Discuss Pellegrini

[MadchesterCity]

I was just on the verge of starting a new topic when I decided it would get slaughtered so I will pose the question on this one.

If not Pellegrini then who would you want as manager?

I am not advocating sacking him after four games but who is available that could do the job anyway? Apart from Mancini, what top class manager is currently out of work?

Mancini should have got another year.

You would have had to show a great amount of faith to keep him, personally long term it could have been a great decision but it would have been very messy

you couldn't have given him a year you would have had to trust him for the next five years at least

Which we should have done

Pellegrini seems like a nice guy. But he's 60 years old and if he was going to be a great football manager he would be one already.

The club has fallen victim to politics. Neither Sheikh Mansour nor Khaldoon are football people and they've been badly advised.

bang on the money.

1971 all over again.

When his name was first put forward, I thought why the hell would we want to sack a serial winner and replace him with the Chilean version of Juande Ramos. However not wanting to appear a bad loser went along with the Cabals version, that Pelle is a football genius. To be fair to that small group of Mancini dislikers, Txiki and most of the media and the players seemed to concur.

Having now seen the first games of his reign the obvious thing is that whereas when Roberto came in he organised a fairly shambolic defence, Pelle seems to have made our defence appear extremely vulnerable.

That wouldn't be so bad if something were offered in return. But in fact we look pretty disorganized all over the park.

I can't help feeling that the signings have been good. The question is whether we have a Joe Venglos or an Arsene Wenger running things from the side.

Mancini's ego got to him he didn't get the backing he believed he deserved and rightfully or wrongly popped off in public. Now all of us know you cannot undermine your bosses in public. Still think he could take us further.

Pellegrini will last about as long as it takes for him to piss off the players, once he does that they'll go squealing to people above him and he'll be a goner.
Player power rules at City.

And if it meant getting rid of a few high profile players then so be it. At least players who then came to the club would know the manager had the power.

He is even older and wouldn't leave Arsenal for us even though we got a couple of his players that he knew wouldn't be part of championship winning side at Arsenal again but Wenger and City would be a good fit.

I know its early days but even Martinez or a few premiership managers at " lesser clubs than us " namely Swansea and Liverpool to mention but two could get us playing more entertaining and decisive football than what we have served up in our last three games.

Which is exactly what they should have done if that was what was required. I agree that would have given Mancini further power but think the two amigos did him up like a kipper

But at least the players are happy now, who cares about results their well being is my only concern
