What a surreal half hour!
Strange that it was Pellegrini who was aloud to release his departure and at first I thought he was perhaps going against the club, but now I've read exactly what he said, it appears he has just once again demonstrated his class and charm. I suspect he asked if he could be the one to tell the world regarding his own position and the way he has worded his statement just shows that everbody from a City point of view are in sync with one another.
Can't decide if the timing however will help or hinder us. But one thing for sure is Pellegrini really deserves some appreciation now, hopefully the players will want him to go out on a high and although he has split opinion from a tactical management point of view, as a man and human being, I think he's been truly fantastic, which is rare for a top level football manager these days.
Well done Pellers, lets win a few more trophies together and welcome Pep.
