Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[hgblue]

Which is why the meeting between Begiristain and Martinez was in public. It's been funny seeing people get all hot under the collar about undermining Mancini blah, blah, blah when Mancini knows full well what is happening because he precipitated the situation.

That's nothing more than paranoid Speculation PB. I think Mancini loves it at City and is desperate to stay.

We'll see but I firmly believe it's informed speculation. He and particularly his wife are desperate to go back to Italy. Under normal circumstances you'd be right (although I'd say he was prepared to stay rather than desperate) and certainly the owners wanted him to stay is my understanding. But the Southampton & Everton games made his mind up.

But let's see what happens. In the meantime let's enjoy the news from Mordor.

So Mancini himself is a Mancini Outer? How ironic :).

That's why he's all smiles. Pity he can't bring himself to do that at pitchside.
He'll have somethin lined up in Italy. I'll wish him well, but won't miss him.

You want to watch him smile pitchside? What if he danced a jig every time he made a substitution, would that help?

Of course I wanna see him smile. Remember football with a smile? It motivates and gives off good vibes to fans and to media. Do you remember Joe Mercer giving interviews from the bench? Praising players and smiling and showing what a fantastic boss he was. It rubs off on the pitch. I'm a youth team coach in Germany and one thing I say to my lads is, "I wanna see as many high fives, loves and cuddles, praising, hand claps the lot." All this motivates and that's one thing he lacks. His body language is shocking, he shouts at players, he's forever arching his back and touching his forehead. All bad signs. Football with a smile, it pays. Obviously not saying that I could coach City :) but he needs to go. We need a leader. He can't hack it. MY opinion.

Load of bollocks to be honest.

If Mancini announces he is leaving today it wouldn't get a mention ;)

I think some folk would be happy with anyone other than Mancini in charge mate, just as long as they looked like Michael Flatley doing fucking Riverdance every time we won a throw in, or maybe did a comedy slot at half time.
Unbelievable Jeff.

I've been on the world and European champions Spain's football forum and they all want to see the back of that miserable fucker Del Bosque, they want Manuel from Fawlty towers to take over.

I guess the rags will be all right, but it must be a great loss to them

That's funny :)

The Spanish side doesn't need motivating from pitchside. In fact they don't need anyone there, just sonmeone to make the substitutions. Wearing your country's emblem, should be motivation enough. God knows where our lot go wrong. Ay, maybe that's our fault; should try having a managerless England.

That was the experiment with McLaren right?

Need to stop changing managers every couple of yrs. This is no good for the team as this could lead to wholesale changes in the squad. the only way I would change the manager is if RM asked to leave. then I would go for Jurgen Klopp from Borussia Dortmund as our new manager. Who knows he might bring acouple of players with him to strengthen our squad.
