Sparky Leaves City

[WatchMUFC]

Manchester City have sacked Mark Hughes after 18 months in charge and named Roberto Mancini as his successor, with Brian Kidd as assistant.

News of Hughes' departure came via a statement, issued just two hours after the 4-3 home win over Sunderland.

The Welshman had been appointed in June 2008, replacing Sven-Goran Eriksson.

But despite spending heavily on the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Joleon Lescott and Carlos Tevez, results have not satisfied City's ambitious owners.

hahahahahahahahaha unluky sparky. nots county for you

[andrewcmufc]

we knew that was coming, citys owners want results not draws

[Noucamp99]

Strange time to do it off the back of a win and only 2 losses this year. We've lost FIVE!

Pleased it's Mancini, because he doesn't know about the PL, unlike Hiddink who was the other choice. Allegedly.

I herd that Mancini was over learning from the coach's at man utd at the start of the season (pre-season).

what a RAT

[blah_united]

i see this as a good move for city unfortunaly

[sypher]

hope that city still won't be dangerous

[DaleDaManc]

the only way for this to work for city is they hold on to this new gimp and give him at least two years.
he is going to find it hard with such a SH*T team
