I can't see him paying the 4m when he's already said he would stay if it was not the situation Malaga are in.

If they are waving the release clause, it will be to reduce the wage bill or out of courtesy for what he has done for the club.

Graham Hunter was on Talksport last night and spoke very well on the subject of Pellegrini and seemed genuinely frustrated by the way some people have dismissed him as a manager who has achieved nothing.

Well worth a listen.

That was a quality listen Hunter seemed really annoyed about some of the crap spouted about Pellegrini and definetly rates him thanks for posting it Ross.

Paul breen-turner who is a Spanish correspondent cannot praise Pellegrini enough and thinks the uk press are not knowledgeable enough.

I have heard a hell of a lot in recent days and nothing has said stay away from him. I dont see anything better available, so he has my vote.

I've been watching / listening to Hunter for about 10 years ago and he is someone who I have a tremendous respect for. I do not think I have ever heard him sound that pissed off.

Pretty much my feelings as well, did not want a change but it has happened. The only alternative candidate would ensure a circus comes with him and would fall out with the off pitch team quicker than Mancini did. He seems the logical and best choice.

He should have everybody's vote mate, it's that assured.

Anyone will have my support, as Beefy rightly emphasizes.

But none will be our actual manager: so does he/she/it really, matters?

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...

Some of the things in the British press have been on a par with 'Arsene who?' and 'Two of the best players in the world, and Xavi'.

From the bits I've read or heard from people who've done more than checked Wikipedia, they all think he's a great coach. His lack of a trophy, even a Copa del Rey, does concern me, but wherever he goes, I think someone will get a great coach.

I moved on several hours before BBS started his thread, so, as a genuine Blue, I swapped to a nick more apt and accorded to our very Vichian attitude to reverse back to turmoil.

My initial thoughts on hearing we were ditching Mancini for this guy were WTF. But on swatting-up on him I have to say I can see more clearly that the club is heading in a direction that I am pleased to follow (like I have a choice, anyhow).

Theres some utter spastics on this site that are just as clueless as the press when it comes down to knowledge!!

I knew little about him but then I do my fucking homework !

And thats the intelligent thing to do mate , read up on him and see quotes from players and the like , Pellegrini is held in high esteem.

I still think he is a poor gamble because of his age and lack of trophies on the major stage. If a manager is unproven I want to see an upside in terms of potential development and longevity in the post. That said, I have read enough to make me hopeful he can do a decent job - I am mildly underwhelmed rather than vehemently against.

Not taking a shot at you, but what is the issue with age? Depending on when his birthday is, he will either be 59 or 60...SAF went until he was 71 and he probably could've done another season....
