Today's Football 2014/15

Not a risk given the finances - he has high expectations, if you can't meet them, you're not the winner you want, out you go.

It's a bit different to, say, Tottenham, where anything from 4th to 8th is expected. At City, it's 1st, or 2nd at a push, and given the money they have so it should be.

Outside of Martinez and arguably Rodgers, Pellegrini has been the most underperforming manager this season.

Oh come on, don't let anyone take Brenda's under performing crown please

Agree with this completely. I think he's definitely gone in the summer, if not before.

I honestly think that would be unreasonable after one bad season

It's not a Mancini situation where it's obvious he's lost the dressing room. It's a bad second season. They happen. We should know FFS

how can you have a bad second season with all those world class players they have though

man utd's defence is shocking but look at their position

The situations are not one and the same, therefore applying the logic from one and simply transferring to another is naive.

Citeh undoubtedly need Champions League football (and possibly PL success as well) to balance their heavily uneven financial situation.

When you consider how much they've invested in their squad, to be as lacklustre as they've been just will not be acceptable.

He has already came out and mentioned that they need to spend more significant amount of cash to compete. Do they trust him to do that?

Football in Kendall's day was much simpler; decisions were less knee-jerk or heavily weighted on finance and global image.

Kendall spent before our title defence that season

For the timeframe, Everton spent enough to be considered in contention

We didn't win it, but we were there in the mix

Pellegrini had an excellent season and a below average one this year

To say that's enough to axe him is unreasonable

They just got beat by Palace mate, in a game they "needed" to win, I doubt he could find the dressing room with a sat nav.

Because sometimes stuff doesn't click

Again, look at us this season

Still unreasonable to sack him IMO

Football is broken if he is axed

Mancini was sacked for the same reason as im saying he should be, yet you think the Mancini sacking was justified?

Footie may already be broken, too many haves and far, far too many have nots make it a very unlevel playing field.

If they beat United and then finish a strong second, it won't be a good season, but it will leave them in a decent enough position for the next one

To sack him in that situation would be harsh on him I feel and wouldn't have happened in the past

if you spend 200 million and things don't click then heads need to roll

Yes

Because he'd clearly lost the dressing room and had been there for more than two seasons

The display against Hull in the Final said it all

Step up Manuel and Brenda

He hasnt just failed in the League tho, theres not a single thing he can point to and say "Yeah, I did well here".

Wigan that should be
