I can't find the picture or video now but there was this Manchester derby where we were losing and Pellegrini's assistant Cousillas was enjoying a good sleep, we eventually lost the game. Great guy but yeah he lacked the energy for the PL.Pellegrini is so old he probably invented the wheel to be fair.
top shaggerIf he is to replace Walker, i think it has legs :)
better then 5 million short of asking priceStraight back out on loan to girona then next season at borussia whatever and we are sure to make about £5milliion on this one
He kind of blew things up, though.He was a stop gap. Dont blow things up before Pep arrives and he didn't. Will always love Mancini for his time here but look at how it ended, wouldn't get that with MP. He did the job and left without any issues.
I guess. Like said he wasn't at the level we really needed but held it together and look how it improved under Pep. I know his first season was tough but you go from MP to Pep, thats a hell of a leap if you ask meHe kind of blew things up, though.
The squad was much worse when he left than when he arrived.
That’s true but it wasn’t on Manuel… The shit squad was the first incarnation of Txiki and Soriano playing it cheap…He kind of blew things up, though.

Yaya was on the beach for years but David Silva was never poor for City. Even when his ankle injury was at its worst he still put a shift in week after week.I think the only player that managed to maintain his standard under Pellegrini was KDB, Even players like Yaya and Silva became so poor, at some point I thought I was watching Steed Malbranque play for us. Pellegrini was an atrocious manager, had nothing on Mancini
I find it hard to believe that Txiki recommended replacing Dzeko with Bony, Barry with Fernando and signing Mangala....That’s true but it wasn’t on Manuel… The shit squad was the first incarnation of Txiki and Soriano playing it cheap…
He wasnt poor but he also had a bit of a mini-decline in his last season.Yaya was on the beach for years but David Silva was never poor for City. Even when his ankle injury was at its worst he still put a shift in week after week.
