    No style, no philosophy, no man management, no special signings... seems like almost anyone could do what he's done with the squad and resources he's been given?

    Said it last year when he won the league but City fans and the media fornicated over him. He did the same thing with Malaga too.

    Even Hodgson could win the league with that squad and resources.

    Harsh - a stylish and aggressive coach. Won the league last year despite our amazing season.

    If spending shed loads of money equals easy success, then why haven't we won it?

    Yes, they have spent a lot of money but they've spent it on quality hence why they have won the league.

    Pellegrini inherited the most expensive squad in the league, then spent another £183m.

    Anyway it's not about whether City deserve to win or not, but how much Pellegrini contributes himself?

    Because our top signings are £20m and wages are 100k... and we can only buy one of them a season (ignoring this recent window where we only spent more due to getting the Suarez money).

    City's squad players are £20m (Dzeko, Bony, Jovetic, Mangala) and earn 100k and more and their top players cost £30m and earn £150k and more and they can buy 2 or 3 a season.

    No it's not, though you were probably just working backwards from your punchline <ok>

    No they don't, who's the worst winner is a nonsense by definition.

    Dalglish is the worst by a country mile.

    Got to be one of these two:

    Mancini - car crash style manager / management with a chronic inability to control his emotions and remain professional, consistently underachieved given the wealth of resources at his disposal

    Pellegrini - Just pipped us to the title, despite us coming from nowhere and spending approximately 0.000000000001% of what City have and with a completely different transfer strategy/capability, team would be fecked without Aguero, identity-less style of football


    That looks like City hating but they're the two that stand out.

    What? Dragging Blackburn Rovers from the Second Division to the Premier League title within 2/3 years not a big enough achievement for you??

    Quite like Pelligrini and the way he conducts himself. As a manager I rate him too. Today was just a bad day at the office. There isn't a manager on that poll who hasn't had that. Only a week or two ago it was Mourinho against Spurs.

    I heard someone today say City have the best squad, Chelsea has the best 11. I think that's about right and the title may very well be decided by that. Pelligrini may just fall short bcos Chelsea's 11 (or so) are just too bloody strong. What he did when City looked all but out of the CL in the group stages shows he's a winner imo.

    I would be interested in hearing some sort of reasoning behind the outburst. Unlikely we'll get one.

    1 Person won by getting 40 points
    1 Person won by getting 30 points
    1 Person won by getting 10 points

    All 3 won... however one of them was the worst by definition

    "of poorer quality or lower standard; less good or desirable"
