Pellegrini is the new manager (Malaga Newspaper reports) 4.

[Ducado]

I'm sure he'll be coming to city.

However. ...

...if he does turn us down we simply must sack the Spanish duo. To sack the premier league's best manager (after Ferguson resigned) without making 100% certain of a replacement is surely cause for summary dismissal.

The only thing to do then would be to crawl back to Bobby on bended knee, offer to double his salary, and beg him to come back.

Ha ha

crawl back to Bobby on bended knee

Physically challenging combination.

@ChristianMcr: Manuel Pellegrini yesterday did a presentation at an International Football Congress in Malaga, talking about his football philosophy.
Addressing 900 coaches for over an hour, Pellegrini used video footage from Malaga's matches against Porto & Dortmund to explain tactics...
@ChristianMcr: ...and he also emphasised, how important psychology is in getting the best out of his players. <a class="postlink" href="http://t.co/WZlGN1t7kI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://t.co/WZlGN1t7kI</a>
Also the ballbag that is Sky's Gary Cotterill was there .

Yesterday did 1 hour presentation @ Football International Conference in Malaga to 900 coaches.

Impressive stuff.

Would love to have Pellegrini @ City.

Hopefully salary resolved & announced early next week, with Isco.

Any news on who his backroom staff will be? Hope Brian Kidd still has a role to play.

In hindsight we shouldn't have sacked Mancini until Pele was 100% done. However Mancini's outspoken attack on senior executives at the club forced our hand.

Why is everyone panicking because one poster on here heard a rumour? Type pellegrini in to google news and you will see all the articles saying its a done deal. Even in the interview he did he more or less confirmed it. Stop getting worked up.

As always with us things always seem to take an age to sort out.

It should be done by now but isn't. Why?

Our season finished a while back which is making you think like this. But the Spanish season finished just LAST week and he's had commercial events to attend and a holiday to go on.<br /><br />-- Sat Jun 08, 2013 9:39 am --<br /><br />I can understand him for asking for a big wage. This will likely be his last job before retirement and I reckon he'll want a good bit of money in retirement. Doesn't bother me, pay the man, he'll be the one bringing the trophies in so pay him accordingly.

I guess those in charge figured all the negative press speculation would've marred the NYCFC announcement. Sounds like a lot of work went into it and they didn't want some dozy Sky journo askin... "are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?, are ya gonna sack him?,"

it is 99% done ... the 1% being a formal appointment and announcement due to happen in the next 2-4 days...

No need to really flap about "if Pellegrini is coming to City"...

Acquiring and confirming Pelle was the highest priority before any player for City, but due to other commitments such as this conference, finalising backroom etc, and then the Mourinho fireworks last week, it had been pushed to early next week...

Not even sweating on who our next coach is... we should realise by now our Execs do not do things fanfare and Chelsea style... out in the open for anyone to see ... they try to go about their works privately and professionally (just like Pellegrini likes to as well)

Because it would not be Bluemoon without all the moaners flappers and whingers
