I would honestly say you would be lucky if 1 out of every 1000 city fans thought it would be an upgrade..nijinsky's fetlocks said:

If I was looking at that level of payoff... I'd be relaxed and cheerful! Seriously he does look confident about his position.
Maybe now the league is officially over,it's chilled him out a bit..I ain't seen him that relaxed for a while,as I posted a few pages back prosoccer24 have got over 70 players on their books as well as 13 managers,that meeting could of,(and I say could of)been about anything..I posted in the transfer thread that if pelligrini had signed a new deal with Malaga,talkshite would be saying we were in for del bosque,as he is on their books too.

I would just like to know how many 'outers' consider Pellegrini to be an improvement, and if they actually want him to replace Mancini, and their reasons as to exactly why.
It's a simple enough question.
I don't think he is. Granted I don't know a lot about him though.
Bernarbia and Any1ABlue (something like that, I'm normally scrolling down quickly when I see his name) want him in before the final - but then after reading their negative posts on here for the last few years that can only be a good thing.The cookie monster said:I would honestly say you would be lucky if 1 out of every 1000 city fans thought it would be an upgrade..nijinsky's fetlocks said:The cookie monster said:Nip thinks wengers an upgrade.

Some of you are outright rabid on naming people "inners" and "outers"
I'd have a hard time saying whether Pellegrini is an upgrade on Mancini, I'd have to watch him manage our squad for two seasons to know the answer, which is really why picking a manager is so damned difficult.
Maybe moving on from Mancini to Pellegrini is too risky, but there's a very low likelihood that anyone who has a strong opinion on the matter has really followed a team Pellegrini has coached enough to get a sense for how he would fit in our setup, side, and situation.
If you had asked me about Mancini 4 years ago, you'd have gotten a very different opinion of him from me than you'd get today. And I don't mean a different opinion of him in terms of good/bad (things are not that binary), but in terms of the things he's good at, things I'm not enamored with, etc etc.
If you put a gun to my head, personally, i'd probably lean something like 55/45 toward the idea that Bobby probably isn't the answer. He's probably too one dimensional and unable to create a team that adapts to the different styles a (now)great team like City are going to face, finding a way to win in all those situations. But how the hell can anyone know if the Pellegrini of today can do that? Is the fear of that unknown worth just trying the same thing over again and hoping it is better this time? It's a hell of a decision and one that we're paying a lot of very smart and experienced football men to ponder over. I really don't see why this has to be so vitriolic and silly labels like "inner" and "outer" applied to everyone. In my opinion there's clearly a credible case to be made for sticking with Roberto and there's clearly a credible case to be made for moving on and trying to improve. All we can do as City fans is hope to hell the people in charge get it right.

No, I don't think he is an upgrade and I would not remove Bobby to bring him in. However, I would not claim to be well up on Pellegrini. I don't think it is inconceivable for him to come in and start winning things and get more from the resources available but he has not got a trophy laden CV and that is a concern for a guy of his age.
If Bobby were to resign, and it was up to me, I would probably shortlist MP but he would not be at the top of the list.
