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

[sam-caddick]

I think they'll go for after mourinho announced so as to not let them overshadow it

It's the wost kept secret that Manuel is manager though.

Mourinho has his presser tomorrow, we could still announce Pellegrini as manager as we will hold the presser later in the week if it is done this way.

Is Manuel the new Michael Johnson? ;)

"2 more weeks..."

 

[Matt the Giant]

So... today we'll hear something right? Some sort of confirmation?

I'm pretty certain the driving factor behind announcing our new manager is based on contracts being agreed rather than a PR exercise.

So goal.com expected him in Manchester today.

OK.

Does anyone know if he is or isn't ?
Why would he be anyway ?
I'm sure negotiations don't need to be done in Manchester, maybe he is in London since we have significant offices there.

I'm still completely unworried about it all, he will be named as first team coach shortly, there is no need for any flapping.

Lots of Blue Mooners were giving goal.com some nice feedback over their recent positive stories,but I always had and still have my doubts about anything tomorrow.
Just think that we want maximum worldwide exposure and not a good day to do it on Joses "day" as thats all you`ll get to fucking hear tomorrow.
For me Wednesday,as Sky will still be fucking drooling over Jose on Tuesday.
That old song "Our Day Will Come" certainly springs to mind.Roll on Wednesday with a fucking load of chairs needed for the Great Unveiling on Thursday.

If I was City, I'd announce tomorrow with a "club statement" on the website about 9pm, with very minimum fuss or words.

Then later this week or even next week, have a press conference, with him, and 4 or 5 significant new signings, and make a really BIG statement to the media and the rest of world football.

Lets run our own agenda, not theirs.

Bang on the fucking money.

Stuart Brennan in todays MEN also saying he will be announced in the next couple of days

I'd imagine the rag press will still be too angry about Pellegrini losing the England team the next world cup by selling all our English players to report that he is here. Pellegrini - ruining English football since Moyes went to the rags.
