Unless I was gannin' bonkers, I'm sure they said on't radio his salary is reputed to be more like £120k a week. I'm sure I heard someone say £25m for a 4.5 year contract. Might have been the evening standard. Absolutely staggering amount of money. Highest paid manager in the world perhaps.

“(In the Newcastle dressing room) if anyone speaks talking French or something the gaffer shouts ‘speak effin English, I don’t want any of that foreign s**t in my dressing room’.” Another quote from the Setanta article on this story. Blatantly a massive racialist.

Shame you seem so bitter about him, eh? The only bitter person in this thread is Joey Barton. "Manchester is a bit ladida". "City fans should thank me". He can't shut up about us! And if he's gonna carry on talking shite about my club and my City, I'm gonna carry on slating him. The cunt. And what do we have here? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_2825445,00.html Bitter. As. Owt. Or wishes he was still here. Still. There's always a job in a comedy waiting for him at then end of his career. Critique on Dressing Room spirit from Joey Barton. FFS.

So why didn't he drop Butt. He was the worst player on the pitch IMO.

Juande Ramos was one of the people linke to the City job over the summer...I was quite warm on the idea. The biggest concern I had (That I remember) was, great job at Sevilla aside... Teams managed 1993-1994 CD Alcoyano 1994-1995 Levante UD 1995-1996 CD Logroñés 1996-1997 FC Barcelona B 1997-1998 UE Lleida 1998-2001 Rayo Vallecano 2001-2002 Real Betis 2002 RCD Espanyol 2003-2004 Málaga CF 2005-Present Sevilla FC He's not exactly young. And he's hardly been a consistent sucess. Vallecano did well, but he managed Betis in El Fizzy Pop, Espanyol finished 17th the "season" he was in charge (not sure how long he lasted), Malaga finished 10th after he took over from a sucessful retiring manager...his CV isn't owt special on the face of it. Is he just the flavour of the month cos he's stumbled into a good setup in Seville.

Yup. Would have him and him only in January tbh. Maybe a left-back, but it's hardly crucial given there'll be Zoggy for cover (Duff will be back by then and the two will most likely rotate for that wing spot). http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_city/article2741624.ece

Levy looks smug as fuck!

I dont think he would. He's not the right type of player to fit into the system we have. But if we had Defoe, would we play the same system. Impossible to answer. Aye mate i mean in 4-4-2 he would not in 4-5-1 Agree.

Just looking at Jol in the dugout there. Looks like he's been crying I reckon.

I bet the Spurs board are kicking themselves, if only they had acted sooner, they could have got Gary Megson.

According to Pleat, Anthony Gardner "had a problem with his groins". Yes, I can see how that might have been a problem. Dawson is coming on now, Gardner crocked...

Who the effin ell is Shimbomba? 1-1 btw Getafe just equlaised with one of them long curling freekicks that no-one touches about a minute after Defoe headed in Berbatov's knockdown from the aforementioned Shimbomba's cross...

Should you not replace Voller with Rijkaard? Haven't seen the incident but I take it Addo spat at someone. Sorry Rudi! I've got that completely wrong haven't I. Wrong way round. And yes he did. Point blank range, proper gobful. Not pleasant.

Mihajlovic, Diouf, Voller, Totti....Addo.

Shame he can't pass eh

It certainly looks like these lot are the competition this season. Played 1 Lost 1 Without looking to see if any of the others have played eachother I'd imagine that the group of us, Blackburn, Citeh, and Pompey will win our home games against eachother and therefore by default lose the away games. Could be the winner of this mini league gets the European spot We lost 1-0 at Blackburn. 30 fouls to 3 or something like that. Dirty cunts. Portsmouth won 1-0 at Blackburn couple of weeks back. We play Portsmouth away in November. I think its on telly judging by 4pm sunday k/o time. Also think the African Nations Cup will be important. You, Portsmouth and Blackburn lose some key players like McCarthy, Samba, Muntari, Utaka, Beye and Martins. We lose nobody. Is that a suggestion for Butt in the return game?? The one flaw in that plan being Butt's inability to get anywhere near Elano. tbh.

tbf I think he plays badly every time anyone sees him play. Absolutely totally and utterly reliant on King to make him look competent. I wonder how good King would be if he had a partner who was actually half decent.

Cacapa? Past his best by the sounds of things. Why else would they let such an 'important' player go? Geremi? Don't make me laugh. Just content to sit on the bench at Chelsea which says it all really. Rozehnal? Still never heard of him. Joey Barton? Remind me again how many caps this 'English international' has. Well tbf he is no Cid but he tries his best Wasn't Cid signed by Allardyce?

Enrique seemed very one footed, he seemed to be tight to the touchline under pressure quite a lot when he had it, IMO the movement from the people in front of him has to be much better or he's going to end up giving the ball away a lot with needless hoofs down the line. Coped well tonight but he won't have the getout clause of dropping it in behind such a ponderous centre half most games. Beye looked alright. Much better than last time I saw him altho tbf he was up against fuck all.

Cacapa is a real find. I wasn't that fussed with Faye, he looks a bit slow to react to things to me considering he's been in this league a good while now, but Cacapa is one of them effortless defenders. Strange that you got him under such circumstances...wasn't he going to Qatar? He looks a much better player than that tbf. Or have I got him mixed up with one of the other 1,000,001 players you got linked to.
