Still don't see why Pellegrini should even be considered good enough to replace Mancini just because he did well in the CL with some poorer clubs no-one saw coming. Got Real Madrid to the round of 16.. Is that honestly what we'd be hiring? A man who won't win us any trophies, but it's ok because he'll at least get us out of the group stages.. I can understand why that's a priority for management, though players will still always wan't to win trophies, but the fans?
I'll take Mancini and trophies over Pellegrini and quarter finals thank you. At least some of the outers had the sense to want him replacing with someone notably better like Mourinho, who would have brought both.
Still, if it does happen, at least it's not fucking Moyes.
