If Guardiola is coming then obviously we'll have to stick with Pellegrini until the summer but if not I'd like to see Ancelotti installed asap
I don't care if Pellegrini goes on to win the PL this season or not,still want him gone
Paul,
I agree - needs to be gone whether a trophy or not.
Pellegrini has every chance of winning the PL this season but with our personnel we should be dominating and be a few points clear given how our key rivals have struggled.
We've had an horrendous injury list for the last month or so which is a mitigating factor in us losing key matches. However, it's not losing that troubles me (it pisses me off but it's part of sport and I'm old enough to have probably seen us lose more games than we've won). It's the manner in which we've lost - we seem to just not turn up in some games and that's to do with organisation and leadership - on and off the pitch!

no, you don't get away with that.
Like many other City fans, I've been very patient and supportive of Pellegrini believing he'll 'get it' at some point. The truth is that he simply doesn't and has 'not got it' for quite some time now. There was a glimmer of hope earlier this season when he experimented with 5 in midfield (which he may or may not have been forced into by our ridiculously long injury list) but the last 2 games have shown that when he has a choice to be cavalier he'll take it even when the bigger picture says, 'defend the point first and break with speed'.
We were a disorganised rabble against Liverpool (and Spurs earlier) and on Wednesday only needed a point in Juventus to stay in the driving seat and we didn't set up to get that point, we were far too open.
Not setting the team up appropriately has happened far too many times.

yeah me too with a lot of stuff so I sympathise with that but all my original 60s and 70s shirts will be back in vogue - YAY!!!
...oh, and wearing the badge in the middle of the shirt is very cool!
Could be worse Joey. Could have the eagle version of this on your back

That Rooney City legend one is bs for sure. His back is arched and the writing is perfectly straight!
no, you don't get away with that

It was tongue in cheek...sort of.
I'm a Madrid fan, and we've got a bit of a track record for releasing managers after a title-winning season. I've generally disagreed with such decisions, but in some cases have understood why they were taken.
From the outside these moves are generally met with disbelief and criticism, but each club and its fans have their own expectations as to what a manager should or shouldn't achieve.
Fwiw, for all his failings I'd personally lean more towards Pellegrini than Mancini, who for my liking was far too risk-averse for the players he had at his disposal, but that's precisely because of the above - we all have our own expectations.

fair play, sorry I jumped on your comment.
Agreed.
Of the 2 I prefer Pellegrini's attacking style and non-confrontational manner but ideally, we'd just have an appropriate style for the opposition we play - I don't think that's too much to ask for from a top-flight manager.
No worries, my first post didn't really invite constructive debate; your reply was much more civil than it merited.
Appreciate what you say. I still like the guy, but have come to accept he isn't as top drawer as I wanted to believe.
