Possibly or more likely someone will come in with a totally different idea about what they want and make a ton of multi million pound signings that will need more time to bed in and add to all the egos that like to ruck with eachother. Pellegrini is obviously a decent manager but I don't think that appointing a manager that has zero command of English is a good idea, especially at a club full of all those personalities and expectations.

yep. plus pellegrini is the man who spent 200m in one summer with madrid and got sacked after winning fudgeall
we really need to pounce soon because its only a matter of time before city/chelsea find competent managers to fully exploit their riches

he speaks good english. There will be no problem from this point of view
I like Pellegrini. His teams play attractive football and he is a better man manager than Mancini

To be fair anyone who can get an average Villarreal team to a CL Semi and Malaga to a QF of a CL (within a minute of going to the semis) in there first season must be pretty damn good. I think Emirates Marketing Project MIGHT actually make it out the group stages for once.

Mancini can have no complaints, surely. He knew they shafted Hughes to get him and so it has finally come round to his turn.

I can't see why this is would be controversial. When you look at the squad he has underachieved. They won despite him rather than because of him. He needed the miracle goal to win the title last season and wasn't at the races this season. It's ridiculous he failed to get out of the CL group stages twice, which was a problem he also had at Inter (who then won it without him). His success in Italy also had a lot of luck to it - Juventus being stripped of the title and relegated, a weak Milan team - so his achievements on paper look better than they are.
There is little to suggest he is a good manager in the sense of getting the best out of the players available. I also heard an interview that he was totally aloof from the players and extremely unpopular in the dressing room.

They didn't care to elaborate on this, then? Sounds like a reasonable paraphrase might be, "Didn't win the Prem and CL double, so he's out." They're as ridiculous as fudging Chelsea.
I saw an interview with Graham Hunter on Sky two days ago which said despite the rumours, Pellegrini most definitely cannot speak English.

I think 2 of those targets would have been...
1) Don't get knocked out at the CL group stage AGAIN with some terrible performances and
2) Try and put up a decent defence of the title.
Exactly. I think even losing the final against Wigan wouldn't have made any difference if they had put up a better showing in the league and champions league, he would probably still have had a job.

I was in Ireland a few years back when he was in charge of Real, they were playing a friendly against Shamrock, and I personally heard him give an interview in English
Fair play then. The guy can most definitely speak the queens!
