That article says their long-term target is Wenger. They're in dreamland. He wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. Especially when he could get the Real Madrid job by making a phonecall.

The way he sold them Toure and Adebayor at massively inflated prices gives you a good idea what he thinks of them.

"You can't Mark Hughes". I sign that appeared in a cup final that confused me for an hour. I was young and stupid. I'm not so young now.

Anyway back to the point. Wenger or no Wenger money can buy you success. But you have to get the right man for the job. Not sure they have that yet and not sure who they would get. A Mourinho type I think, but I'm sure he's holding out for the United job.

Gary Cook. Now there's a man who's just one letter away from a far more appropriate name

Doubtless a reference to the writings of the influential Marxist philospher Herbert Marcuse.

In his seminal 60's treatise on damaging nature of capitalism on the individual...One Dimensional Man...he foretold the treatment of the erstwhile Man City manager as a commodity, rather than a person.

I'll always be grateful to Brian Marwood for his diving header against the Shitheads.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hughes ends up at Liverpool.  Lets face it, the way things are going Benitez can't last much longer....can he?

Can they afford to sack him?

Two things keeping Benitez in a job:
1) They can't afford the pay-off. They're barely servicing the debt the fuckwit Americans landed them with to fund their takeover
2) In order to sack him, the fuckwit Americans would have to both be in the same room (or on the same phoneline) at the same time and actually agree on something

I'd be very surprised by that...Hughes's ManUre past surely would rule him out.

Long term i'd say that Everton would be a sensible move for Hughes,especially if Moyes takes
over from Fergie.Hughes had a season or two at Goodison at the end of his career.

As an alternative, Newcastle could be an interesting port of call,especially if they have money
to spend in the future. The rollercoaster springs to mind  Smiley

I hope this works out as well for City as Sacking Peter Reid some years back.

Relegation within 2 years & 3rd Division football again.


Presumably if Mancini doesn't make the Top 4 he will be out at the end of the season.

The people running Man City are such a bunch of clueless dongs. Just about the only thing left for them to do is hire Peter Kenyon.

The thing that is really getting my goat about the whole Mancini this is that it keeps being reported that he won three league titles while at Inter. He didnt. He won one, the other two were handed to Inter because of the misdemeanors of others. So in the true sense, he won jack-shit for those two years! Realistically he only won the league the next year because Juve had been relegated and AC docked points. He got lucky by being in charge of the third best team at a time when the other two were handicapped (By their own cheating, admittedly!!)

Its a little thing, but annoys the tits off me!!! (Sorry, slow day at work!)

What amazes me is that Mancini was quite happy to accept the job with Hughes still in place and wait around for Hughes to be sacked and walk straight in, I thought managers at least had ethics and although they may be interestedin the job actually wait until the present incumbent was sacked before accepting the job.
