At the end of the day, if the club hasn't pushed on and progressed at all, I fully expect Pellers to be sacked.

That may sound harsh and people could argue there are contributing factors like our FFP restrictions but our squad is under performing (Aguero aside), and we haven't kicked on from last year and whilst we still might catch Chelsea in the league our european form has been shit AGAIN!

We need to win the league and the FA cup now to equal last years achievments. If we don't I'm pretty sure Pellers will be shown the door.

As dissapointing our form is right now, you cant win everything every year, its just impossible and to say we need to win the league and fa cup to equal lasts years achievments or he needs the sack is just folly and would quickly make the job of City manager untenable for anyone.

As fans we need to be resonable with expectations we really do.

I think given the investment we should expect to win something every year, not everything. Being in 4 competitions each season it doesn't seem unreasonable with the squad we have (if it was performing as it should) to win one of them (probably not CL yet but title or one of the cups are winnable). Once this FFP bollocks is gone we'll have a good chance of that again I reckon.

If I recall correctly, Pellers brief was 5 trophies in 5 years. Thus far, is he not in credit?
How is he not ? 1 year, 1 PL title.

So - bearing in mind that a quadruple in the fifth year would meet the target - he could still claim to be 'potentially in credit' for another four years.

Deep joy.

He's a tactical charlatan. Flatters to deceive.

I don't think they included the capital one cup but he is on track.

We can't win it every year and some years we won't win anything.

We are however in a really shit run of form, the pressure is on him and he needs to deliver. He did it last year when we were 8th and he needs to do it now. We have conceded 2 goals in 5 of the last 6 games. Even he said he is not happy with the defence. He needs to work on this even if it means compromising up front. We can't expect to score three goals every game and with Dzeko and Jovetic just not doing the business, he can't keep relying on Kun to bail him out.
