Sorry, I disagree, I found his words encouraging and motivating, and although we will never know, I suspect the board did too.

I was fine with Manuel's decision unlike many others on here and no-one heard me going on about Willy playing.And yet you don't see where you've erred in not supporting your leader in the organization we all care about? OK.
My whole point was our leader who is employed to win trophies and titles saying to the media that he'd rather lose yesterday than go back on his word to Willy. Even if this was the case, why would one say it in public and where was his concern with players feelings when he dropped Jovetic from the CL squad last season?
Seems like one rule for Willy and another for everyone Jovetic.

When Willy has played he has been terrible (Spuds and Chelsea off the top of my head) His form did not deserve a place in the final.

I suspect that seeing as he'll be gone soon, it doesn't really matter to the board. Btw this is the same board who said last summer that another season without trophies was unacceptable.Sorry, I disagree, I found his words encouraging and motivating, and although we will never know, I suspect the board did too.
Like I said you have no argument against me because I had no issue with Willy playing yesterday, just with our leader saying he would rather have lost yesterday than broke his word to Willy. If you're fine with that then fine that's your business, but I have an issue with it and it had nothing to do with Willy but what was said.

That I can accept because there is no right or wrong answer, just opinions which is what this forum is for. As for the usual suspects wanting to spark managerial warfare as their last hurrah, just leave them to it.No probs, we just agree to disagree.

Agreed. I just couldn't believe it when I heard what he said as I thought a manager was there to whatever he could to win trophies and titles. I just think it was ill advised for him to say this publicly.For what it's worth i get what you are saying,i would have been furious if we had lost and he said but we won so happy days
On the flip side of the coin, can you imagine if you'd busted your arse all season hoping to be called up on merit just to learn an agreement had already been forged that your playing rival will play come rain, wind, snow, sun or if his fuckin left leg fell off?
Yup I can see that being great for team spirit! Lol :-)

MP setting the blue print for 'the city way' followed closely by VK on City Slickers and post penalty reaction. In 3 words humble, integrity and charming and we still won the trophy.... Class
Sounds like some on here would prefer the toxic Jose way!

No matter how many people say it on here Willy is not shite. Manuel promising Willy his place is simply the Spanish style of having a cup keeper. Caballero really wasn't that bad at Chelsea, he's probably had worse games, more to do with the players infront of him I say. So Pellegrini wasn't throwing caution to the wind or just trying to convince us all he's a nice guy. He simply stuck to his tactics. I wouldn't even call it a risk because Willy has quality (ofcourse played out of his skin yesterday) and the team infront of him was vastly improved. His record speaks for itself, he is a very good manager. Fair enough if you don't like him or his tactics but they did work. His class is an added bonus, how anyone can say he doesn't put winning first I do not know. It all worked out which meant Pellegrini could say this, I believe he likes to stand up for himself to the media where possible, if we didn't win I think we'd have more worries than what he would say. Bluemoaners you made me shake my head in disbelief once again, now back to sense and joy!
