Soriano and Begiristain what do we want?

[WyongBlue]

I want them to help to turn this club into a major force in Euorpean and Domestic football. I want to be in a position where other clubs look at the Man City model and say, 'That's how it should be done'
I want a Youth Academy that is the envy of the world and I want every promising young footballer to grow up dreaming of playing for Man City.
I want us to beat Barcelona in the CL final by outclassing them at their own game.
I want us to win trophy after trophy until everyone is fucking sick to the back teeth of us. That'll do for starters.

Brilliant could'nt agree more

Probably not on Ferran and Txiki's job descriptions (or within their control) but bin any plans for a stadium expansion until we can get behind the team and manager for 90 minutes without the need for an "atmosphere project"

Fully agree with the points made developing the best young players in the world through the Academy.

This started promising until it turned once more into a 'Sack the Manager' thread.

I'm getting to the point where I want Mancini to stay just so he p*sses certain posters off, even more than he does now. It'll also mean we're still winning things.

If he does get sacked though, I'll be on the new manager like a tramp on chips if he doesn't win every game or the CL in his first year. Then, I'll blame the board and ask for their head on a plate because my chips were cold, just for the sake of it.

Forza Man City.

I'll tell what will be funny if Mourinho does come here, and that'll be watching all his detractors squirm with embarassment as he delivers trophy after trophy. Didsbury Dave probably has a little black book with all your names in it ;).

What makes his post even odder is that the vast majority of this thread is about the playing staff.

Some posters get upset at any criticism of the manager but 'twas ever thus. It was just the same with Hughes.

I couldn't care less to be honest. You learn who is worth talking to over time.

How about a massive indoor heated beach/seaside wave machine thingy setup for the players from warmer climates. That'll stop em feckin off to Madrid and Barca.

This is a simple question.

Success, on and off the field to rival Europe's elite. We need household names for commercial revenue gain and we need a top manager to steer the way to the top. Getting passed group stages should be a prerequisite of the job, not a mammoth task. We will play a uniform playing style from kids to starting eleven (4-3-3). We will need to ensure kids are taught well but also retain them, no good bringing them up and them plying trade elsewhere, we need them to bleed blue (not always possible but a kid with loyalty is a huge asset).

First and foremost they will want to right wrongs. This will start with culling overpaid fringe-players and first-team players who don't quite cut the mustard. We will have an eleven as good as anyone's and a bench capable of changing games and youth more than able to step up.

FFP will be adhered to, as much for good PR than anything else, I don't suppose HRH Mansour will protest too much being as he's an accomplished businessman.

Finally what I hope the owners want more than anything else is to make things to Mae sure that City doesn't lose its core values. Fans mean everything to clubs, I hope genuine fans who earn modest incomes aren't priced out, for me that's as big a travesty as losing Silva and Aguero on the same day to United. Players come and go but fans remain, the future should ALWAYS be based around them.

What won't be funny will be when he doesn't come here and we move onto the next potential manager who will deliver trophy after trophy. Guardiola was the last one wasn't he? That's why we brought Soriano and Begiristain in, afterall.

I picture Jim Bowen on Phoenix Night's talking to Brian Potter. "All under one roof Brian, that's the future!".

 

[mscenterh750]

I want them to make us a juggernaut in domestic football (smashing anything that gets in the way), a typhoon in european football (blowing all comers to different parts of europe), a tidal wave in world football (washing away every fucker else) and assassins in the transfer market (popping off targets early and quietly). I want the fucking lot and don't care how its done !. I would like a lift putting in though so I don't have to walk to level 3 anymore. Ta tiki and ferris.x.

About double the size of the eden project should do it.
