A Chilean version of David Moyes is probably a very harsh assessment of him, but there you go.westdidsburyblue said:Could anyone summarize the strengths of Pellegrini for me please?
I'm struggling to find any reasons or evidence for him over Bobby.
Possibly, and the bonus of that is that the players will feel a new sense of enthusiasm about playing. The risk is appointing someone who deflates that enthusiasm. The right appointment could trigger a season like we've never seen, but it could go horribly wrong too. I can't stop thinking about it to be honest.strongbowholic said:So player power saw the end of him. Is this what Vinny meant when he spoke of the players being together?

But this is what I've been told this morning:
Pellegrini has an agreement with MCFC to become new manager and has done since last week.
There has been a late move, not by us, but by another manager who is interesting in joining us, and the board are interested in him.
Pellegrini is aware of this, and has no objections - he is also in contact with Barcelona.
I have no reason to lie, so just thought I'd put out there what i've told.
This seems entirely plausible. If I was an ambitious manager and the City job suddenly became available I would email my CV, so to speak.
So are you claiming Villanova believes he may be out of a job and has put his name forward. Doubt that somehow...
As Stuart Brennan stated in MEN any contact with Pellegrini did not essentially mean a deal was agreed.

Yes Vinjay but the other guy said nothing about Vilanova coming here you just made that up yourselfVinjay said:Vinjay said:jollylescott said:This seems entirely plausible. If I was an ambitious manager and the City job suddenly became available I would email my CV, so to speak.

Just asked a journalist about this and confirmed that Barcelona definitely interested in Pellegrini. Certainly gave the impression its still more likely than Vilanova coming here though...
