City sources said that “no deal” was known of. The AS report was unconvincing – citing “reports in England” that Pellegrini, whose Malaga club are on their uppers financially, was joining City. There has been no great conviction here that the Chilean is replacing the Italian.
The online translation of the AS report also initially cited Sulaiman al-Fahim, a discredited one-time adviser to Sheikh Mansour whose services have been dispensed with, as the owner of City.

When we lifted the FA cup it was Mancini's effort putting that smile on your face - when we lifted the prem it was Mancini's effort that put that joy into your blue hearts yet a lot of you on here are so easy to cast him aside and I, for one, am shocked.
Forza Mancini
You would rather see a club you have supported for over 30 years fall flat on its face, because of your love for any one individual?
I don't know what to say.

Best manager ever? Really?
Yes, without doubt. In the days of Mercer you could lose 10 games a season and still be champions. In fact there were several seasons when as many as 4 or 5 teams (different teams incidentally) could win the league on the final day. Also in 69, after winning the league the year previously, we were only mid table.
If you want to go back to 37, then the following year we were bloody relegated.
In short, this is the most tough league to win and Mancini and his staff have done us proud. Another point to consider here is what would happen to Platt, Kidd and the rest of the backroom staff?
There is no need for a new manager, and those that call for it are rather like the mongs who feel compelled to change their phone every 12 months in some insane belief it will make their phone calls and texts better.
In short, we have the ideal manager to exploit the void of Baconface and with a little luck in the transfer window we will stand a good chance of taking the title again.
If, and I hope not, we are stupid enough to dispense of Mancini, Platt and Kidd and appoint Pellegrini we could struggle to make top 3 next year bearing in mind the strength of Chelsea under Mourinho,Spurs, Arsenal and United, Also Rodgers at Liverpool will be stronger.
All in all, if this proposal was brought to any business minded person on Dragon's Den then it would get a massive 'I'm Out'
Absolute Stupidity demonstrated and circulated as a good idea by morons!
In fact, this has City's version of Spurs Juande Ramos stamped all over it. Fucking Disaster!
