I think Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Monarch and Jet 2 all fly direct from Malaga into MAN - unless we have chartered a flight to bring him in in style. I guess you can rule out Ryan Air if he wants to bring his clothes with him.

Lmfao

Not a cat in hell's chance we've got to this stage in proceedings to go 'we offer you £2m a year' and him go 'but I want £10m'. This will have been verbally discussed and presumably principally agreed months and months ago. Who knows, there may be some haggle on a bonus or get out clause or whatever, but I can't see it being more than that.

Relax. This is surely a done deal.

Its entirely possible that there is in fact NO delay whatsoever, and this is exactly the timetable we were running to all along.

Funny you should mention Wenger - was talking to a friend here in Paris last night who was saying that actually what QSI want is Wenger as DoF rather than manager. I can see that being the perfect semi retirement gig for him!

All will become clearer for PSG next week when the results of their appeal against Leonardo's 9 month ban are in. If it's upheld, the shit will hit the fan, and I suspect he'll get sacked. Which will mean QSI will have no manager and no DoF.

Interesting times with Monaco building a formidable team.

Can imagine that the DoF role in a year's time would be right up Wenger's street. Interesting times for PSG, though. Although even if they're in something of a state of flux this year, I reckon they'll still win the French league (I suspect Monaco's team, whoever they end up with at their club). At any rate, both they and Monaco should be set for regular CL last 16 or last 8 appearances in the years to come, I suspect.

I'd have thought that Pellegrini has more of a cultural affinity for our project, but I suppose a huge financial offer could tempt him away. Hope not - after researching him, I was getting quite excited about the qualities he may bring to the Etihad. :)

Incidentally, oddschecker suggests that Laurent Blanc is now the favourite for PSG but Twitter last night had him strongly rumoured to have done a deal with Real Sociedad. And the English bookies have a certain Signor Mancini as the next favourite for the Parc des Princes. I can imagine you'd be simply enraptured by such a turn of events! :)

Good to see you back on the forum petrusha, by the way. I reckon signor Mancini will end up at Roma.

If MP is being greedy, then lets get Laudrop

Cheers, mate. Roma is where I'd put my money, too.

Very good call!

Yeah Blanc is the obvious candidate over here but I'm not sure QSI are going to go down that route unless it's a last resort.

Mancini has zero chance of getting that job. You can take that to the bank. :)
