Why does everyone love Martinez so much? He's been manager of Wigan for 3 years and every year, he's been involved in a relegation battle. Okay, he plays pretty football, but he doesn't get results. I'm also gonna guess that he's the only manager to ever lose by 8 goals twice in a single season. When Pellegrini took over Villareal, they were the team that narrowly avoided relegation the year before, and he guided them to 3rd in his first year and second the year after.

I will give the man a chance.

Martin Samuel fanboys.

should it not work out....

I wonder if they will let him smoke though?

Fairly irrelevant bit of stats but reading mourinho's record at Madrid, he won their cup in 10/11, won the league in 11/12, and won their community shield in 11/12 also. Rings bells

Does that mean no compo will be required? How are we supposed to spend ONE BILLION at this rate?

If we end up with Mourinho this will be the biggest blag in football history since that kid claimed he was a footballer.

Think Pellegrini will be amazing. I can't wait. Thought the last season was awful to watch. Mourinho would be awful and make the sacking of Mancini perverse.

Can't wait.

This. mostly. Still think Jose would be kind of fun. Pellegrini will be coolio though. He reminds me of someone. Like a villain off the 1960s?

Danny Welbeck?

Manuel Pellegrini will be handed over £100million of talent upon his arrival with Txiki Begiristain working on closing several big deals.

hp sauce?

Presuming we get pellers, getting a one'er to start off with is pretty sweet...
so, thats isco/cavani for starters...

Outgoing Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini has stated that taking over from Roberto Mancini as Manchester City boss remains "an option".

The Chilean said his goodbyes to the Malaga crowd on Sunday night after leading them to a 3-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna in their final home game of the season.

Pellegrini has consistently refused to confirm that he is on his way to the Etihad Stadium but has at last conceded that may be his destination.

"I am lucky to have good options and Manchester City is an option," he said.

Pellegrini's record in the Champions League, where he took an unfancied Malaga side to the quarter-finals of this season's competition, have led him to being linked with City.

Mancini failed to take a star-studded side out of the Champions League group stages and City's hierarchy are likely to target a potential manager who has enjoyed some success in the competition.

Speaking on the club's tour of the USA, Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano recently confirmed they would be targeting five trophies in the next five years under their new boss.

City have not yet confirmed they are focusing their managerial search on Pellegrini but, when asked, Soriano did nothing to play down the speculation linking them with the Chilean.

"I think the boxes are right. You know what we want," said Soriano. "The analysis of the candidates goes beyond the results that we can see.

"Age is not relevant at this point, but with the kind of squad we have, we want a senior manager.

"We want a manager who knows about football but we want somebody who knows about man management and this is something we are convinced about, that it is impossible for us to win the Champions League if we don't have a group that behaves like a family."

His agent more or less confirming he is our new manager saying he turned down Porto and someone else.
