Manchester City - Welcome To Manchester!

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour today dismissed manager Roberto Mancini because the Italian is to controversial. Mancini has been involved in a number of bust ups with A.C. Milan striker Mario Balotelli, which led the bad boy to leave the club recently and return to his native land of Italy. He has also been known to publicly criticise his players too, blaming Joe Hart in the media for one mistake he made in the Manchester derby against Manchester United. It is also believed another reason Mancini has been dismissed is that Mansour and other board members are disappointed in the clubs progress in European competition and would like a manager to be brought in who also has better people skills with his players. Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini has been touted as the favourite to take over, but as of yet, nothing has materialised and we can only expect someone with a vast knowledge of the game to be brought in.

One thing I gathered from that post, it's not going to be Pellegrini

Good Luck!!!

Manchester City are today delighted to announce the signing of former France and Man City midfielder Patrick Vieira as their new manager after contract talks with Manuel Pellegrini broke down. The 36 year old has reportedly signed a 1 year deal worth around £110,000 per week and has high hopes that he can make sure The Citizens can defend their Premier League crown in the upcoming season. Man City fans are delighted that Vieira has been appointed as the manager of the club, but are also concerned about his lack of managerial experience which could eventually come back to haunt them. Vieira has recently said in a press conference this morning that the club will need to spend money to meet his ambitions and retain the Premier League crown, and also to try and progress from the Champions League group stages for the first time. Vieira also stated that he is prepared to rebuild his squad next season after he sees what they are capable of in the upcoming season, but has promised the fans we will bring in reinforcements over the current transfer window.
