Leif 6,006 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Who would I rather manage City - A manager who failed at Madrid (in a way) and has an Intertoto Cup, Copa Chile, Argentinian league title from over a decade ago and a league title with a team from Ecuador, or - A manager with numerous Coppa Italia's, numerous Serie A titles and a Premier League title, numerous Supercoppa's, a Community Shield and an F.A. Cup?Manchester City's players are underachievers and the weak ones, not Mancini. Mancini was and is a great manager. Pellegrini is in no way shape or form an upgrade just because he got 2 teams to surprise positions in Europa/the league.I don't see Mancini leaving being a bad thing for us at all.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Shame. City might actually be a threat now next season.If Benitez goes there... And apparently, Mancini will receive £28m as compensation from City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If Manchester City get Pellegrini they're getting a mid-table specialist. Manchester United just hired a mid-table 'specialist', yet despite having talented teams he's failed to win a single trophy (with Everton).If we get Mourinho the league is ours.

Leif 6,006 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Could see them getting Frank de Boer actually. City want to get their youth in the team more (apparently) while still staying somewhat successful. He'd probably be the best candidate for that.

Heisenberg 1,824 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 LOL, midtable specialist. Malaga would of beaten Chelsea this season. He took Malaga, even with financial obstacles to decent positions in La Liga. First, starting by LOL is for me not intelligent at all, and he was right, midtable team yeah, to lose four one against a second division team when you are Real Madrid is ...crazy, and to be beaten by a weak Lyon is also a scandal.Secondly, even QPR won against us, this is a transitional season my friend, you dont expect much, and surely not consistency.

Tomo 21,751 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Typical English media harping on about Pellegrini being average, see it's this type of short sighted mentality is why the media in this country get pelters all the time.Pellegrini is a superb manager, very clever and well respected amongst managers around the world. Listen to the English media and they will have you believe he has just come out of kids coaching.Absolute toss pots, honestly.True, Martin Samuel made a article the other day completely slating Pellegrini while praising Moyes to the hilt, made me cringe. He also said how Curbishley and Big Sam is proof that English managers don't get fair cracks at top jobs, but conviently missed out not only the pigs ear Sam made at NUFC but also the fact Roy got a big chance at Liverpool and nearly relegated them.

Joe Cool 388 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 On a more serious note, it'll be scary to see what a proper manager (Pellegrini) will do with a squad like City's. Even with Mancini's evident lack of managerial ability, they still managed to win the league last season, albeit through goal difference (which is still an utter joke if you ask me). Chances are, they'll be really scary next season, especially if they strengthen the squad (AKA get rid of tripe like Barry), but we'll just have to see.
