#AskManuel

[pudge]

Just Chelsea and Barcelona. No one significant.

Hahahaha.

I know you have to continually push your Pellegrini agenda as you already made yourself look a dickhead over Mancini but that takes the cake.

Chelsea got Mourinho end of, there is no possible scenario that they would want Pellegrini instead. As for Barca, I highly doubt it as he'd be an idiot to turn them down in favour of City.

It's bollocks though and you obviously can't prove it but thanks for the laugh.

Here you go:

Who's laughing now, Big Mouth?

Firstly, an unofficial approach claimed by his agent, through an intermediary representing Chelsea doesn't really validate any sense of "high demand"

Secondly, if you actually read that second article then you'd realize how it actually proves nothing as Barca are mentioned twice with one being in the title....

City are aware that they may face competition with Barcelona among others, amid concerns over Tito Vilanova's health problems.

That's the only reference to any "demand" from Barca in the article.

He was undoubtedly pursued by other clubs but the evidence you have presented to back up your claim is, I believe the legal term "bollocks"

Pretty sure he's still laughing to be fair if he read any of those articles.

He's obviously a highly regarded coach, but I'm not sure agent quotes or speculative newspaper stories are "proof" of any interest from the likes of Chelsea or Barcelona. That's just me being pedantic though.

This will go down well, just like #askJavi

 

[whalley ranger]

Favourite Womble?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

BILD also wrote that he was Bayern's second choice behind Guardiola, so he was clearly in some demand and is a widely respected coach in Europe. A shame some of our fans have no patience and have turned into everything they once despised.

They are missing their hero. You have to feel their pain even though it's roots are in ignorance.

It will change.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Is PL football more passionate than La Liga?
Do you think more could be done to motivate our players?
Would you agree we have lost points due to unfavourable decisions from the officials?
Do you think officials find it easier to give decisions against City than some other clubs, (like Chelsea), because they know whatever they do, they will not receive much criticism?

Some very good and fair questions PS.

Everyone's laughing at you, you idiot. Bringing up press speculation to prove a point is very poor.

You do rather cling on to things DD, I hope we all support him and the team, to be fair I felt your pain for 3 years, I'm glad I don't have any.

IDidn't think you'd believe all the paper stories, or think anything in there was proof, I'm happy to give him time though.

I didn't present anything as proof. it would be virtually impossible to prove interest between any club and any manager ever, until they sign a contract. Especially in a scenario where both parties are in contract with someone else. As it goes, I know for a fact that the Indy story is true. But I expect all the "bullshit" brigade to start barking just like they did when Pellegrini was linked to us in spring.

Couldn't give a fuck.
