Spot on Marvin, spot onMarvin said:We can assume that Soriano and Txiki are responsible for the press reports that Pellegrini is safe for now, but what does Khaldoon think?
Meanwhile if you were Silva, or Aguero how long would you tolerate this farce? City are playing with fire by sitting on our hands and hoping for the best. It really is difficult to see how this wait and see approach can be justified.
This is an organisation that wants to supplant Man Utd, take on Barcelona and Real Madrid and set up an international ring of football clubs to dominate the world game. It's almost funny.
No point saying Get a Grip City! No one is there apart from a crowd of vultures looking on and laughing their heads off.

Of course we might still reach 3rd place too with a good run. But if gambling lose we lose lot bigger than what we win.
I wonder how fast they would react if Big Sam travels back to London with a point or even three...
Or would they still keep gambling on the Villa game after.
I think he should have gone already. Liverpool are in good form overall and WH is no easy game. It's a big gamble.

JoeMercer'sWay said:don't want Rafa, hasn't consistently delivered major trophies as should be expected from an elite manager, underachieved at Napoli and after 2005, with Liverpool as well, as well as failing at Inter, regardless of how Mou had left the squad at the time.
Damanino said:4th place is a big gamble on its own. Guarantees no CL group stage and with 4-5 new first team player brought in in the summer we wont be a very gelled team to face a tricky European opponent in pre season to decide about our whole CL status.
Our knock out stage stage experience is poss poor imo in Europe. The last that wasnt horrible was the Hamburg tie probably. Since than what we have done vs the likes of Sporting, Kijev and Barca 4 times in a row doesnt tell me we could be overly optimistic if we meet CSKA or Lazio in August for the CL group stage.
Top3 should be targeted in last 6 games. Thats what guarantees CL and CL income. Derby win would have been perfect to get top3 or to improve our chances but thats gone now.

The answer is probably no. They might win a bit 'more of the same' (another trophy or league), but CL doesn't look realistic for some time.
Whilst not actively looking elsewhere, they must be pondering life after City.
