I see a lot of managerial changes coming very soon.

Benitez Out > Mourinho in
Mancini Out > ???
Sir Alex > David Moyes
Alan Pardew > ???
Roberto Martinez > ???

Benitez off to Malaga?

As for Pardew he's unsure of his job safety.

“Hopefully it’ll be good enough to keep my job next year, but that ultimate decision is not mine so we could get the points we need and Mike (Ashley) could decide he needs to move to another manager.

I also wonder what it'd be like to have Sir Alex take up a position on the Sky Sports commentary team.

Agreed. Will be sad to see him retire as well. Next season Ryan Giggs will retire. Im going to see what the odds are lol

City should apply to join the SPL. Reckon they'd have a good chance of finishing second.

Hiya Colin hiya pal

Mancini Out > Manuel Pellegrini in
Alan Pardew Out > media report a French manager

Benitez to Malaga is a good shout. That said he could end up at PSG if Carlo goes to Real.

Yes, if they get rid of Moyes after two seasons without a trophy that will lack class in my eyes, but since 1970/1971 United have changed manager five times and one of those was sacked for marital wrongdoings, in that time City have changed their manager a staggering 28 times, United have a lot of catching up to do on that front.

Rooney to Arsenal - dont make laugh, he will want to go to a side that is chasing trophies.

With Wenger in charge he has no hope, and they wont pay Rooney, his high wages.

Wenger has won more Premier League titles than Tottenham have in their entire history. And Arsenal can afford to pay Rooney. We're talking taking 2-3 deadwood players off the payroll which funds Rooneys salary.

The Times and The Telegraph are going to report that Mancini is to be sacked

I reckon City fans should pipe down and welcome Mr Pellegrini.

I don't see why a club should sack their manager for coming second in the league and FA Cup when they were horse-manure for 50 years.

That coming from a 'Utd' fan who supports a manager whom swears to never look back, only forward

Simply put.. close to 500m investment under Mancini or over 2 years? crap CL campaign. not getting the most out the squad. close to 200m wage bill. theres very good reasons to get rid of Mancini.

l suppose those comments applies to your beloved Spurs as well Arthur.

Someone was busy with a calculator yesterday and reckoned that the City team cost an average of £16.4 million per man, the whole of the Wigan team cost under £13 million.

And it's only 45 years to be fair.
