Discuss Pellegrini (Pt 2)

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

So we stick with a manager who is looking increasingly clueless because St Helens Blue can't come up with a replacement?
What could possibly go wrong?
Our club pay folks millions to make key decisions.
I love him like a brother, but SHB is not one of them.
Why not ask Tixylix, or that other Spanish fuckwit who is currently stealing a living instead?

I love your posts fetters.I wish I'd have studied a little harder at school. Your elequence is a gift.Me-I just shoot my mouth off as I am a thick **** from Salford but hey ho pal.:-)

Fuck me am I the only person who read this post and then had an overwhelming urge to do the rest of this year's ironing!

Yes.

Evening Ray..Cheers fella but Billy doesn't ever resppnd to me so I will just keep it civil from now on with him-Saves me getting yet another ban...
Evening mods :-)

Evening Alex. It's amazing isn't it? Billy can come on and make snidey, smarmy comments and that's OK.
If we do it to him then we are following him around and being trolls and end up getting bans. Hey- ho!

Part of Pellegrinis' problem is that (in my opinion) there is a core of players who have a lazy arrogance that is undermining all the good things that have happened in the recent past. Watching the almost total lack of effort for much of last season started this train of thought and the abysmal non-performance at Wembley convinced me it was real.

These players hated Mancini because he wasn't prepared to indulge them and they will treat Pellegrini with contempt as he is a nice guy in comparison and so will be seen as a soft touch.

Great post and it allows me to post my final comment of the night as I am up at 4.45 for work....
The tail is still wagging the dog at our club. Until this changes we are not going anywhere

Seriously mate-If you can't debate properly and accept lots of fans have doubts then why post shit like that. It's an interesting debate tonight,no snideness anywhere then you come along and act like a fucking schoolgirl!!!
For what it's worth.I don't want anyone to fail-How many times.I have genuine genuine concerns-that is all.

We all as city fans want nothing more than to see us win more trophies and be successful,but like you i am worried and have my doubts but hope I'm wrong,but have stated on here that (and i have nothing against manuel pellegrini) i hope we are not seeing another ramos /scolari appointment.....

Thats exactly what we have got Ramos MK2

I honestly hope not.....

You are now the chairman of Manchester City Football Club, who are you bringing in to replace him?

In fairness that isn't Alex's job.
He is merely highlighting legitimate concerns regarding the current gaffer.
When he is paid vast amounts of money such as the astronomical fees we are paying those two Spanish blokes for not very much, then you have the right to ask him.

Blimey our clubs in turmoil, we've got a clueless manager, we've got a couple of Spanish dudes that sit around doing fuck all and the foods shit in the ground.

Roll on when the training complex finishes so we can all have a moan about the colour of the paint in the toilets.

The vilification of Txiki and Ferran is baffling. Again there's reasons to criticise Txiki because recruitment is his job. But outright hostility to an executive who's been in the job less than a year and is replacing public enemy number 1 aka Brian Marwood? I think it's because no one has the balls to take it out on our owner or chairman.

I remain convinced he won't last long. Fans haven't taken to him at all. Seems dour and does not seem pleased to be here.

Its an interesting point. I dont think he's opened up enough. Dont know who he is, what his philosophy is, who his inspirations are, what he thinks we are capable of.

I dont want to go into a Mancini v Pellegrini debate but I think we took to RM straight away and I dont think it would take too much effort to ingratiate Pellegrini with the fans.

He does seem a bit dour at the moment and from my limited knowledge of him he's not really like that.

Maybe a puff piece or an artificial bit of passion on the sidelines would help. Its all PR but I must admit I dont really know what the bloke stands for or wants to do with the club. And it does make it hard to warm to him.

On the pitch where its important, /I've bounced back from last night. We'll go into November 1st or second in the league, clear 2nd in the champions league and through to the next stage of the cup (QF's?).

And we'll all be wondering what the fuss was about.

Have to agree - MP was brought in to tackle this but maybe his comfy bedside manner is not what´s required either - one or two benched superstars however .....

because they keep themselves to themselves so people get "uneasy" because they don't get to know each little thing they do.

It's ridiculous really. Txiki criticism? ok, fine, the U19s won 6-0 v the Bayern kids a few hours before, saint to satan within 4 hours, laughable.

Mancini is gone.
I didn't want it to happen, but it did.
I dealt with it.
But I kinda hoped that his much-vaunted replacement would be an improvement.
He spent a lot of money, and yet the team are now disjointed and often look like strangers who have met up for a knockabout on the beach on holiday.
He frequently looks confused and lacking ideas.
His substitutions often make no sense.
4-4-2 went out with flared trousers, yet the current gaffer considers it cutting edge.
Players are underperforming on an epic scale.
Right now, and I feel dirty even thinking it, Harry Benttwat would be an improvement.
