David Platt leaves Man City

This just in: Manchester City assistant manager David Platt has joined Roberto Mancini in leaving the club. A statement on City's website reads:

"With regret Manchester City announce that David Platt has this afternoon left his role as Assistant Manager at the Club.

"David was offered the opportunity to continue his work with us but has declined the invitation. He has decided to leave his role with his close friend Roberto Mancini.

"David has made fuck all contribution to the Club's success since joining in 2010 and we wish him well with his career wherever that now takes him."

I wont miss the irritating amount off time substitutions took, seriously was there any other side that took as long as us to make a substitutue even if we were down to 10 men.

Perfect. In addition to being a boring prick who hated City this was his worst trait.

It took such a long time because they had to try and understand his writing on those scraps of paper he insisted on showing them every time.

I think he always had a chip on his shoulder

i'd rather have the other david platt as first team coach than mancini's side kick.
