I agree, I think it would be disrespectful to Tito if they moved on from him.
It should be Tito's decision to leave not Barca's, if that's becomes the situation then maybe Pellegrini will become the option, maybe the reason we look to be moving fast?!
wouldn't be the end of the world as I think there's quite a few good managers to choose from out there but it'd be a devastating blow for our board as they seem to have burnt all bridges with Barcelona.

Pellegrini is so much superior to Tito, it isn't funny. And even though Tito is another "homegrown" manager he just doesn't seem to have many ideas and Barca's intensity has halved since he replaced Pep. He looked out of his depth tactically in the CL and like us at times, relied on individual brilliance (Messi) to bail them out. They did win the league but Real Madrid was imploding for half the season with the usual politics and they have been largely disappointing. So do Barca allow sentimentality and Catalan bias to rule or go for a better coach? Pellegrini would be outstanding at Barca, he would revive the intensity. Guardiola once called him an "exceptional coach".

Could be worse could be Gary Megson.
I would be surprised with Pellegrini going to Barcelona unless they are looking for complete change of direction with their approach. If Vilanova cannot continue through ill health, then surely they would go for Laudrup or someone who knows the set up and club culture.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/10052146/Roberto-Mancini-will-be-sacked-by-Manchester-City-this-week.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... -week.html</a>
As in previous seasons, City had been planning to resolve Mancini’s future with a post-season debriefing in Abu Dhabi. Mancini’s deteriorating relationship has also contributed to the club’s belief that a change is required. However, with doubts over Mancini’s position intensifying following the Cup final, a swift resolution to the situation is anticipated this week, possibly today.
Mancini appeared in no mood to resign, though, when asked about his position. “I don’t need to talk about my future,” Mancini said. “I have a four-year contract. Every contract can be broken, but I don’t think the board need to talk about me.
“I was sacked after seven trophies with Inter after we won three championships and we went to the cup final. But in this case I don’t think I should worry. But this is not for me, it’s for the club.”
Pellegrini last night denied any agreement was in place for him to take over at Manchester City.
"Regarding my future, I have not spoken to anyone. We will wait and see what happens at the end of the season," he said.
"At this moment in time I have no agreement in place not with Manchester City, not with Roma, not with Napoli, not with PSG, not with any of the clubs who have been mentioned."
Asked to explain what assurances he would need from Malaga to stay beyond this summer, he added: "It's too complicated to discuss in a post-match press conference."

To be fair he said that when he was at Villareal. He ended up at Real Madrid shortly after.

So we've sacked a very good successful manager - fair enough. But now we might not even have a replacement ready - you must be joking.
Would Pellegrini turn down Barca for us?

If Mancini is sacked, to a certain extent he'll have dug his own grave. He's clearly not one for taking players under his wing and nurture them (with the bizarre and unashamedly hypocritical exception of Mario), and so by default has classified himself as a "results" manager.
Season without results + inability to win certain away games (Everton, Stoke, Sunderland) = Good reasons for dismissal.
That said, as many have alluded to, we had the chance to really build on last season by investing heavily - and losing deadweights - in the summer. The powers that be didn't sanction such activity, which does make them partially culpable.
A difficult one to call. My heart says give Bobby a transfer warchest and another season. My head says it may be time to get a manager who is a better leader.

If the reports about Mancini's job wasn't safe a couple of months ago then I think we will have one or two left field alternatives as well.
Getting the impression things aren't going how our new directors had planned.
Sounds like Mancini has been playing back me / sack me for quite a few months.
Soriano and Begiristain start lining up options for when the boss decides Mancini's time is up. Mostly old pals - De Beour, Pellegrini, Guardiola.
De Beour says yes. Pellegrini says maybe. Guardiola says maybe, in a couple of years, if the whole Bayern thing doesn't work out.
Meanwhile, Pellegrini and his agent start playing Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona and City off against eachother over last few weeks. City directors then meet Pellegrini's agent to see if he's still interested.
Barcelona then decide to call Pellegrini's bluff on the eve of the cup final and leak the story to Ballague, getting revenge on Soriano in the process.
Question is whether Barcelona really want Pellegrini or they just did it to piss off Soriano when the deal was already done.
If the deal is done would have thought the club or Pellegrini would have said it by now. Still sounds very much up in the air.
Meanwhile Mancini doesn't know what the decision is going to be and takes it out on Kloss who knows even less (not good for a director of communications).
Wonder how long they'll wait before going to plan B.

You're right, he does also mention Curbishley (I briskley read over the final paragraph).
He is another talented English manager, who has been out of work since 2008.

As another poster said on here, There is a, a silver lining of sorts. At least we will be rid of Mr Potato head.
I've no doubt that Platt will be invited (and eager) to resume his old job description on sky... i.e. slagging us of unmercifully at every opportunity (Complete with a big fat compensation cheque, in his pocket)
No reflection on Mancini, but I, for one, will be absolutely delighted when that fat rag twunt is, finally, shown the door.

I'd imagine that's true but it's an ever decreasing pool of talent that can match Mancini.

More drama than 24 or The Sopranos.
cityvet said:Right, there has been all this pressure on Mancini for the last 6 months, all media driven imho. Do you not think it`s all been intensified this weekend cos it was cup final???
Nope, he has been pissing off all of our key people including the players all season and the Cup Final wasn't a one off result.

He was at the helm when we won our first trophy for 35 years. He's the most significant manager I've ever seen at City in my life time and he's about to be sacked. Don't lose sight of that.
