Wouldn't be the worst choice in the world but he's not exactly top notch. Could live with him in the short-term, mind.
Seems like the only manager of that ilk who might actually be available.
Yeah, okay.

There's not really a lot of options that fit that description to be honest.

Except Ched Evans was found guilty in court...

That's kind of my point. We aren't going to do that, we aren't good enough at the moment.

Nah. We're not good enough to catch up to them.

I think he's done. I just don't see how he can come back from this. For a start he has very little to fall back on now it's going badly.

I was shocked he didn't get sent off. He quietened down a bit but he was a liability for the first hour.

Quite possibly. It's certainly something they should be considering anyway, he's had an absolutely horrific season in basically every respect. The big question, and it's one that can't really be answered, is just how convinced Txiki/Soriano are by him. They seem fairly patient and determined about following a set style (and the Sheikh and Khaldoon definitely are) but to me, Pellegrini doesn't seem to following that style all that closely. He plays a lot of lip-service to the idea of playing positive, attacking football but I'm not convinced how much we've lived up to it. His team is the only one in the entire City set-up that doesn't play a Barça-style 4-3-3, the kids do it, the women's team too and I believe NYCFC do too. He seems absolutely set on trying to succeed with his 4-4-2. It's bizarre both as a personal preference and in relation to the club's wider plan.
All that said, if Pep decides not to stay at Bayern then Pellegrini will be out on his ear.
Unfortunately, I think you're probably right on both counts.

That's a terrible reason to be playing him too. He's tall but he's not even that good in the air.

We're going to get pumped.

Whilst that's true City are worse than most at the moment. We've scored one goal from a corner all season I think (and that was in September).

I'm not sure that's even the worst part any more. There's so many things being done horrifically.

It's not just the home form to be honest. We've been below par more or less all season but have scraped wins and now the moments of inspiration are drying up we're finally suffering the consequences. We've had the same problems crop up consistently since Pellegrini arrived, they haven't been addressed and now this is the result. He's not the only one responsible but Pellegrini has had a shocking season and it's difficult to honestly say he's improved the team, most of the summer signings actually seem to be getting worse with every game which suggests to me that he's not having a positive effect.
I posted this slightly longer rant a couple of weeks ago:
The only thing that has really changed since then is my opinion of Pellegrini.

Not sure you can do that. I think the legal way is for the parent club to pay the player's wages when he is playing games, and the loaning club to pay the wages when he isn't playing.

I regularly read his column and I don't even care about Arsenal.
