Agreed, the whole thing is crazy, letting Sven go is just stupid.

If he does sell everyone it will be really interesting to see who they buy and who the manager will be, what manager in their right mind would want to walk into that situation with an owner as unbalanced as Sinatra.

Been there done that and got themselves out of the poo already, 1998/1999 season they were in League one.

I dont like to see teams in this sort of mess, although its potentially financially great for my team it cant be good for the City fans, they must be bobbing themselves.

You cannot help but think that Shinawatra would have been better buying himself a copy of Football Manager instead.

Seriously guys how many city players are actually wanted? probably about 5 - Hart, Richards, Dunne, Elano, Petrov, Cant think of any others players who are above average.

I'd probably add Onuoha, Corluka, and Fernandes to that list - all in their early twenties with plenty of potential.

Johnson and Ireland are good players and would get in another half decent Prem team.

I was living in Thailand when he bought City, he made all sorts of big promises about how City would be as big as United and playing in the Champions League next season

So even though it's their best finish in years (decades) they've still caused him to lose face back home, which is nice
