Re: Manuell Pellegrini - When?

1st July, 5 year deal, 8m a year

Is it just a verbal agreement at the moment?

Pellegrini is a coach. He will make some requests but will generally be happy to work with the players he has with minimal fuss, and will do his best to get the most out of them. He doesn't crave the power and control that managers such as Mourinho and Mancini do. Holistic, etc.

You've mentioned 3 people, one of them hasn't won a single major trophy. Which appears to be the better way?

Ask the club - they appointed him, just like the same men appointed Rijkaard and Guardiola, both of whom had won even less than Pellegrini.

Also, the Argentine Primera Division Title (which he won with two clubs) could easily be considered a major trophy. The Argentine league is very popular and competitive.

Agreed.

La Liga is difficult. Put City up against Barca every year, and we'd likely have won nothing in the last 3 years.

Might not be. HP knows his stuff.

Probably early June will be when we announce our new manager.

If Jose has accepted the Chelsea job I would expect them to announce it ASAP ending any small doubt that MP will become our new manager.

I think it may create doubt. Real will need a new manager and I'd be surprised if MP was not a contender.

Why do you think MU acted quick to appoint Moyes knowing RM were going to be looking for a new manager :-)</Sarcasm>,

His record in European competition at Villareal and Malaga is very good. At Villareal he did what Moyes could not do at Everton and that's qualify for the CL proper, and he did it repeatedly

That's a bit daft as we'll never know but I could be equally as daft and say Chelsea knocked Barca out of the CL and we comfortably beat them on our way to winning the league.
