Fair enough, heard he had said he was safe but didn't know he was given assurances even if (hopefully when) they go down.
All managers are entirely safe and their Chairmen have absolute confidence in them......right up to the point that they are fired. It's the way of football and any other business.
In this case I think he is safe.When he left us for Villa it was a big mistake.He should have waited for a bigger/better club.Villa are a bit of a dinosaur but as has been pointed out they don't have the funds to sack him and even if they did who of any stature would take the job?
So, Man Citeh, with Aguero, Tevez, Silva and Dzeko all currently on the pitch in the 70th minute, can't score against the Stoke team that we put 3 past in the first half?
As long as you do it before the end of added time, I agree! BBC site described this match as continuing City's "surge in form".
