I really don't understand why so many think Txiki and Soriano and running EVERYTHING and the manager position is just a face, or something. I don't see why this manager won't be like a normal manager; Mancini wanted too much power at the club. He wanted to do whatever he wanted without reporting to anyone. That's not how it works...or why else have a CEO etc.

CEOs run overlook the business plan and set budgets.
never ran operations.

Then, You have to decide who knows best on football operations: whether the Fergusons, Wengers, Mancinis of this world, or the Marwoods.

What evidence is there that Txiki and Soriano will in fact be running everything?

Please don't get me started back on this where's the evidence bollock, mate.

Get what You please, enjoy the sense of liberation and relief at not having to see the eyebrows shaped dictator ruining the magnificent side he has inherited and the progress people have claimed for the last 4 shameful years.

Now You have got the progress. The rags will certainly enjoy it, much more than they Blues are gonna do, I fear.

what were your thoughts on swales when he was in charge?

He didn't have as much wealth as we are enjoying now, nor had to deal with sneaky amateurs willing to milk his purse, though.

In all truth, I wasn't as close to the Club everyday business as I am now, at his time.
The point of my astonishment at City, as a glorious and important Club of the English game, have always been the appetite of the Club for anarchy and the ability to always turn round the worse corner.
I think the Swales era epitomizes our DNA as fairly as nothing else.

I will never be able to enjoy easy success, though, and that what ultimately took my path into the love for the English Game and Culture to end up as a Blue.

A Rag, a Juventus fan, a Municher, a Franco-Fascit, will never be able to appreciate what an Aguerooooooo like title won at City tastes like. This is - more than anything else - why I am a Blue.

I'm not trying to get anything started. It was just a genuine question.
No idea who the eyebrows shaped dictator is. I don't really understand what you said either.

I owe You an apology, mate.

I should have realized from the colour of Your nick, that You were not around at the time of the so called Marwoodshite.

As for the eyebrows shaping, check for the Vicky spinning.

Nailed on. These quotes are going around Twitter -

"Professionally, I'm living my last hours in Malaga. On Sunday I will take charge of my last game as Malaga coach in La Rosaleda"

"I'm not leaving Malaga for money or a big contract, but for what you look for in this job, a project."

Can we not make it common procedure to actually Link to the twitter accounts where we're getting information from. I for one like to see things with my own eyes and not just have quotes without references to the actual source.

They're on a number of accounts so would you like me to link to every one? Or find the one I think you might not question?

Thought him leaving was confirmed. What's not is where to. And from those quotes, he could just as easily be referring to Neverton

The only Everton-related project going on is the construction of a new Tesco on the site they had earmarked for a new ground.

Unless he means training up P. Neville, in which case it's a very long term project.

Well someone needs to work on his manners as well as his ability to not take a question personally.

There's been a journo putting up articles saying it was a done deal for months, possibly as you say since the new year, although it seems longer even than that to me. I put it down to bollox at the the time, even though the journo was putting his name to them, and they were quite black and white, as in they were written as a statement of fact rather than the usual mate of a mate understands and it is believed rubbish.

wait ... if it's been a done deal since new years, how does the time table work out for the dynamic duo of john and mancio to blame it on a tricky and sorry power grab?

I saw something over the last two weeks saying the poor display in the CL group was what decided it. It also suggested it was the Sheikh who wasn't happy.

Who knows how true any of the rumours are, but if that's the case, possibly only a league and FA cup double could have saved him.

I doubt the Spaniards backed him up - he wasn't their choice so they'd have felt to loyalty to him. Khaldoon didn't fail, as he'd picked someone who'd provided CL football, an FA cup and a league, so was clearly an improvement over Hughes but could be seen as the next step in the 'project'. If I was Khaldoon, I'm not sure I'd have fought for Mancini if the requirement was to do well in the CL - you could have found yourself sacked with him by Xmas if we'd done the same again.

look you, I don't want any reasonable discussion or relevant news ... I just want to know how this timing would affect my ability to hear about the 2 dirtiest schemers who ever had the misfortune of being shat out onto a catalan tapas plate from John and Mancio.
