City Terminate Pearce's Contract

Not to be outdone by Wigan again this season, City have just announced they have terminated Psycho's contract.

Can't say this is a total surprise and this swift move means they agony wont be prolonged any longer in what has been one of the most painful seasons for a while. It will also heighten speculation that the Thai takeover is now very close.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for Pearce as deep-down he's a gentleman and genuinely decent guy, but sadly not a great manager. At least he'll be spared the task of firing Barton, although he was probably looking forward to it.

We can now look forward to a summer of speculation and rumour ..... roll on next season !

For a change the Board have taken decisive action quickly and after the last 2 years, was the only action available to them.

All the best Stuart, you tried, but ultimately the job was too big for you

The easy job has been done now the hard job of finding a suitable replacement....I think to compete at the top they must look to the Continent for the next Manager.
