Bad move IMO, he's improved them a lot but isn't going to deliver instant success

I'm not the guys biggest fan, but imo he's done a decent job in his first season.

What a fucking idiot that chairman really is, they have finished top 10, beaten their closest rivals home and away, got more points than any other manager for city in the premiership and he sacks him
What a massive mistake that is

This is the flip side to the major foreign investment. Man United have had their problems, Liverpool have had theirs and now it looks like Man City is run by a dictator.

Very bad move IMO. Chairman is a dick, the team will do a lot worse next season.

Hearts are now a farce, they have greater debts than Celtic and Rangers combined which they can't begin to afford to service, are going nowhere on the playing field, the chairman picks the team and he's filled the squad with useless Lithuanians

He'll spend big money again, possibly try for someone like Lippi although i'd be suprised if he went to City
He will definately try to attract as big a name as eriksson though, and probably sack him when the new manager still doesn't break into the top 4

thats what i mean, i can see man city going the same way. I've never liked man city any way so it doesn't bother me tbh.

You might want to re-evaluate that in the short term as when Romanov leave's and puts the club under due to the fact he's transferred every penny of their debt to his own bank there will be no Hearts

Will be a few more quid getting loaded into Ukio with this new main stand too.
And you can't just change teams
Off topic, perhaps, but how come Liverpool are your EPL team???

Worst footballing decision I've ever seen! Seriously!
Man City have always been this shit team from Manchester that floated above the relegation zone occasionally beating United in derbys but never going anywhere.
This Thai crook comes along, appoints Eriksson who brings in some class players out of nowhere and at one stage of the season had them challenging for Europe! Of course they weren't going to get in to the UEFA Cup at their first crack, teams like Everton and Villa have come on loads in recent seasons and it would have been a big ask of City to get above them.
Hes brought in class players like Petrov and Bianchi, who I'd never heard of before and they've gelled in the Premiership perfectly. I'd have Petrov at United.
I'm not one to defend Ericsson after the WC but hes done a bloody good job at City! Shinawatra is an idiot!!
