It's because he has taken the team backwards at the rate of knots since he took over from the previous manager regardless of who he was.

Has he ? are we a worse team or had a worse season than12/13 ? Ha he taken us forward as much as I'd hoped no he hasn't It can't be that easy though when you know the squad is treading water and whatever you do you are being replaced at the end of the season.Oh do grow up.

The previous manager never got out of the CL group stage. Pellegrini has the same trophy record as the previous manager and come Wednesday night could be 90 minutes away from the European cup. Backwards my arse.

So are you actually advocating he has taken us forward?

Deserves a respectful send off. Unfortunately, I think he'll only get it if we avoid a twatting by Le Arse.
I think his tenure has been a mixed bag. The first year was so full of promise and he steadied a horribly rocky ship. It just never took off from there. Agreed he has taken us further in Europe, but outside of this year, he displayed some real tactical naivete in the CL. Remember that last year we barely scraped through the group stage and needed luck winning the group this year. So I believe he's certainly done better than Bobby, but he's not streets ahead.
All in all, he's won us 3 trophies (so far) and I'll always be grateful for that. Could he have done better?

I'll swap a cup and c/l semi final with a 3rd or 4th finish over that 12/13 season, we seem to have forgotten how dire that season was.Scrapping for 4th is backwards,it's bloody clear

Okay mate, here's what he's done that deserves clapping:
Won the league, the league cup x 2 got us the furtherst we've ever been in the Champions league
On top of that he's managed the biggest bunch of uninspired lazy bunch of Prima-donnas we've ever seen at City. He has done all this despite the entire squad being ravaged by injuries constantly and for a ridiculous amount of time. This season alone the squad has had 69 different injuries.
He has done all that without being allowed to set up his own identity within the team, he has done all the above whilst knowing that no matter what he did, no matter how well he does, no matter what he was leaving, a stop gap. The equivalent of a footnote in the history of City's meteoric rise to the top. Nothing but a body to steady the storm left by Mancini in the back.
He has done all the above whilst being hobbled by FFP allowing the team to Stagnate, (Which no-one even bothers to mention any more when asking why this squad is so aged and decrepid. No, it's much more convenient to blame the corpse in charge.) He has done all the above despite all the cunts on here calling him things I would be honestly surprised to read on RAWK or Ragcafe, let alone here about one of our own.
He has done all the above in the face of adversity from constant corrupt officials, no help from the FA, no help from anyone all whilst being calm, pleasant and in control.
He has done all the above whilst being completely hung out to dry by the very players he has put all his trust into the past few years whilst he's been here. Pellegrini has always been a great man-manager that relies on the players to deliver after he puts trust in which approximately none of them have other than one. I see everyone has forgotten just how well Willy played in the LC fina purely because of how Pellegrini handled that situationl? Of course we have because Bluemoon has the collective attention span of a toddler with ADHD in the middle of Times square.
Another thing he's put up with City fans constant fucking moaning. He's put up with nothing this year other than "Why doesn't he play the full strength team every week the senile ****?" "Why is he running Kevin De Bruyne and aguero into the ground? How dare he play them every week" He can't win. The double standards a lot of the "fans" are showing recently are disgusting and I can't believe I've put this much effort into typing a response that you nor anyone else will bother to read because that's exactly the problem with this site. But why should we expect Pellegrini to care any more when so many have already turned our backs on him, all the while mocking Arsenal, United & everyone else for how tempremental they are, and how is he repaying our dispicable treatment of him? delivering a trophey, still well in the fight for top 4 and in the CL Semi-final with a very good chance of going through.
That's why he deserves a clap. But by all means, act like the spoilt toddler you are because he politely refused to sign an autograph for a child on one occasion.
Superb post fella.
