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

[richards30]

So is this being announced today? I really don't get why Pellegrini hasn't been appointed yet?

Might be breaking news today about agreements and dinging tomorrow so the rumors go mate? Depends on how we want to handle the exposure with regards Jose at Chelsea tomorrow as well.

 

[Kompany is King]

Mourinho press conference Monday on SSN.

Will City announce on same day and dilute our press coverage?

English players to lose out in Pellegrini reign as City to usher in 'La Liga era'

Manchester City will unveil their new manager, Manuel Pellegrini, this week to usher in a new ‘La Liga era’ at the club that is unlikely to provide much cheer for their English players.
Pellegrini’s arrival from Malaga has been the worst-kept secret in football since the sacking of Roberto Mancini last month. But his position will finally be confirmed within the next 48 hours, with the Chilean then scheduled to meet the world’s media on Wednesday or Thursday to outline his plans.
His appointment, on a three-year deal worth £15million, will see immediate changes at the Etihad following Mancini’s three-and-a-half-year spell which brought the Premier League and FA Cup trophies, but also plenty of internal strife.

Ruthless: Manuel Pellegrini could implement a team that features very little English talent
Pellegrini has already held detailed talks in Spain with City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain and chief executive Ferran Soriano about how the club is going to progress, and he hopes to add talented midfielder Isco from Malaga following the European Under-21 championship which is taking place in Israel.
City have already spent £55m since the end of last season to sign Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho and World Cup-winning Sevilla winger Jesus Navas as they attempt to wrest the title back from Manchester United.
However, interest in Mancini’s top target, Edinson Cavani of, Napoli, has cooled and City are happy to concede defeat to Chelsea in the fight for his £45m signature.


Targets: City will give up on buying Edinson Cavani, but Isco may follow Pellegrini from Malaga
Crucially, Pellegrini has agreed to follow Begiristain’s Barcelona blueprint, where every City side — from youth team to the first XI — play in the same 4-3-3 formation. However, the prospects for the club’s English players are poor with the arrival of three big-money signings from Spain and Brazil, with goalkeeper Joe Hart likely to be the only Englishman to be a regular starter next season.
Gareth Barry and Jack Rodwell will be squeezed out by the arrival of Isco and Fernandinho, while Joleon Lescott could move on after losing his place to Matija Nastasic.
Micah Richards is regarded as a stand-in for club vice-captain Pablo Zabaleta, and even the versatile James Milner is likely to see his appearances limited, with Pellegrini keen to utilise David Silva, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Navas for his new, fluid system.
Tevez is about to enter the last 12 months of his contract, but potential suitors Juventus would rather wait until he is available on a Bosman next summer before making their move.

Out the door: Joleon Lescott could be one of the casualties as City move to La Liga style
Pellegrini will have to win over the fans quickly after the dismissal of Mancini, who found out about the impending change on the morning of City’s FA Cup final defeat against Wigan.
A former Chilean international, Pellegrini has made his managerial name in Spain with Villarreal, where he managed Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia, and Real Madrid, where he signed Cristiano Ronaldo for a world-record £80m.
Last season, he guided unfashionable Malaga into the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite financial turmoil at the club.
Following on from the hype of Jose Mourinho’s public reappearance in England on Monday, City will be keen to assure their fans the club will not be superseded by Chelsea.
Soriano has already publicly stated he wants to win five major trophies in the next five seasons.

Cheers me dears;;<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 09, 2013 9:37 am --<br /><br />

Milner is better than nasri at the moment.. I would be quicker to bench nasri instead

If city were to sell Milner what clubs would be interested? this will tell you if he is good enough to be classed as a top draw player

And what about an English quota? Milner is quality, you need that type of player in your squad. No good having 11 fancy dans.

Jimmy's my favourite City player..

 

[samharris]

If, as seems likely, Cavani can't be got for sensible money, then we should stick with the current strikers Aguero, Tevez and Dzeko and see what Pellegrini can coach out of them. He has a reputation for getting the best from what he has to work with and that threesome are, potentially, a formidable force.

I'm pleased to see these reports come out yesterday evening

Manuel Pellegrini includes Carlos Tévez in his plans for Manchester City
Edin Dzeko staying at Manchester City as new boss Manuel Pellegrini assesses striker options

I'd be more than happy to see the same strikers here next season with Jesus Navas and Angel Di Maria putting crosses in from the wings. For me, the question is over who would be a suitable fourth striker and there I would favour a young talent, home-grown or bought cheaply, and destined for future stardom.

I am sure that there was a post, may have been in this thread, which was translated from Arabic and said that MP wanted both Edin and Carlos to stay, can anyone else remember it/find it?

I wouldnt complain tbh if Tevez and Dzeko stayed..

Aye, which is why Nasri wouldn't be in our best starting XI next season were we to sign the players linked to us.

Standard Daily Fail sh1 stirring. Big bad Pellegrini is going to get rid of our brave English boys in favour of more foreigners. You can almost hear "Jerusalem" playing in the background as he was writing it.

 

[waspish]

Why are these reporters thick as pig shit don't you think if there was England players good enough we would be playing them or giving them game time?

We all know that ALL the best English players are over the road - don't we??
Smalling , Jones ,Carrick , Wellbeck , Young , Wooney - I can't think of anyone else. -These are the "World Beaters" that are going to win the World Cup for us next year in Brazil.Plus our cream from the U21's (cough , cough). If I were Pellers I wouldn't sign the contract offered by City as City have no chance to succeed with the English papparazzi on his back.............
