Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

[Santiago Street]

Rijkaard's flopped since Barca

You really have got some chip on your shoulder: it's not about point scoring; it is about context.

Do you blame Mancini when Vinnie gets sent off?

Malaga played with 10 men for much of the game. They conceded their second goal because their keeper picked up a back pass, possibly because he was distracted by injury.

You don't judge a manager on one result.

And for what it is worth, I'm not in favour of changing Mancini for Pellegrini but I will try and be objective about his ability.

Granada 1 - 0 Malaga

Why don't you just list every game that he has ever lost?

Not enough space ,

But he hasnt galvanised the team to a top 4 position this season which has dropped away.

To keep you happy heres another
Valencia 5-1 Malaga

We won the league 12 months ahead of schedule!

And I was delighted when we did. That doesn't necessarily Bobby got the best out of his squad, though, our inconsistent form in the second-half of last season would suggest as much.

There is only a few mangers out there who could do better than Mancini, Pellegrini isn't one of them he will be a down grade and big mistake in my opinion

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm not really trying to convince you otherwise.

So? He was the right fit for that side at that time.

You should save it for someone who is a Pellegrini advocate: I'm not but I do recognise that Malaga have their own problems at the moment.

Yeah, I'm not sold on Pellegrini. He was down to 10 at 20', but you'd hope never to be on the losing end of 6-2 regardless. His teams sometimes defend clumsily.

Then again, we got smoked 0-3 at home by Arse when Boyata got sent off and had to play with 10.

I trust Txiki.[/quote]

Why do you trust Txiki ?

Give me a list of his successful managerial appointments who have gone on to find success with a team not containing Messi ?

Frank Rijkaard?

Pep built a team around his best player too. Something Mancini is yet to do with ours.

Thats because Sinclair never plays ...

 

[The Future's Blue]

With Rasher Chops going, surely we are in a strong position with our current set up?

True and they were robbed by Brushia, hes a very good manager, but certainly not an upgrade option for us.
