Tevez is now refusing to fly back from Argentina saying he isn't fit enough.
We had all this 'Man City are about to implode' stuff last season and the season before that. And if it isn't Man City about to implode, it's Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal and whoever.None of these clubs is going to implode any time soon...
What they need to do is say to any manager, be it Mancini or a new bloke, just work with what you've got for the season and then tell us who you want rid of. You then get a more solid base to buy and likely find that's it's two or three additions, as opposed to another large influx, and they come into a settled side with a manager firmly in his position. It won't happen, but that's what I would do!
In fairness to Mancini when he arrived in last Nov he gave the then current line up plenty of time to prove themselves. I think he only signed Viera on a cheap deal and Johnson from Boro in Jan, so it was virtually the same squad that Hughes left him with for the bulk of that campaign. Hardly a revolution.
We'll see how much they have imploded in December and January when we play them twice with our 2-8-0 formation

Silva's not bad Tim - that is if you are watching him against Wolves or Blackpool. If he was that good, he wouldn't be at City I'm afraid. There's a reason he is not at the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid...
