Soriano has not "lost his focus on City because of New York". He's barely involved in it past board meetings in the same way that Khaldoon is with City.
So both Ferran and Txiki need to get this next appointment if and when right or they both face questions of the highest order.
Only my opinion but it's a massive risk waiting for Pep when a excellent opportunity presents itself.
Maybe we have an agreement with Pep maybe and hopefully for next season, if not get Klopp.

All this talk about replacing him, we might win the remaking games of the season yet

From who?
Ferran runs Manchester City. He is the boss. Sheikh Mansour is the owner; he doesn't run the company. He could potentially remove anybody he liked but why would he?
People have an incredibly simplistic view of how City works. It's a business, you don't sack all of your management and executive team because they made a bad decision or Crystal Palace beat us. They are judged over 5 year periods not 5 months.

Still wouldn't be good enough for the owners IMO and rightly so with the investment they have made.

Should not make an ounce of difference even if we did.

Which, for me, wouldn't change the situation at all. This season hasn't just been a disappointment, it's been a catalogue of poor performances, failed opportunities, tactical mistakes and a seeming inability to motivate the squad. You name it Pellegrini has failed to do it.Ducado said:All this talk about replacing him, we might win the remaking games of the season yet

If we DID end up finishing second, the perspective of the season for most fans would change.
Yes we've been woeful these last few months, but 6 very good performances and runners up would make it appear like a freak 3 months.
Right now, it's hard to see a way back, but 6 good performances would demonstrate there IS a way back.
Sadly, I don't think we'll see 6 good performances. I'm sure we'll win a few games, but I see at least another loss and some draws.
However...
Once the seeds of doubt in the manager are sewn, it's very difficult to come back from, and regardless of who is actually identifying transfers, fans have started to lose faith in the same management team. The fans have also started to become excited about the prospect of a new manager. That alone sounds the death knell for an incumbent one.
Even with an amazing run-in, and lessening of the harsh appraisal of this season, those 'seeds' cannot be unsewn.
