if true it says all you need to know about city....i give up. how is this going to help anybody ??
you can put mourinho in charge with 200million and it still wouldnt guarantee chumps league....and i for one DONT want to be like chelsea.

There is only one word if we get rid of Sven - LUNACY.

The worlds gone mad

Absolutely unbelievable. No wonder Taggart laughs at City.

Frank needs to be made aware of the strength of feeling over this. At this rate, I will be pushing up the daisies before City win another trophy.

Its an absolute disgrace that there's a possibility of Sven leaving.

If he leaves now then thats the final nail in the coffin for the club. We've lost control to a man who knows nothing about football and the culture of Manchester City.

I feel very sorry for Sven. He has shown this year what a great manager he is. I feel ashamed of the attitudes of Mr Shinawatra and a small section of our fans.

My Portuguese auntie's ex husband used to write for O Jogo - he has reliably informed that the Scolari story is a smoke screen - the real news is Jose Mourinho is on his way - in Sven we trusted BUT Jose, now there's a thought - let the games begin...Jose has unfinished business in England and would love to carry on his feud with Fergie and Rafa and the rest.

We will never change as a club. we are on the verge of something big then this happens. Dr T had better have something good up his sleeve.

No Way! I can't believe this is true.

Sven is our best hope of turning around a dire 30 years in the clubs history.

I must say though I think Frank wants a full stadium???? well sacking Sven will not get this.

Fans are behind Sven, if he is sacked not sure I will renew my Citycard and I have supported City since I first went to a game in 1969.

I back Sven 100%, think there could be a player exodus if this happens as they seem to back Sven.

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous if it happens.

Just when I thought I could have a nice relaxing summer looking optimistically forward to the new season....

Unbelievable.

I am very worried now. What manager is going to work for a club whos owner clearly sticks his oar in? Thats why Mourinho left Chelsea. Does anyone in their right mind think that Mourinho or anyone like him will come to City knowing that Frank wants a front row seat in the running of the team?

Before its too late Frank, back off, let the manager manage and you get on with business side of the club.

Unbelievable

Isn't it time we started organising. Get Bernstein back involved, and raise the money to buy him out. What we, the fans, need to do is demonstrate the unacceptability of Shinawatra's behaviour.

This cannot happen.
Timing is suspect - no homes games to demonstrate at.Highest ever points haul & he's getting binned.I hope not.

Oh well,that's that then.
I really thought we were on to something here for the first time since god knows when.I was wrong.
So now what? New coach,of course he won't want any of Sven's buys will he? Which means another complete overhaul of all staff. Start from scratch again.THIS CLUB
IS A JOKE.

Doctor Shinawatra....., This is our club, the fans have been here over a 100 years. Sven is our manager, listen to the VOICE OF THE CLUB..., the fans as you did your own people back home. We like him, he will bring success. You back him, the fans will back you, don't and it will not be comfortable for you. For those of us going to Liverpool on Sunday I think 90 minutes of Sven support is in order.., not that Dr T will be there but the message will get through. SOS......., SAVE OUR SVEN.

If this is true my football club has been reduced, once again, to a laughing stock. Absolutely disgraceful.

This reveals more about our new owner than anything else - and I for one am not happy with what I see. Yes, I can see he is desperate for success and will do anything to achieve that, but he has to look at the building process we have already started. You can't just buy players and staff and win the Premier League in one season - unless you are also very lucky.
If Sven goes and we don't do much better next season that we did under Sven, which is a real possibility if we disrupt things, then the fans will get angry.
We are a much better team than last year and our progress has been fantastic under Sven & Dr Shinawatra. Why change? Our 2nd half slump just showed that we need more strength and quality in depth, and we still will get a top half finish.
I wouldn't blame Sven for just walking away. Trouble is, I think Dunnie would walk too. Get it together Frank, come out and support the guy who YOU appointed as YOUR choice to take us to the top OVER 3 YEARS!

god's own club is once again a laughing stock.we have a really good season,achieve our best points tally in the premier league,do the double over man u for the first time in 34 years and this is made possible by sven,a manager who had very little time to build a team.
sven needs time,3 years minimum.if he goes it will be a very sad day for this club as we will lose the best manager we have had in ages.
frank needs to take a back seat as theres not a lot that sven doesn't know about running a football team,he has proved it time and time again in different countries.
frank has the money (alledgedly)but not the soccer knowhow or contacts.leave sven to do his part of the 3 year plan.1st year was to finish in top ten,job done.sven needs to be left alone to sort out all soccer related issues including possible transfer targets and who picks the team.
sven had great support on saturday as fans appreciate what a good manager he is and the progress he and the team have made,left alone he could become a great manager for city.unfortunately,i dont think he will be the manager of mcfc next season.its our loss,not his.

