Jim? Taking Tevez back, allowing Balotelli to act like he does, buying the league, spending waaay over the odds for players, buying and selling players like popcorn every year, stifling home grown talent, hmm what else am I forgetting?

Taking Tevez back is one way of putting it.

Standing up to player power and winning would be another.

Balotelli is a loose cannon. But he's hardly the first such player in football history. We're not talking about a racist or rapist. He's just a bit mad and wild. If City are standing by him, it hardly shows them in a terrible light.

Buying the league? Sure....but they hardly kick started that trend. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

As to stifling home grown talent....in the short term, maybe. Long term, though, they have great plans for their academy. It will put ours in the shade.

In the meanwhile, they are also in the process of drawing up plans to regenerate a huge, hitherto deprived area of Manchester.

And, especially ever since the odious Garry Cook left the club, City don't strut around, mouthing off. They quietly get on with the job of trying to make their club one of the best in the world.

All very different to Chelsea, their perpetual hiring and firing of managers and their poor handling of far too many controversial incidents.

Some good points there.

Chelsea and City are very different. Garrrrry Cook really should have gone to Chelsea ("Milan bottled it" :ross:). They are now showing a much more patient and low key approach. There are good reasons for dumping Mancini but they will give him time. They seem a much better bet for someone like Guardiola.

And are City bowing more to player power than United with Rooney's ambition? Or Cantona's fan appreciation or Keane's thuggery?
 
Forest's Kuwaiti owners have sacked chief executive Mark Arthur, club ambassador Frank Clark and head of recruitment Keith Burt. They are really doing a number on that club.
 
There were rumours a couple of months back, but I thought he had turned it around. Even gotten some distance to the bottom 3.

Southampton appoint former Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager after Nigel Adkins was ‘relieved of his duties
 
An old manager who was doing well and on track to avoid relegation or a new one who doesn't know the players and doesn't know the league joining mid-way through a season.



That's crazy talk.
 
I still think Forest sacking O'Driscoll on the eve of a 4-2 win over Leeds to replace him with McLeish was worse.

First thing first - Pochettino will be doing a press conference at 2:30pm - with an interpreter - he doesn't speak English !




Not sure if true, would make the situation even more laughable though.
 
Absolutely. I genuinely hope they implode and go down.

And the person responsible for this decision should be hung, drawn and quartered.

Anyone looked at Saints forums to see the response?
