Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[fbloke]

How many years are left on Roberto's contract?

These daft Abu Dhabians dont have a clue do they!

At least we dont support a club that keeps things in-house meaning that the press guess almost nothing right. I mean it would be a nightmare that dont you think.

 

[whicko]

Are we too late to invent a song for our new manager to air at Wembley? Its a hard one to scan - but im sure we can do it...................

pellegrini, wo-oh
he came from chilli-ee to improve us from Mancini..............

ok ok 1st effort.................

How old are you?

Perhaps we wont need to buy any defenders this summer then - sounds like Pellegrini has that covered...........

Is this why Bail hasn't put the signature on the deal we have in place, is he waiting to see who the manager is. ?

Who?

I'm eating a pork chop here with some chips, concentration is elsewhere

Is Pellegrini ok for Bale then ?

go back 40 odd years when we sacked joe mercer after a very successful spell, we are about to make the same horrendous error.

No we won't!

We have great players, great board and a great future.

You are misguided if you think Mancini is solely the reason for our success.

so are you if you think anyone thinks that. its obviously a number of factors that have brought our success.

mancini has to knit it all together, a job he has done well enough to win us two major trophies and a pop at another.

Mancini has knit a chosen selection together, the rest are left out in the cold. How do you legislate for the loss of form of Dzeko?

It is a number of factors, investment, top players, manager, coaching etc.

Mancini has been rumbled and teams now know how to play against us. Mancini has shown nothing to say he's solved this problem.

But then this is the parallel universe of football, where disbelief isn't so much suspended as jettisoned and replaced with madness.

So it's gone from us "Outers" being mad to the whole of football being mad, now...

You, CookieMonster and St Helen's Blue represent a cool island of sanity in a turbulent sea of madness.

Seriously David, take some time off from being a smug, point scoring prat for once and try to contribute something worthwhile.
My comment was referring to the madness of thinking that a manager of a team we have just beaten looked better than one involved in a relegation dogfight, and that replacing said winning manager with someone who has won fuck all was ludicrous.
You have just been made to look stupid by stating that Joe Mercer was respected by everyone at the club, when he clearly wasn't.
Try to keep your 'looking stupid' moments to a minimum, lest you finally lose the slender shred of credibility you have left on here.

Mancini just needs to watch a bit more football things will be clearer then.

Oh dear de niro you really think if we sacked Mancini we would spend 40 years in utter despair because you know, I know, and mr pixie man on the moon knows that you dont really think that.

And breathe again, NF.

Take a few seconds to breathe.

There now. Things aren't that bad, are they? He'll do OK out of this, I told you earlier.

He spend too much time watching Italian football hat's the problem ;)

Seriously, he's a defensive manager hence why our defence is the best. He sets up to be strong at the back. Compare us to the rags for a direct comparison, they have a wealth of attacking options and set out to outscore teams.

We have Aguero and Tevez who would get into any team in the world imo. When you allow for all these draws and tight games there's more to it.

Mancini of course knows what he's doing but a change of approach would do us no end of good. Have you not noticed how we do better when 'the shackles are taken off'?
