Pellegrini confirmed

[The Flash]

Nice one.

Welcome Senor Pellegrini!

Let's get Isco confirmed now, too!

Pellegrini could become one of the most beloved City managers ever if he stays a while. Every club he's been at - even Real Madrid - the fans have adored him. Many Real fans hated it when they replaced him with Mourinho. Even though they fell 3pts behind the greatest Barca side of all time, Pellegrini's Real played nice football and played with honour. Mourinho turned them into a really vile team utilising every dark art in football to achieve results, and they lost the respect of many neutrals. And for a top club reputation is important, one of the reasons Real are doing away with Mourinho and you have players saying Mourinho was a blight on Spanish football.

100% Agree. I'm sure that we love Pellegrini.

Just heard his interview on club website. He speaks good English, seems calm and collected and promises good exciting football.

I think he will improve us, particularly in Europe. Here's hoping.

Has anyone popped down to the transfer forum to check that the loons and nutjobs have all got their helmets and straightjackets on?

 

[Petetheblu]

[HolisticJim]

Good spot, I didn't even notice that till you mentioned it! It could very well mean that.

That is impressive - shooting the video what 10 years ago?

Ten years ago? You've lost me.

PELLE PELLE, PELLEGRINI !!
PELLE, PELLE - PELLE PELLE - PELLEGRINI !!

Read laser's post again. He said June 3rd 2013. The video camera is obviously set up with a different date format, reversed, to the UK version (date/month/year).

Why do we need a song? Mancini song was good in first season but sounded tired last season.

A cheesy song for pellegrini will make us sound like a collective bunch of twats!

 

[wayne71]

To be honest mate, he is. Mancini is good but I (along with many others) rank Pellegrini above him.

Well thats you're opinion mate, the facts say otherwise.

You mean your facts. It's all relative. If you take into account the size of the clubs each has managed and the funds spent, Pellegrini's record is better.
I doubt Mancini would have taken Malaga to the qf of the chumps league and very nearly the semis.

Its not relative at all.

 

[bluemathlady]

Wonder what they are talking about here, Kidd checking Manny out, Manny pointing...

 

[Eccles Blue]

I know 24 pages have gone Ric but I just thought I would comment......... do you think it had anything whatsoever to do with my post in the thread this morning where I urged them to do something because they were making us a laughing stock......... *lol*

I wanted to see who I could reel in on that one as a WUM and I got Chester Guy. Thank you Chester Guy you really, really made my day. I've just got home after a fraught afternoon and you made me laugh!! YYYEEESSS I wound someone up.

Sorry Ric, sorry Mods but I have to have something now and again to laugh at, it is out of season after all. Sorry Chester Guy but boy did you take the bait. If you need to slap my wrists I will be back later.

Pellegrinis appointment was only a matter of time , and it's no real surprise that it's finally happened today ..... was just a case of the union of boss and club being 'rubber stamped' ..... we haven't signed two expensive new players without Pellegrinis approval and say so , and he's obviously the chosen target of the ex-Barca twosome who are currently running things behind the scenes.

Pellegrini has got tough targets to meet here , and good luck to him in meeting them .... Mancini , despite the player unrest rumours , didn't do badly here , and he'll be a tough act to follow.
