YES
2 brain farts bookending a 2 week period = finished.

I agree mate. I've seen the 67% banded around quite a lot.

I'm guessing if you take out the season where he used Mancini's squad you can take around 10% off that percentage. Puts him similar to Pardew's win percentage at Palace

My eyes tell me everything i need to know mate, stats are one of the most misleading things abt.

 

[pudge]

So your in agreement, the squad is not that strong?

Yes, the squad he's put together with untold money is not very strong.

At least we're not getting beat at home by Bournmouth

I don't fancy going to their place at the min or Leicester

The question is could/would other managers have got a higher win ratio (or more importantly higher points return) with the same squad?

its an impossible question to answer.

What i will say is that whilst the squad we have isn't as good as we all first thought, could and should he be getting better out of it than he is right now?

Absolutely yes!

The strength of our squad is perhaps a bit overestimated but is a lot better than Pellegrini is getting out of it and is as good as any in this league.

When you say he, I assume you mean Txiki?

I agree our squad isn't as good as some make out.

Certainly in terms of what is required to go to the next level.

We are going backwards certainly in terms of consistency of performance in the premiership.

Personally as some have said we are too lightweight.

No sure if that will assist in you finding me but our problems go much deeper than the manager notwithstanding he has to go.

Excellent set up off the field and the brand continues to head in the right direction off the field but on the field we are going backwards.

The most consistent and best players were recruited before Pellegrini turned up and dare I say it Txiki too, the shit players are the ones bought whilst he is here, so who is to blame ?

Who the fuck decided that Bony is a City player, and throw Mangala and Fernando in there aswell, the lack of recruitment in the fullback positions is nothing short of a disgrace.

non of this though excuses his lack of ability at motivating the squad, God only knows what Klopp could do with these players.

Dont forget Marwood.

No manager for City going forward will have the final say on players, none.
