up. Maureen simply uses his own tricks, slagging off de Bruyne and accusing us of trying to buy the EPL.

I doubt Pellers will give up the fight for an extension as easily as you believe rumours. As for a new contract, that moment was always gonna be in his final year. Finally it is to be seen how good Pep really is. I for one am not convinced. Yet. Every Cityfan should hope for Pellers to do a Jupp Heynkes. Even you ...

Would be a fitting send off for a man of Pellegrini's class and dignity. Much like Heynkes in fact.

He might have class and dignity but given the materials he's got you can't say he's been that good for City. Under Pellers we were possibly one or two results away fro Europa league!!
 
cant understand these people who slate pellegrini because of his lack of discipline and all this that we could of gone into the Europa League with him. Manuel has been the man who has steadied the ship after the Mancini era and brought the best out of some players, seen some great attacking football and has got us further into the CL twice than we ever have, won us the premier league and the league cup.

Show the guy some respect instead of slating him for god knows what? If/when he leaves I will definitely thank and applaud him for what he has given us. I know not everyone will because of their downright arrogance however.

If he wasn't 't so stubborn I would warm to him more. There was no one celebrating more than me season before last but last season with his 2 in midfield with Ya Ya one of them and continually rotating the defence, daft team selections and giving up on the cups did piss me off a lot. And him and the team taking the likes of Burnley and Hull so lightly also cost us dearly.
If he sets the team up properly this season and doesn't tit about then I for one will be happy.

Can't watch on my phone, what has he said about new signings?

regarding the likes of sterling, delph, unal and roberts he said they're all young, have the capacity to improve and become great with city. Seemed to me like roberts and unal will go on loan or eds as he mentioned that 'we will see' how they get on and decide their future to be able to play. Patrick can continue his development by playing football and also doing that with us (?)

Future signings he said we won't close the transfer window until the 1st september. Not trying to rush our signings, we don't want to rush to buy players and make sure they are important players to improve our squad.

I agree, I just don't see the point of dragging it all back up before we've even kicked a ball in anger. He's here all season regardless so some people will just have to stomach it.

Thanks mate, appreciated.
 
Guardiola has apparently signed for City, reported by tancredi and BeinSports. Also previously speculated by Dimarzio. That said, I really hope Pellegrini goes out swinging, leaving behind a legacy and moving on to bigger and better things.

I have a hunch, that Pellegrini may follow frank lampard to the MLS and start managing our sister club NYCFC.

Alot of stick with my post, some justified, with me missing out on Aguero's crucial goal to make it a 4-2 defeat. I can't understand how our fan base are okay with what happened last season, when we are a club of the same calibre as Madrid, Barca or Bayern.

Tactically, it was a 4411, or a 4231 with one Ball winning midfielder and one Playmaker, or Box to Box. I don't think Yaya is box to box anymore. Maybe I am wrong, and alot of posters do not agree with my extreme views with him.

He has games where he looks lazy and not interested and other games unplayable. Your entitles to your opinion, but possibly start with in my opinion. As soon as you start speaking for everyone your in trouble. Welcome to BM btw
