Miguel Delaney: Pellegrini will regret putting his trust in Manchester City’s old stagers

It was a statement that, perhaps, said more than Manuel Pellegrini intended. 

After Manchester City had defeated Roma in pre-season, the Chilean was asked for a message to the club’s support, with that question itself coming out of so much doubt about the manager’s future.

“The best thing for me to say is don’t change anything,” Pellegrini responded, rather conspicuously. “I think they [the supporters] enjoy the way the team plays so we’ll try to give them as much happiness as we can… trust in the team.”
