Brendan Rodgers is the shock name in the frame to replace Roberto Mancini as Manchester City manager, writes the Sunday People.
The Liverpool boss has significant behind-the-scenes support at the Etihad despite a hit-and-miss first season at Anfield.
The Blues power-brokers believe the 40-year-old Irishman fulfils all the criteria they deem essential – like a willingness to blood young players early, media skills, and European experience – and the ace in his pack is that he is fluent in both English and Spanish.
Rodgers was City’s first choice a year ago when he was at Swansea and Mancini was on the ropes – before the dramatic turnaround that saw his side crowned Premier League champions.
Now the Irishman is back on City radar, with Mancini not safe even if he wins the FA Cup next month.
Rodgers has two years left on his Liverpool contract so City would have to pay compensation – but that won’t deter them.
Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is also a live contender for the City post – sources close to the Spaniard say he is desperate for the job.
But it’s the pursuit of Rodgers, just a year into his Liverpool career, that will raise most eyebrows.

ROBERTO MANCINI will be Manchester City’s manager next season — even if they lose the FA Cup final.
Speculation is rife the Italian could be axed after a disappointing defence of the Premier League title.
But SunSport understands Mancini has the full support of new City chief executive Ferran Soriano and sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
The trio have already been making plans for next season to significantly strengthen the squad in a bid to get the title back from rivals United.
Most importantly, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubaraak still backs the man he chose to replace Mark Hughes in December 2009.
Victory for City against Wigan at Wembley on May 11 would be Mancini’s third trophy in three seasons with two FA Cups and last season’s title.
In the wake of that title triumph last May, Mancini was given a new five-year deal.
Some saw the arrival of former Barcelona executives Soriano and Begiristain as putting pressure on Mancini.
But he has a better relationship with them than with previous chief exec Garry Cook and football administrator Brian Marwood.
