Manuel Pellegrini

[goat]

true, but when you say it for a load of journos and tv types it looks a lot more shit than telling your mates down the pub and hes won everything there is already with barca


he is the manic street preachers of managers

[Swiss]

As long as he's not the Morrissey of managers I'll be happy!

[goat]

he would look flash with flowers up his arse on the touchline

[nimrod]

If the best argument for him staying is stability then you know you have a shit case. Get rid, yesterday.

Yeah Trev

I think we need someone who can build a defence, as, besides the 'cant be arsed to run' players, its this that lets us down, my choice would be Ancelloti or even Rafa (tin hat on)

I agree with goat, we dont really know how good Pep is...massive risk

The only risk I see with Pep is the questions over why he quit Barce. I like how he sets his teams out to press high and for 90 minutes, how he likes a passing game with high intensity and that he's also as big a name in management as Moanrinho & Fergie... Though Ancelotti would also fit for me too

Pep could be great of course

But untested in the prem, unlike the other 2 I mentioned, Id just feel nervous about him and I dont warm to the guy, the chavs shit all over rafa (club & fans) so he has a massive point to prove, but prefer Ancelotti, hope Real give him the boot

Cheers Gav.

Pellegrini should go. Has got so much wrong hard to see him correcting his errors which are engrained in him now as a manager.

Transfers, tactics, defence, motivation, ...........

Ancelotti would be great got the experience and player fear factor that Pelle lacks, Pep would be great but aint coming, Klopp a bit of a punt which might pay big time or flopp.

Would be interesting to hear the views of the people who said keep him? Speak up with out fear of reproach! Can't speak for the ejits though

[Hesperus]

He sticks by his style of football which imo doesn't suit the prem. last week we surrendered 52% possession at home, to Villa. I do not want to watch that type of football.

Embarrassing defeats to Arsenal and the Rags. Out of both cups in the early rounds to inferior opponents, strange team selections and unwarranted rotations, stuttering form all season, a distinct lack of effort and passion in the teams performances. A total lack or charisma or personality during interviews.  Pay 28 mil for a striker in Jan who has barely played.  Lost ground on Chelsea and potentially Arsenal and the rags. Bar one champs league performance we played very poorly and were fortunate to make the knockout stages.

I think we should keep him.

I can see why many would want to keep him, especially for continuity, but also given his success last season. So I see no reason why anyone should be afraid to speak up in his favour.

Terrible buys
Tunnel vision
No charisma
Incapable of putting any sort of defence together
lousy hair

KK without the likeability factor

[Stephen Paul]

Think he might be staying

[City Slicker]

I think Pep will land at City this Summer as i have the feeling Klopp is taking over at Bayern? Just my opinion

[nimrod]

Think he might be staying

If this is true expect a full on return return to the days of 'typical city'

those halycon days when we could beat the rags 5 -1 only to fail at every hurdle that mattered for the rest of the uneventful and frustratingly miserable season

will he 'engineer' a way to stop the mighty Burnley pissing all over us?

Based on no knowledge whatsoever, I would be surprised if we ever see Pep at City. If we do, it will be for him to deliver some instant success, stay for 2/3 years and move on to the next interesting challenge.
IMO I think if we are ever to see youngsters brought through consistently it will only be under a manager who knows he is there for the longer term.
