I think two successive 5th placed finishes with Leicester when you compare their budget to teams around them is impressive on paper. The end of season collapses however are a consistent theme and produce doubts. They've had a poor start to this season too, so the next couple of years are big for rodgers if he wants the City job. He can't fall away with Leicester.

I'm over seventy years old and Johnny Crossan was City captain when I first stood in the Kippax but...
If Brenda became our manager I would lose 99% of my interest in City and go back to fully supporting Bath City at Twerton Park.

Can the end of season collapses be attributed to a lack of squad depth compared with the other CL contenders ? Injuries and fatigue, mental as well as physical take their toll. If points to pounds spent ratio was the criterion to judge a manager’s worth he’d certainly fare well in comparison with the managers of the “big 6”I think two successive 5th placed finishes with Leicester when you compare their budget to teams around them is impressive on paper.

It’s a moot point for me really as I intensely dislike the little weasel and would hate to see him at City
That’s a fair point about squad depth and likely part of it. I get the thinking behind Rodgers but as others have said there’s a lot of pellegrini about itCan the end of season collapses be attributed to a lack of squad depth compared with the other CL contenders ?

Do I not like thatI would prefer Peter Cushing or Graham Taylor to be honest!
I think the engrained style of play through the club means whoever comes in will fit that mould, bit like when Enrique replaced Pep at Barca. The team just kept going.
I therefore think it will likely be someone from within the club, more so if academy boys have become first team starters. Who though, I’ve no idea, but a vinny fern combo wouldn’t surprise me.

Fucking hope not!They have a next manager thread on the caf and a few have put mancini down.
I don't think he would go there
Yeah it would certainly put a spanner in the works for all those who claim he’s one of us or that he gets us etc.Fucking hope not!
FWIW I don’t believe he’d go anywhere near the rat bastards.
