Crazy news:

That's ludicrous. Almost Newcastle-like in it's absurdity

If it was Newcastle he'd be due a testimonial.

[Major Dude]

Utter shite.

Big licks Thaksin throwing his weight around. Fuck off war crimes prick!

[RD]

it was a sad day when the fa/premier league allowed such a person to buy out man city (if thats what he did - excuse my ignorance)
man city seem to have forever been plagued by incompetence-mostly behind the scenes.

wish the pricks who buy into english teams & who have no passion for our game & think they are experts would just fck right off!

i think my team have been blessed with randy lerner(mind you almost anything after ellisss would have been an improvemnet)...still we will see what money mon has to spend in the summer-but i'm confident.

[gmos]

I understand people being resentful of this foreign money coming in and taking ownership of the game, but why are you blaming the money men? They're just businessmen, you should look closer to home at your own clubs and the FA who've created the circumstances that has allowed clubs to be bought out by whoever has enough cash.

The greatest irony is Liverpool, the fans who probably gave United the most abuse for their takeover, now look at them!

As for Erikson, I bet most English fans wish the FA had the balls to get rid of him as quickly :p

I thought he did a canny job with a very limited group of players.

Exactly. Its called Capitalism. Get over it.

[Danny long legs]

This is fucking rubbish news. And what's more it is down to those fucking donkeys that call themselves a team. managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on Saturday means our manager has been fucked in the ass.

I blame the players, for not being able to hold on to a victory, comparitivley I think Sven has been the best manager we ever had in my time. These lazy-good for nothing-cunts should have pulled their fucking finger out and bagged another 4 on Saturday. Instead they sat on their arses and gave 3 points away to fucking Fulham.

Fair enough fellas you beat UTD twice this season, and although that gives me enough ammo to work with regarding those red fuckers, it doesn't help much when you cannot hang on to two goals against a team that is second from the fucking bottom.

Idle cunts.

[gmos]

I thought he did a canny job

£24 million earned for about 6 years, and 3 quarter finals would suggest he did a canny job indeed, but with his bosses more than his players.

[Danny long legs]

Sorry, can I just say idle cunts again.

[I Robot]

Dunno what war crimes chairman expects for city . Team Sven inherited ,even City's staunchest fan would admit was useless, and couldn't score at home.They sold their two best players in the Summer and Sven has them playing attractive, exciting football - something he never achieved with england.

City fans must be gutted

[jitterbug]

insane. file under 'mike ashley'

[Count Cookula]

That's ludicrous. Almost Newcastle-like in it's absurdity

Bring back Franny Lee!



Trashcan Sinatra... crazee name, crazee ideas about running a football club... can't wait to see who they get, wonder if he's got anyone lined up already. Very stupid move for Citeh.

[fastasleepclub]

What's going on with football in 2008, eh? That's three in about the space of a week now - Sven does some decent stuff with a Man City that's been somewhat short of decent for years now, and gets canned. Peter Taylor leaves Stevenage Borough because they missed the play-offs by 2 points. And Steve King seems set to get the boot from Lewes after guiding them to the Conference South championship, and actual promotion this year, now that their ground is finally up to snuff.....

Crazy times, folks.....crazy times. When are they going to figure out that entertainment does not equal money, and vice versa. And that trying your best in defeat will always mean more to a true fan, than an endless chain of boring 1-0 wins....

[Contador]

Murmours on the London BBC news is that he could be a replacement for the under fire (under fire? when you in a European cup semi and still in with a chance of the league!!) Avram Grant at Chelsea.

[RD]

finally he's fallen & now they chase mark hughes- like chelsea a job for suckers

[hambo]

Shades of Romanov methinks. Poor Citeh fans.......

[Maelstrom]

It's in the press today that Citeh can have Hughes for £5m.

[Maelstrom]

Just read this (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3642635,00.html) too...

[hambo]

It appears that not only the citeh fans are they only ones not to miss (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1052255_spend_spend_sven)him......

[Count Cookula]

Oh Sparky. What have you done?

[RD]

a good manager no doubt but surely he must be a masochist?
if he can't better sven by this time next year then he will be on his bike-but maybe thats clever thinking on sparkys part - with a fat wedge pay off?

[Count Cookula]

And he's embittered the United fans in the process, so perhaps shooting down any future chance at the only decent managerial job in Manc

[slept in]

Do you really think that will have any bearing on him becoming a future Man Utd manager? I don't...
