Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[mcfc1894]

we don't need no pellegrini, we don't need no mourinho, oi media, leave our bob alone

Fergie, the press and Mourinho will bully him into not being a threat.

If Pellegrini does replace Mancini in the summer it sheds a very bad light on Txiki in terms of discretion.

Maybe Mancini wanted to re-sign, was told to stay where he was and the club would make moves whilst he stayed intact.

Just a thought ;)

Txiki is doing what's best for City. We look likely to get Isco, Cavani, Fernandinho and a few others. By the end of summer yourself and others will be shrivelled up behind a screen in litres of sperm such is the quality of change this summer.

Just you wait!

Your thought still doesn't take away from the fact that Txiki's meeting with Martinez lacked discretion.

As for the second part of your post, grow up!

OK this is my two peneth.

Lets look at the returns we have had on our Managers both how we played and what we won against the History and credibility they came with. Now im not going to lay out stats, as they can be flakey, but as a generalisation

Mark Hughes - Came with no history of success or wining fook all previously. Left having won fook all and no signs of winning anything. Occasional great game due to some of the expensive players bought.

Sven - Came with great CV and blindly assembled a team in 4-5 weeks that had the capabilities to go on and do "something". He won nothing i know with CIty but he was shafted big style

Stuart Pearce - No reputation no history - At City, Won Fook all and played the worst football I've ever seen

Kevin Keegan - Came with a CV of exciting football but not much silverware, good at getting teams promoted - At City, got promoted, exciting football

Joe Royle - Good at getting teams promoted and getting best out of players, bits of silverware previously, with City both religations and promotions, got the best out an average squad

1 - 2 miss a few

Alan Ball Came to city with a reputation for religation, need I go on?


So there is a theme building up

Mancini, came to City with an outstanding domestic trawl of trophies but limited to no european success there. What has he done for City? Great domestic success upto now, no european success.

The Managers that have it all are very few and far between.

I don't think we are a club that should be lookinging to plug that european gap with a manger that has not delivered the goods before.

I have no doubt that if we had Mourinio we would win, and a lot of things inc Chumps league, however, that comes with bagagge that severe it is just not City or what our Owners stand for, we have a bit more class. - Sorry special one, but not for City

I think that we are too far along our development to be chancing our progression with a manager with "Potential"

We all know Mancini's negatives are his man management skills and upto now poor european efforts, but is Pelligrini the right person to take over? He might be a great man manager and have all the squad over for a BBQ and he might of had a good run in chumps league with an unfashionable team, but that seems all he has, there are a few bits of silverware in his past in a different continent, but is it sound enough to take a punt on?

It is a very difficult decision to take with the future of our club at the moment, not one to take lightly, and will no doubt have the top brass locked in a strokey beard meeting for hours, weeks and months.

As for Talkshite "MOOSE", he is the apitomy of modern day football journo's, LAZY WANKERS. He is a joke of massive proportions, even Alan Brazil pities him. So OP, don't stake your rep on Talk shite rumours mate.

Good read as usual Gracey, agree with everything you say, however TS might be taking a punt but i'm afraid the wheels look in motion, i'd sooner Bob was given the respect he deserves and the chance to have another pop at it but alas it looks over )O:

 

[Craggers]

Ah ha! ive sussed it!!! Its a smoke screen, then the special one pops in the back door.

Where is Txiki meant to meet up? A cave? It's very hard to meet up anywhere and not get found out.

As I said, nobody knows yet that the club haven't accepted a resignation from Bobby and have made moves accordingly, nobody knows anything yet!

As for grow up. I meant what I said, Txiki will come good and everyone will be chuffed.

Could be that now the club hierarchy have, in their opinion, successfully managed the release of club information via media outlets they have now decided to do the same with regard to the ITK crowd. on forums such as this.

A snippet of info here and another there could be an effort to identify the last remaining leaks of sensitive information into the public domain in an attempt at preventing it from happening in the future.

That would not be a bad shout and others have said the same in the past.

'We are signing Lamela' to a coach, paper picks up on headline, coach is busted.

The Pelligrino rumour has gone very flat.
