pellegrini

[Superbia]

i look forward to looking back on this thread in a years time and seeing everyones opinion changed on pellegrini as he guides us by the group stages of the CL.

[Mark Garrett]

Soriano and Bergirstain out. Khaldoon grow some balls. Fergie retiring and we shoot ourselves in the foot potentially. If owners sanction this, fuckin take your shit statements we dont want to be like Chelsea and stick them up your arse. Embarassing.

Mancini is a legend, fuck off you Spanish pair of idiots

You are living in fantasy land. After what RM has done he deserves another season at CL. The guy deserves better

European Honours

Pelligrini, 59 - Intertoto Cup

Mancini, 48 - 1 FA Cup (possibly 2 by tomorrow), 1 Premier League, 3 Scudettos, 4 Coppa Italias, 2 Supercoppa Italiana, 1 Community Shield (again, possibly 2 in a few months ;)

Thank you and fuck off all who want Mancini to be replaced by Pelligrini

Only Jose replacing Bobby can maybe justified, I can't see beyond that. Bobby won't leave himself unless he's been offered the Italian National job to take them to the World Cup.

Some espn reporter calling it musical chairs.

"Let's play musical chairs: Pellegrini to City, Mancini to PSG, Ancelotti to Real Madrid, Mourinho to Chelsea, Benitez to Malaga."

[phips]

i dont care either way.

mancini is sorely lacking in many ways and areas. but then again, so is pelligrini.

In what ways and areas are both men lacking?

[carl_feedthegoat]

This is not good news if true.
If we are to replace him then it better be for someone that has been there, seen it and done it.........the timing stinks no matter how true it is.

Not good and City need to make a statement tomorrow morning if its bollocks.

Here is what Balague has written in AS:

Pellegrini will be the next coach of Manchester City .That was assured yesterday in England, the day before the FA Cup final between the citizen and the Wigan team of Roberto Martinez.

"The agreement with the current coach of Malaga was recently reached, after Txiki Begiristain received carte blanche from the owner of the English club, [highlight]Sulaiman Al-Fahim[/highlight], to close the deal with the Chilean coach."

Bullllllllllllllllllllllllllsit non-story

[xavi6]

I'll hold fire until it comes from a more credible source than Balague, the man who said that Pep wasn't going to Bayern the day before he did.

Part of me feels it's typical shit stirring ahead of the cup final but another part thinks there could be some truth in it.

Pellegrini is an excellent manager in his own right, has done superb with Malaga as well as other clubs before that so people shouldn't be bemoaning his CV.

However, I don't want Mancini sacked considering what has been achieved over the past three and a half years.

[Swales4ever]

I placed a bet on De Boer, can't recall the odds though.

Yawn

LOL. I actually e-mailed one of the Spanish papers about a year ago as they kept saying that idiot was our owner. It worked for a week or 2.

Can't people see this is just a RAG story put around before the cup final?

Isn't Isco's agent the same as Pelegrini's?

Correct.

In the heat of the moment, during a particularly crap performance c/w bizarre tactics and subs, I've wanted Mancini out, but this feels awfully premature. A third trophy in three years this afternoon/evening should have guaranteed Roberto at least one more year - assuming he would want to stay. And, again assuming this is true, I hope Pellegrini can take us to the next level. It will feel odd having this stranger as City manager, though.

[london blue 2]

I thought our owners were better than this (assuming the rumour is true), I will be very disappointed if the most successful manager in England over the last few years is given the boot.

[Blue in North London]

Maybe Roberto wants to leave. He has looked weary and fed up for quite a while. If he does leave, I will be gutted as he has given us some great times.

[Green & Blue]

I take it this is bullshit, just a lame attempt by the rag media machine to derail the club ahead of the cup final.I would be very surprised if City had intentions to replace Mancini.

[Bleed_Blue]

"Mancini is a champion" and nothing about we trust in him, he is our long term manager, was the comment from Soriano (fuck cant spell name) a few months, now that I look back its like a statement you give to console someone you sack.

There should be some truth if all the papers are publishing the same thing, and nobody from city is denying it. I would really be pissed if these rumors are true and Tixi, Soriano, Khaldoon no one is atleast trying to squash these rumors. They should how much useless pressure these rumors bring onto Mancini in each match, who knows Guardiola, Mourinho, these rumors were the reason for us loosing the season.

I hate booing Pellagrini, since there is nothing we can do I would hope its for the good.
