Mancini/Pellegrini rumours (10/05/13) (cont)

Re: Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

Everybody should calm down a bit here. This is a translation of part of Balague's story:

The agreement with the current coach of Malaga was recently reached, after Txiki Begiristain received carte blanche from the owner of the English club, Sulaiman Al-Fahim, to close the deal with the Chilean coach, with whom he met in Spain, by the technical agent, Jesus Martinez.

Suleiman Al-Fahim has not been associated with our club for many years. The one verifiable "fact" in that story is clearly preposterous. Why believe the rest of the story?

He has now changed the story to refer to "Mansour" (after I tweeted him to say that Al-Fahim was no longer involved). If Bert goes, it will be because he has resigned.

Mancini wasn't get your facts right.

I take it you've never encountered irony before.

Sorry too many beers and pissed off with this shit.

Fear not Blue, we will be Champions this time tomorrow. Night :)

Re: Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

I love Bobby too pieces and his trophy record is brilliant but for the owners to make us a worthwhile investment we have to be the best there is and that means make it on the European stage and Bobby has failed now 5 times. 3 with inter Milan and twice with us.

The year after he left inter Mourinho won the treble with virtually the same side Mancini had. He's a good manager but not a great one. Will always be a City legend and an idol of mine but we've gone as far as we can in my opinion and barring this cup run (a easy cup run bar Chelsea) this season has been pathetic and I can see where the owners are coming from.

Also those saying the sheikh should fuck off? Get some sleep as you sound pathetic. Football is a ruthless game and they have put enough money into our club to decide what they think is best. They came and rescued us from being a shite side for the foreseeable future, I didn't see Mancini running to our savour when we have willo flood and Sibierski running around.

This season has not been pathetic, second in league and potential FA Cup winners is not pathetic, fucking grow up RAG.

Grow up? Do you think the owners are happy sitting back and watching us finish double figure points behind the worst united side they have had for ten years dispite throwing endless amounts of money into the club?

We got knocked out of the league cup at home to Aston Villa.... Not Chelsea... Liverpool...united...spurs etc Aston Villa!

Champions league was disastrous and did us no favours. Failing to even beat Ajax the so called whipping boys of the group just doesn't sit well with me never mind the blokes who are dishing the cash out.

And rag? Don't think so fella I will be there inside wembley tomorrow supporting the boys but if you can't handle a decent debate then more fool you. If everyone's opinions were the same then the world would be shite!

Jim Tolmie, did you read my fucking post you ****? The average Blumooner is not going to click on page 200 of the Pelligrini thread. The whole purpose of starting a new thread was to draw attention to the startling new developments and make fans aware of the situation, and then the club aware of our take on it.

I bet you're an auditor or an accountant or something.

I don't think JT is the ****........

Im rather midtable and shit, than this rumour to be true. i felt more proud being a city fan and finish 10th than whats happening to our manager. because how this season went.

Re: Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

Mancini's comments.... 'there will be time to talk about all this later'.

it's done.

I don't believe he would walk. I think the Spaniards don't want him, I think the Sheik is concerned about his CL performance and the spikier side of his personality. Maybe the feeling is just that we have has stagnated a touch, become over-regimented in our play, lost a bit of focus. Maybe the feeling is that our top targets are unsure about working for him. Maybe they sense he has become complacent, a bit arrogant. We don't know. Maybe they just want their man in. Doesn't mean it won't be good for us. It's a hard business and a hard life. We'll always look back on the trophies, he will deserve total respect for that... but it shouldn't stop the club from doing what might be right. I am a bit bored of our play, we are pretty but still somehow unexciting. We haven't really kicked on. My sense is that the team is playing very close indeed to the way Bob wants them to, and that has worried me for a while, as it suggests there isn't a lot more to come, when quite clearly we are not as effective as Utd in the league and struggle in Europe. we look too constricted. there has been a drop in motivation at points - maybe now all the rows have burned out we have lost a bit of fire. Maybe Bob's taken us as far as he can 'in this moment'.

Do we know if there have been any major developments with his Dad? Maybe the constant travelling back to Italy every time he gets 5 minutes is taking it's toll?

Re: Manchester City close on Pellegrini (merged)

Some people are seriously overreacting. Trophies aren't won by how long clubs keep their managers. It doesn't mean that it's square 1 once again. If this happens then i think it's most likely because Pellegrini fits Txiki's philosophy better. Tactics etc....with all this talk of 4-3-3 Mancini doesn't seem too keen on.

We are winning trophies every year FFS you argument dont make any sense.
Tixiki shall not give a fuck what tactics of formation we use. Its not his fucking business.