Despite all the writings this is still surprising to me. Maybe he's got a big name alternative up his sleeves. On the other hand, I think that the praise in the video clib is somewhat over the top, I mean they talk like he's won the league for us. As does many on here. Lets not be blind and think that he is the right answer. We've had a good season but there is much to improve. At the end of the day, I think that Frank is angry that Sven has squandered over £20 million of his money on players who havent settled or made a difference.

well it will be another day of speculation and the sven beaters getting their comments in. personally i think this is madness, i like many was apprehensive when sven was appointed but i am now glad he cam and although admittedly we haven't had the best second half to the season we have improved on last year which is what we all wanted initially, granted expectations grew after the great start and like any normally person we wanted more, that hasn't come to fruition but people now can't wait to have a go at every poor result or thing that goes wrong, but can't seem to give praise where it is due when a good performance is shown. everybody is entitled to their opinion but at the end of the day we all want what we believe is best for the club. Dr T might own it but at the end of the day it is ours the fans, because without us it is worthless, i do agree it is now more about the business and the money but it will always come back to the fans because that is where the money comes from, it is great having the plans to go global, but surely the homegrown born and bred blues need to be the ones that are listened to first. fans in thailand might well buy a shirt every season but they will not be at the ground week in week out will they.

i also agree with alot of comments regarding stability, we just haven't had for so many years, you cannot build a team in 1 year and expect miracles, without going over all the names all the succesful clubs have had stability and money to spend.

i believe sven is moving us in the right direction and if indeed he does leave then i will not be happy about it at all and if you think that Big Sam Allardyce SCOLARI will do better and provide flowing attractive football then think again, even Mouriniho didn't provide that at chelsea hence why he was replaced, the chairman thought he was boring even though he did win things.

just hope this is sorted soon as i am sick of city being paraded around the press as being in turmoil all the time.

MEN get into the club and be journalists istead of just leaching on to all the other stories from other sources, the M does stand for MANCHESTER doesn't it?

I'm fuming. If this is true then this is ridiculous. Never in a month of Sunday's were we going to get Champions league this season, let alone been dead-certs for Europe. The squad needed more investment than was possible last summer. I think every City fan is happy with this season - yes there've been some fustrating results (like Saturday when the ground was obviously hostile to the 2nd half performance) but hey, this squad was assembled on deadline day last summer.

Lets have a bit of realism. Chelsea investment maybe 2 or 3 times as much money as we did, and had a far better squad to start with - that's why they were able to challenge for Europe/league and we weren't. Sven wasn't the reason.

Replacing Sven....mmmm, what does that bring? well firstly, removal of one of the most successful club managers ever....uncertainty, possibly unrest amongst the squad (people who Sven bought in/who like Sven may look to leave - stawlwarts like Dunne possibly already are due to the uncertainty), anger amongst the fans and oh....yep....if its Scolari we'll have a manager who has about 3 weeks to buy players after Euro 2008....reminiscent of last summer and that got us to Europe didn't it....

Thaksin.....Don't you dare get rid of Sven, are you MAD??? He's the best we've had in ages and if we didn't have him already, he'd be on my managerial wish list any day. If he goes it will haunt us, i'm tellin' ya!

Absolutely ridiculous..... Here we go again sailing along like a listing ship ready to go under.... Unfortunately football is all business related these days... I've been watching now for 32 years and thought we were about to gain some stability... But hey this is City after all.

If the good Doctor, or his "advisers" reads these comments "DON'T DO IT" you'll have to pay him off and seeing as he has done what you asked £4-6M compensation would look after the academy for 5 years and to me loosing that amount would be very bad business.

As for the boy blues well done last night fellas...If those lads become our "team of 99" then we have a very bright future indeed....

Frank and Sven..."I hope" Fide et Fiducia

I think the following extracts from Dante's devine comedy should be inscribed above all the entrances to the COMS:-

Through me you pass into the city of woe:

Through me you pass into eternal pain:

Through me among the people lost for aye.

Before me things create were none,

save things Eternal, and eternal I endure.

All hope abandon ye who enter here.

The supposed inscription at the entrance to Hell.

COMS - HELL is there a difference?

When is this eternal failure,at all levels within the club going to stop?

I bought 4 season tickets because of Sven-they can stay empty for me,our club is out of control to a man whos is more interested in support from the far east!The turnstile customer doesnt matter to this dictator,Mourinho is our only answer-will he come?No chance.
