Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2014/15 (continued)

[Ray78]

Lol! He will be gone tonight then. Hardly big on exclusives are they?

3 hours 11 minutes left.

MEN just posted a link on Twitter with breaking news saying Pellegrini is SAFE! Worst possible news.

Absolutely crestfallen. He has to carry the can.

Terrible news if true. He's completely clueless.

There will be a lot of empty seats on Sunday if true

He's toast and he knows it. The man with gun and the big bag of cash is just waiting to find out whether his services are required during or post season.

Probably some rag journo trying to upset us :-)

Shame our players have decided that they don't want to play for the club,

You mean to say you're not gonna go if he's still in charge?

When did we turn into the geordies?

MEN: The players, not Pellegrini, are being blamed for the current slump by City's hierarchy. MP's job is safe unless the slump continues.

^^ haha.... some here will prolong their long winter depression due to this news and the derbys result yesterday...

The players have almost thrown two managers under the bus so both the team and Pellers are responsible.

That said, Pellers shot himself in the foot when he said refereeing decisions wouldn't count against us. He hadn't realised how spineless the officials are here. The offside Burnley goal was the turning point in the season.

There's a lot of talk re Rafa but I don't see it being him. He just doesn't fit the profile. If we wanted a tactician who is willing to forgo the "holistic" approach to get results Mourinho would already be our manager!

If MP goes now then it has to be Vieira, he surely has to be at the club for some kind of long term succession planning? I expect it was never in the plan that he would be required so soon but with a lack of viable options out there he, in my opinion should get the nod at least in the short term.

Pellers is safe according to Brennan

Man City stars under pressure with Pellegrini safe

The club's hierarchy believe the players are to blame for what has been a disappointing season at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City's under-performing stars will carry the can for the club’s poor season.

But Manuel Pellegrini’s job is safe unless the current slump continues.

City have held no meetings about the manager’s future following Sunday’s derby surrender to United, and there are no discussions scheduled until the usual end of season review – which covers all staff, not just Pellegrini.

That will not change, unless the Blues blow up completely and fall out of the top four Champions League places.

The finger of blame from the club hierarchy is being pointed firmly at highly-paid stars like Yaya Toure, Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri, who have all failed to hit the required standards.

Those three, and other big names, will be part of a purge in the summer – although the fact that many of the stars are contracted beyond this summer, and on big money, means their departures could be problematic if any dig in their heels.

Pellegrini has been the subject of speculation over his future for weeks, and that has intensified as City have slipped from joint top to fourth since New Year’s Day, as well as crashing out of the FA Cup and Champions League.

But the Blues’ hierarchy of chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, chief executive Ferran Soriano and football director Txiki Begiristain have not pressed the panic button.

The futures of Soriano and Begiristain have also been questioned, and they will face stiff questions in the review – expected to take place when Khaldoon visits Manchester near the end of the season.
