He was gone when they crashed out of the CL in my opinion.

Well done to Wigan. The underdogs won. Better team win. Oh and hahahaha to all Man City fans, City are not signing any more, City not singing any more. Hahahahaha

City always try to copy United, even as far as getting a new manager next season

[iadom]

Well it looks like City, Chelski and United will all have new managers next year. It takes real class to keep your old one for over 26 years though.

Haha both of them posts made me laugh. City will never out do Utd. At least we are able to keep a manager for over 26 years, not sure i can say the same about City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool

I don't think Arsenal deserve to be on that list TBH.

Not really sure what relevance length of tenure is, we had a manager for 31 years and only five in 95 years and don't feel the need to crow about it

Its the best result in years, and this is what the greatest competition in the world is all about - the underdog.

All the bookies near me were giving Wigan no chance, but my god, even l jumped up when Wigan scored. Well done to Martinez, Whelan and the Wigan boys.

There is only one snag here - will Whelan manage to keep his great Manager.

[MalteseFalcon]

Arthur is right, even if Wigan get relegated Martinez is highly likely to be in demand next season. I think Everton would be mad not to look at him, ditto anyone else looking for a new manager. Weird prediction now:

Mancini sacked from City, new manager of Madrid. Mourinho to City, and Martinez to leave Wigan and become new Chelsea manager (despite what I said about Everton lol).

I was overjoyed when I heard Wigan had scored. Nice consolation for them, as I would think it is pretty much a foregone conclusion now they are in the Championship next year. Be a shame, but I hope they bounce back straight away.

Paul Scholes has just announced his actual retirement.

[thenry]

Rooney to Arsenal stories are hotting up. I can't see Arsenal paying him 200odd k BUT Arsenal are going to shift a fair bit off the current wage bill. with incoming renewals/revenue increasing the wage budget could be increased





DailyStar ^ they have sources at Arsenal including a very good relationship with the head, Peter Hill-Wood. Wenger would get Jack & Rooney functioning.. great news for England too if it happens.

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez will face no further action from FIFA despite being caught on camera punching Chile defender Gonzalo Jara during a World Cup qualifier in March.

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/14...-punch?cc=5739

so FIFA are working with the PFA/FA. Should have thrown the book at him for that too in my opinion.

Really? So when utd changed their manager less than 26 years they were classless?

And if they decide to change in future before 26 years, they will equally be classless? Even if the manager achieves nothing?
