His contract expires in two months.

If he pulls a Pirlo I want to see him praised all year long, being nominated for the Balon D'Or 2015, grow a strangely attractive beard and write a book to insult Galliani & co within two years.

Backup keeper.
First choice centre back.
Competition at left back.
Attacking midfielder.
Versatile attacker (can play on either wing or behind striker).

If I'm being greedy I'll say a top notch defensive midfielder too but we could probably survive without one.

Hey Wes, I'm interested to hear your assessment of Holman now that you had him for a whole season.

If you remember way back at the start of the season, I recall you being quite optimistic about him, whereas I was quite critical of him.

I haven't seem too many Villa games this season, what do you think of Holman now?

Question: You said Vicky should stop these rumours but she can only do that if someone on the board tells her to?

Mancini: Vicky is in charge, ask her. It’s difficult for me to say. I say to you one thing. When I worked for Inter Milan, for a month the newspapers wrote the same as you. I thought always, it’s not true, it’s not true, because we are winning. But after the Italian Cup final, I read a newspaper which is very close with Inter. One journalist wrote that Inter probably would sack me. In that moment I realised maybe it was true. I don’t know whether it’s true or not.

City have improved as a club today.

Mancini's a dope. Just an all round unspectacular, mediocre manager.

Is Pellegrini that much better?

He spent £200m at Madrid on Kaka, Benzema, Xabi Alonso and Ronaldo and won nothing.

He did well at Villareal and has done well at Malaga but I'd be sticking with Mancini if he's the only man available to them. 1 Intertoto cup is the only trophy he's won in Europe.

Mancini spent half a billion.

But he's proven himself that he can actually win the League, it might of been a fluke or a freak end to the season but he's done it.

I just think it's a bit rash to sack him after 1 bad season.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

The thing is that Mancini is a dreadful manager of players. It's clear that he has lost the dressing room at City, he has no respect for his players and treats them like robots (with the exception of Balotelli). They clearly all loathe him and that alone is reason enough to change it. The terrible performance in Europe, signings and languid style of football are all icing on the cake.

Massive story for Southampton if this is true. Cortese threatens to leave the club. Follow @BenSmithBBC for details and insight #SaintsFC

Ushojax should coach City, just for fun.

I see where you're coming from and if that's the case and it's too far to go back then I honestly think the man they should be going for is.

Rafa.

Let the muppetry begin. Would take both of them.

City should hire Rafa. Better CV, experienced in the league, already lives close by, proven to be a genius in Europe.

Signing Eriksen would probably be the end of Shelvey I would imagine. He won't get into the team ahead of Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Lucas, Coutinho and then Eriksen, and he's too good for U21 football.

Loan/sell and buy Wanyama? Would go for that.

He was a good tone setter in the first half of the season, his work rate standing out amongst the crowd whilst Lambert was still trying to find a natural formation for us, although he was at fault defensively a couple of times.

Once January came around and we settled in to a 4-3-3 he doesn't really fit any more. He doesn't have the physicality or calmness on the ball to be one of the central trio and lacks the dynamism to knock Agbonlahor or Weimann out of the side.

Now he's a good squad player who we can call upon to close a game out, but not if we're chasing a game. Unfortunately for him we've been doing a lot of chasing recently so his skillset hasn't really seen him as someone to turn to from the bench.

Alderweireld isn't better than Pool's current CB's.
Carragher is retiring and I think Skrtel is leaving despite what Brenny said. Coates starting ahead of him yesterday would suggest that.
City should hire Rafa. Better CV, experienced in the league, already lives close by, proven to be a genius in Europe.
And he may very well be the last manager ever to win against Ferguson #hero
