I see Soriano and co. have been briefing the press recently...

[Le Havre Oswald]

They clearly have been briefing the press as there is a similar piece in the MEN:
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...ws/pep-guardiola-man-city-masterplan-11073108

It contains this corker (make sure you're sitting down and not near anything sharp):

Made me laugh more than it should've done.

Delph and Fernando to go then?

Only if the club gets fully behind a rebuilding process and realises average stop gaps like those two aren't ever the way to go.

But they will speak to us. Khaldoon will assess this season, acknowledge the mistakes made and show us with actions, as has always been the case. 5 trophies in 5 years, well we've had 3 in 3.
Summer we go to the next phase in our development and he will tell us so. They are not going to fuck pep over so exciting times to come. That said still pissed with what's happening this year but on reflection there are a number of mitigating circumstances.

i dont think he means the little carling cup in those mate

If so it looks desperate - "IF Messi were to leave we'd be the first in line!"

Except he isn't leaving. The end

Can't say he's the best in the World until he's tested himself In the Europa.

I'm expecting City to now tell us the expansion of the North stand is going ahead, and the plans for the Collar site and Etihad Campus around the stadium will be revealed this week. My camera is already charged up and ready.

Said it on another thread: If the Board thinks that Pellegrini can't take the team further and we need a fresh face, then they are right to sack Pellegrini. If they think that Pellegrini is the reason why our team is mediocre and a new coach will change our fortunes, then hiring Guardiola will be a futile exercise.
If the reports are true that Guardiola has no plans for an extensive overhaul, then I expect the repeat of this season's or previous season's performance under Guardiola. No coach in this world can bring intensity into this group of players that got hammered by a team, that had Liverpool reject "Poulsen" playing for them.

Messi now. Ducking joke
