Closely followed by John Benson, jesus we made some shockingly poor appointments.
Worth remembering no one in the media questioned Pearces appt like they did Pep.

Because of our history of manager turnover there have always been large numbers of City fans who advocated giving managers time, whoever they were.
Id say the last manager who the majority wanted sacked was Alan Ball. Maybe Frank Clark but Ball is probably the only one who the crowd chanted about.
He wasn’t really “classy” though was he.
Very little tactical acumen and spent most of the game having a nap.
All the “this charming man” and “the engineer” stuff was a load of absolute bollocks.
I agree. I hated all that jumping up and down in the squalid, cramped, cesspit when we beat the rags 6-1.I know its sacrilege on here, but I couldn't stand Bobby's football I wanted him out more than I wanted world peace.

He was a very good coach but had the personality of a wet fart and his team the same.
I felt so sorry for him that day. It was embarrassing watching most of the stadium drain out as quickly as we did, but this is the way our fans chose to let their feelings be known after nearly being relegated from the Champions League.Hughes. Wanted that useless rag twat out before he set foot through the door, I was gutted when Sven left.
Was confused at the time with all the fuss in the media about Hughes being “disrespected” by having Mancini waiting in the wings. Fuck him.
Did I mention he was a useless rag twat?
And tbh, Pellegrini. Didn’t want him “sacked” but it was time to go a year before he actually did. The stadium was half empty for his farewell ceremony thing for a reason.

It was rumoured & later confirmed that MP was only ever a stop-gap until Pep arrived. The difference between him & Guardiola is night & day.
