Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[M24-CRC]

Like many foreign owners it seems like ours is quite interested in European competitions. And, if anything, Mancini is a proven failure in Europe, with us and Inter.

In that case we should get in Rafa. At least he's actually won the damn thing.

I keep saying, like you have a one-day captain in crcket and then a different test captain, we should have a domestic manager and a European one. Rafa is ideal for the latter job.

For fucks sake.........this just keeps getting better

Whereas Pellegrini has a glowing CV.
You have utterly avoided addressing Danny's post by stating the bleeding obvious.
So how is Pellegrini an upgrade on Mancini, exactly?

after 40+ pages of assumptions/opinions or bullshit as it is known, i'm looking forward to seeing Nips answer to this...........no opinions though Nip, only facts please.

Nip thinks wengers an upgrade.

I just seen part of an interview with bobby on SSN,he doesn't look like a man who knows he's about to lose his job,seemed relaxed and cheerful....unless HE has got what HE wants.

Seems the most sensible option bearing in mind we can't seem to attrack a manager that is capable of success in both<br /><br />-- Tue May 07, 2013 4:45 pm --<br /><br />

He knows that if he is sacked he'll walk away with a load of money straight into another job. Mancini shows the pressure after a defeat, but I don't think he's the type to worry too much about being sacked.

I'm an "inner", but its fairly obvious that, if we have another CL flop, Roberto's position would become untenable. Don't like the idea of having to change manager's in December again, or having a lame duck manager for the rest of the season.

So there's a risk in holding onto Mancini. But I'm not convinced that the names genuinely (ie not incl Mourinho or Klopp) being suggested as possible replacements are guaranteed upgrades. It would be rather like replacing Dzeko with Carroll.
