A Tribute to Manuel Pellegrini?

[ali benarbia's studs]

The is the best manager we had so far in the new age/recent times. He has loads of class and has always carried himself well. Legend, always grateful for everything he has done. Great guy.

We need a chat Eccles,the man has been a total dick in his post match interviews from the last 3 games we played them,do not like him again,although he is kinda cute lol

Don't worry Karen7 it will be a long day in hell before he really gets back on my favourite Roberto list!! He is a hypocrite of the highest order............ might look cute but have you ever looked at his shoes? Being near the away team's dug out I can see these things and he wears real old fashioned winkle pickers in a sort of muddy dark yellow!!

Pellegrini has done a fine job at City, winning the league and league cup in your debut season is no mean feat.

The relationship with Pellegrini is now one of a Dad you sort of disliked. But now you've found out he's terminally ill you give him loads of respect

His shoes are just covered in the shit that has ran down his legs from his mouth.

He has thanked the fans for the support and for singing his name during the game tonight.

In the years since 1971 he is totally unrivaled at this club in terms of achievements and win ratios and potentially could achieve much much more. Long may we celebrate his name at our club. In my lifetime, I've enjoyed watching football under Sven-Göran Eriksson, Kevin Keegan, Joe Royle, Brian Horton and Peter Reid for totally different reasons to today. For me the stewardships of Stuart Pearce, Mark Hughes, Frank Clark, Alan Ball, were in a way like Phil Neal, Asa Hartford, Tony Book and Brian Kidd, just caretakers tiding us over.

Credit has to go to Hughes for solidifying a squad in decline, adding depth and bringing in some foundations. Roberto Mancini took us to the next level, he made us competive again and gave us belief not found at the club previously for far too long. Sadly his tactics were sussed too soon. Then stepped in Manuel Pellegrini who in the world's most competitive lead added attacking football, strengthened a strong inherited squad and ensured City could compete season after season. He also lowered the squad's average age. He wanted to extend for one year and City had their eyes previously on someone more longterm. I think as The Engineer departs, his successor will see he has to do very little, just reinforce and blend in some of our youth and other young players. Pellegrini won't be remembered just for stats, that is for sure. He has done a great job and has the chance to add silverware still.

• MP is currently the 14th longest serving manager in terms of competitive games, and when he leaves after another 19 games or more he'll be potentially 12th.

I think you are a bit harsh on Tony Book, he was a real decent manager, who put together a great team, and challenged for titles / cups. It was Peter Swales bringing back Malcolm Allison that screwed up Tony Books team, and ambition. Though to be fair I agree with the rest.

Totally agree with your comments on Tony Book, who was a very under rated manager.

No, no, no, I mean when he was caretaker manager for 3 or 4 games in the late 80's/early 90's. He held the ship after Machin and Reid. It goes without saying he is a club legend but all is previous managerial appointments pre-dated my birth in 1982. Maybe the lack of knowing when I was raised, didn't help!
