First of all, my apologies to any readers I may have. I’ve been a bad blogger. I’ll try to post more often.

A lot has been going on for Manchester City as of late. Manager Stuart “Psycho” Pearce has been sacked, two potential ownership groups have looked into buying out the club, and the hunt has been on to replace Pearce. Well, now the hunt for a new coach is over

Claudio Ranieri has resigned as manager of Italian Serie A side Parma, and is set to take over at Eastlands in the coming weeks. This is fantabulous news. Ever since I found out he was a candidate for the job, I’ve been crossing my fingers in hopes that he gets the job. But it’s not all good news…there’s one part of the article that scares me

Ranieri told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport: “The Manchester City challenge reminds me of the experience I had at Chelsea where without spending £1, we built a good team.

This makes me think that the new owner (form Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra) isn’t interested in spending any more money on talent than Wardle/Makin did. Boo. They really need to spend some money on quality players.

In any case, next season should be interesting to say the least
