Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

The City fans I work with give him exactly the same grief as the Martinez-out posters do on here.....it's like an off-the-shelf abuse pack for football geniuses to campaign for dismissal......."no plan B", "can't defend without Kompany", "bought sh1te like Sterling and Navas", "clueless substitutions".....


And he looks like Niall Quinns dad.

If you want an ex-City manager who did a fine job, and who their fans still chant about then you need to be heading to Milan, not Chile with Moshiris cheque book.

As i said mate, i'm mixed on Pelligrini, has he massively udnerperformed at City - obviously - is their a lot of behind the scenes reasons why he may have - no doubt about it, their form since the annoucnement shows in many ways that. As a club from the top down they have been waiting for 4 years or more now for Guardiola and has always been a situation that the manager was keeping that seat warm, not ever the best situation to manage in really

To counter that though, he took over Villareal and the job he did their was amazing, same when he took over at Malaga too, and the style of football he palyed wa sto be commended at both - and both had sound defensives under him too

Madrid - hard to really rate any manager on what they did at Madrid tbf, finished second - got their record ever points total whilst doing so, and managed to manage a lot of masive ego's with no problems

so at the real top could say he underperformed, at middle/lower level clubs he overperformed and got them into the bracket that both Moyes and Martinez have failed to do - playing CL, interstingly both Malaga and Villareal had a cash injection around the time he took voer - so would be similar to what we may have

All depends on whcih manager we'd get if it happened, could be more of the same effectively as you stated, or could be someone that pushes us onto another level

he's desperate for once last pay day basically, avoid

His reputation is high enough he doesn't have to hawk himself around mate, will be interesting to see where he does end up at though and see if he can reproduce his work at Malaga/Villareal etc

It will be more interesting to see if he can get the biggest spenders in the league to finish in the top 4 this season

 

[davek]

Wow. So you admit we have a problem??!

Yes, Roberto has a headache wondering what to do with the £150M he's getting in the summer.

Decisions, decisions...

Honestly City just handled that so badly it's untrue, half the players know that they will be out the door in a few months time no matter what and look unarsed and are probably thinking about saving themselves to perform at the euros and in the CL and getting their moves now, when the players have basically stopped fighting for the club any manager is screwed - see Mourinho for an example of that

Meh, I'd much rather have a manager who tells their players to shut up and perform whilst earning millions per year. Just my opinion though

Thats deffo not martinez then either

 

[LocalNative]

Would take Pellegrini in a heartbeat. Knows how to win trophies.

Haha, I can't really argue with that. Just not a fan of giving managers the boot mate. Look at the kip of Liverpool, United, Newcastle, Sunderland etc..... Done them loads of favours sacking managers... But hey ho, at least we're not Villa

Think really mate it's more a sign of bad owners for all those 4 clubs - 3 of which have no idea about football in the rs, Newcastle and United - not sure about sunderlands owners but dont look like they have a clue either about the game. all 4 have got themselves in a mess by making bad appointments they effectively had to sakc, Dalglish, Hodgson, Moyes, Poyet, DiCanio, Carver, McClaren etc or have a messed up and fractured structure which means that the manager is undermined by the structure above - certainly the case with the rs transfer committee and the influence ed woodward and ferguson have at united for example

 

[Roger Milla]

If Bobby is to stay he should be made to bring in some top quality coaches to replace or help his ex lower league teammates/mates that he has with him now. It's a farce of a set up.

Exactly. Think I'd rather just stick with Martinez for now! I was an ardent Moyes fan by the way

haha i remember you as one mate, each to their own, im on the other side of that fence now though

 

[FisherEFC]

Just the thought of seeing Martinez replaced makes me smile.

Leicester booted Pearson and brought in Rainieri, Spurs booted....almost everyone until they found the right one in Pochettino. Sacking someone who isn't right should be expected. You take the chance and see what can be done, if it isn't working then replace.
