[Le Havre Oswald]

rodney marsh on talksport now talking about us again
said again bobby for the chop


he must be taking the piss saying yaya is going this summer!

when did he say the yaya bit.

a couple of minutes ago
says yaya and dzeko and mancini out this summer.either pissed or just stirring.i mentioned it because a few pages back a ex player with inside info said pelligrini deal done and i suggested him and then he is on saying this stuff

oh ok. I remember last summer he said we where going to sign someone that will "Rock football" hes a bullshitter.

 

[waspish]

So YAYA going to Spain so says Marsh well 40m will be the fee

i dont understand why someone would even phone him to make the yaya comments i doubt we'd even listen to offers on yaya but they've sold him once before to the highest bidder..

pellegrini basically said after the game today that his future with malaga next year is 'unknown' and that Malaga's chances of a ChLg place were not real once they sold Monreal: symbolic of failure to compete economically

Check out the Soccernet web site - Bobby has a few strong words to say about the British press.

He reckons that every manager in the EPL should be sacked apart from Baconface and Laudrap - they are the only two to have won something!

It won't make a difference if Malaga make Europe.

From Wiki:

Málaga is excluded from participating in any UEFA club competition for its next qualifying season of the next four seasons. Málaga has appealed against this UEFA ban and the final decision will take place on 4 June.

It does worry me with Pellegrini stories getting hotter by the day, FORZA Mancini for me!

What more can bobby do to win some of the city faithful over, Europe will come eventually just takes time and luck.

and that Malaga's chances of a ChLg place were not real once they sold Monreal: symbolic of failure to compete economically

They were largely doomed before that:

Cazorla sold to Arsenal for £16million, replaced by no one until Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea in January.

Rondon (top scorer) sold to Rubin Kazan for £8million, replaced by Roque Santa Cruz on loan (enough said).

Monreal sold to Arsenal for £9million, replaced by Vitorino Antunes on loan from Pacos de Ferreira.

van Nistelrooy retired, replaced by Saviola (free transfer).

Amount spent on transfers going into their first ever Champions League campaign where they nearly made the last 4: £0 (+£36.6m net profit)

Pellegrini has done a remarkable job with a squad that is probably weaker than Newcastle's in all honesty. People demean him (like pointing out bad results without even watching the game or understanding Malaga's crazy situation with an asset stripped squad and players not being paid) because they feel Mancini's spot is threatened by him.

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

Just been watching Bobbys interview on the OS after last nights game...

He looks a bit down in the dumps....


I really hope he gets another season, he deserves it..

 

[cmdub]

LC im right there with you and they should feel threatened cause it looks like Pellegrini is going to be available and it seems we've made inquiries. But yea I mean they're owner Sheikh Al-Thani has done just such a terrible job with the club since he purchased it its really depressing. They obviously weren't getting in next year because of the unpaid debts but its more of Pellegrini trying to make a point in regards to them selling all their best players.

Glad somebody highlights it , they're broke . As i previously mentioned ; he has already told his players that he will leave Malaga at the end of the season . It may be one of the factors that players have lost the desire , due to the fact that neither money or playing for Malaga is the motivating factor for most of the players , but playing under Pellegrini is and Malaga faithfuls know that.

Would be amazed , if they somehow manages to win against Sevilla.
