Re: Discussion: Potential Pellegrini Replacements
good point damo, in reality, theres no point in sacking pellers now, soriano and txiki would both agree that the league is gone but trust pellers enough to finish in top 3, then take whatever action in the summer, bit risky given our current form but they know better than us you would assumeDamocles said:Just a small point too - Begiristain and Soriano faced this issue previously.
At the end of the 07/08 season, Barca were struggling under Rijkaard since Xmas and there was a feeling that he had lost the dressing room due to his management of Ronaldinho and a couple of others.
Cruyff and others including Soriano wanted to sack him in the February/March and replace him but Txiki Begiristain politicked extremely hard against this to the point where there were rumours in the Spanish press that he was willing to put his job on the line for it.
Begiristain was a big advocate of Pep taking over who was in charge of the B Team at the time, but said that parachuting him in with a few games left would be disastrous for both the club and the future of a manager they wanted. Instead they should let the season play out as it was going to play out, then give Guardiola the reigns instead of putting him in an unwinnable scenario. Barca finished third that year which was by no means a foregone conclusion and obviously Guardiola came in the next summer.
My point is that this has happened before with the exact same decision makers in charge and they all seemed to recognise the value of waiting instead of potentially wrecking a new manager's start. The idea that we'll sack Pellegrini before the end of the season is an massive long shot for my money.

Straight to the point and of course correct in all the ranting and raving and the search for a fall guy most have missed the obvious
Damocles said:hgblue said:Mister Appointment said:Never gonna happen though Bill. And I'm not sure if these top top players are as top top as we think. Top top players don't as often let the arse fall out of their performances as this lot have. Forced myself to rewatch the Burnley game last night and all I can say is our top top players were a fucking disgrace. Absolute fucking disgrace.
This morning I feel like if Pellegrini goes this summer there better be four or five of our so called top tops following him out the door the fucking twats.
Who's that then? Kompany? Silva? Aguero? Yaya? Total madness. The manager has lost the dressing room and the players have lost confidence that he knows what he's doing. It's clear for all to see.
If two successive managers have lost the dressing room coincidentally in the season after they win a league title, then we should be looking at the players. they're the constant here. we've already switched managers and the same thing has happened again.
And if it was clear for all to see then these threads would be much shorter

Of course he's lost the dressing room. How else can you explain our recent performances and results?
Enlighten me, which top top players were you talking about then?

That's your opinion. Mine is different and I believe you'll find when the washing is done this summer our starting/best XI will be diff by at least four players.
Oh and you named those particular four players, not me. Silva was a fucking disgrace against Burnley but I'm not advocating we sell him.

Martin Foyle hasn't worked since being sacked at Southport. He was also outspoken at Hereford. Perhaps we could bring him in?
de niro said:right now i'd take anyone and i mean anyone. i like pellers but someone down there doesnt. its clearly not working. these players are top top players, something behind the scenes is affecting our play. sadly in all these cases the manager has to go. if we want to get ANYTHING from the season it has to be today. not after barca, today. paddy till the summer then appoint someone who is younger, hungrier and a little bit less nice.

Re: Discussion: Potential Pellegrini Replacements
As I said our opinions differ (on most things at present). Let's leave it there pal. We can pick up at the start of next season when we're not speculating but talking factually about who the manager is and which players have been bought/sold.

Re: Discussion: Potential Pellegrini Replacements
Maybe the Team Cat has died and they're all in mourning? Maybe Vincent Kompany gave them all the flu? Maybe they have a mental block and are trying too hard? Maybe some of them aren't happy with their contract and are on a slow down? Maybe they're just out of form? Maybe there's a referee conspiracy? Maybe we're a happy dressing room and other teams have just worked out how to play against us?
In fact if we were to go through every possible reason why City aren't in great form outside of the single one that you've picked then I'll need to go and get a coffee

Re: Discussion: Potential Pellegrini Replacements
Graham Hunter on talkshite just now, I don't think the board at City are looking to replace Pellegrini but if they do the man to come in has not been even mentioned in the English media yet
My mate has heard it's Conte of Juve and he does get quite a few things right

Conte and Rudi Garcia should both be considered IMO.
