Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[baildon blue]

Not buying into this Pellergrini for City rubbish.Pellergrini getting on a bit and cant speak english.So i think where best sticking with Mancini.

What don't you rate? Because for me I only rate a manager on trophies he wins with a club

Its been discussed to death mate,however,for the sake of humouring you - man management,Europe,tactics,squad building,transfers........

I'm of the opinion many managers could have achieved similar success given our resources.

Thats how i see it,you'll disagree and the circle continues.........

Emotion is preventing clarity IMO.

So Mancini has all these faults

management,Europe,tactics,squad building,transfers

And still wins trophies don't you think he is something special?

The new "Special One"

 

[waspish]

Mancini wins trophies so he does get the best out of his squad.

That's an utterly ridiculous statement.

What's the aim of a manager?

 

[andyhinch]

Any idea what the financial cost of removing Mancini and his team of coaches will be?

No idea, but perhaps he will be walking rather than pushed?

Bloody hell, Ducado. Don't you start!

I'm mostly an inner, but I think he'll be living in Monaco next year, not to happy about it tbh.

Who says his coaches are going?

One out all out.

Surely depends if he is sacked or resigns.

I have no idea if Pellegrini has a Tafiaesque entourage.

As a new coach to the league, he may want to retain local knowledge.

Why would City get rid of or allow new manager to get rid of Kiddo?

 

[Del_Bosque]

They're non playing staff anyway so aren't they paid through a different subsidiary for FFP purposes?

If he does go it will be a mutual thing rather than a sacking

4th summer on the bounce that these "ITKs" have said that Mancini's leaving. He's still here. I've also been awaiting Balotelli's comments ripping Mancini apart because he hates him which still don't seem to be here either. If I didn't know better, I'd say that these people work pretty much entirely on guesswork and 4th hand sources.

and mutual reinforcement of their plausibility structures, or teaming as it has become known on the internet.

Madrid have scored 13 goals against Málaga this season.

 

[The Future's Blue]

Scare mongering of Blues always prevails. We've got a cup final to see to, after that, carry on.

I was asked at the match last night by more than one person if I thought Mancini was off and Pellegrini was in. Which just shows how much the media influence people, even die-hard, pessimistic blues. Bizarre....
