Man City are complete failures! Let's all laugh at 'em!

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Look's like we will finally get to see what motivates superstars. Do you want craploads of money, or a chance to play in Champions league? If it's only the money, welcome to Man City. Will Hughes last til christmas I wonder.

Given that, realistically, Citeh's "millions will mean that, ultimately, they will be successful this last hurrah ot their total inemptitude is a very, very welcome moment.

so ... here goes ... HURRAH !!

Meanwhile I utterly loved this afternoons's Radio Citeh phone-in as the suicide squad got into full flow. It's a real shame they are bankrolled or they'd be real options for the drop this season.

OK, we just Lost to Sunderland & the wheels are working loose again. So, how to seek consolation ??

Well, Citeh have just lost ... at home ... 3-0 ... to Notts Forest, currently 21st in the Second Division. I have an idea ... turn on Radio Manchester.

I've just had over an hour of the most enjoyable thing I could do with my ears which doesn't involve blues music ... aural sex I shall call it. Call after call after call from near suicidal members of the Massive. Each one more desperate than the last. Can't see Hughes (who, actually I like & think is too good for that shower) surviving this one.

If they sack Hughes, it needs to be this weekend otherwise the new manager (when they've chosen him) won't have enough time to use their millions to bring in who they want. I don't think Hughes will go personally, I think he's there for the season at least.

I'd be surprised if it matters who the manager is

City is a rich mans toy

Can't believe they give their money to the likes of Hughes to spend

It'll be 'here, we've bought you a player....now go use him'

yeah

as proven by the fact they brought in robinho the very day it was announced they planned to buy the club (don't think they'd even formally completed the acquisition at that stage)

highly unlikely to believe they'd had any kind of conflab with hughes before they sorted out his signing

Not really a surprise . . . I think virtually every member of City feels like a dead man walking. Just biding their time until they get canned for some overpriced reject from the Champions League clubs.

Next up, Darren Fletcher and Yossi Benayoun.

If, as people are saying, it doesn't matter who the manager is because he doesn't have a say, then why would they sack Hughes anyway?

I still think he'll be there to see the season out at least.

Surely they'll soon appoint a continental used to being a head coach rather than being a manager.
