The battle for 4th place

I think this season's disappointment has put Mancini's tenure in a little more context, and for me, I'm struggling to see much improvement on the pitch, and the seeming mutiny behind the scenes has now been replaced by sheer apathy. I'm not sure which is better - players who shout and moan about the manager, or ones that just can't be bothered!

It will be a blessed relief if we manage to secure top 4. If we don't - it'll certainly tarnish Pellegrini's tenure.

This season should have so much more... new stand and some big name signings should have been the perfect foundation for stepping up to the next level. A missed opportunity by anybody's reckoning.
 
Everytime they mention Leicester and Champions - I hope Pellegrini feels ashamed, or at least a little uncomfortable - poor tactics, poor selection, lack of motivation, I could go on and on and on, still on the bright side only 8 more days to go and counting !!
 
Someone earlier asked why West Ham v United is on Tuesday. Sky have two matches to fit in that were rearranged from some time back due to cup ties and are showing the first this Tuesday (as United and West Ham both played today) and Liverpool v Chelsea on Wednesday (as Liverpool play tomorrow due to being in the Europa last Thursday).

I think they'd rather have top4 though don't you? Plus you can have more than one cup final... #usual player soundbite "every game is like a cup final from now till the end of the season".
 
Pellergrini was brought in to steady the ship after the fallout from Bobby being manager. We as fans looking in from the outside can only speculate on what we think decisions are made on, unless we have inside knowledge from within.

For me we wanted Pep 3 years ago but he decided that that was not at the right time in his managerial career. He may of at that time informed txiki or whoever that he would take charge after he next club job finishes. So the club have to hire someone who they think will bring stability and hopefully trophies keeping us challenging.

Have we as a club within that 3 years pushed on in terms of player recruitment etc....the answer is no. We have brought players in but some have failed to impress. It was not the look of providing a new look team, just adding to what was considered a core group of first team players.

The club were never going to allow Pellegrini to make wholesale changes to the first team, he was probably informed to get on with what he already had, bar a few signings to inject new blood.

Hmmm Mangala 35 Mil, otomendi 35 Mil, Sterling 40 Mil, KDB 54 Mil not bad for "few signings"

True, but I am not talking about money, I am talking re-building a squad, something Pellegrini has not done in the time he has been here. And to be honest Sterling and KDB are not his signings at all, they have been purchased for Pep to utilise

Just my opinion
