# City To Swoop For Top 4 Manager

[![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/latchley10.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/latchley10.jpg) This surfaced this morning on Manchester City’s finest unofficial forum, Bluemoon.

***‘Listen do not believe what the media and the chairman are telling us.\
Because as my friend and former work colleague of the club reiterated to\
me again today that Mancini’s days are numbered.***

***It is not performance related is what she has since told me and that it\
is just his face does not fit with certain board members. They want\
a homegrown manager and I know you will not like hearing this but\
they will definitely make an approach for Harry Redknapp. She said they\
will make a huge offer for him.***

***She is still adamant this will happen early next season but if they could\
push it through this summer they would do But there is a lot of red tape\
and legal matters before they get to this stage.***

***There is no reason for her to lie to me as i have known her for a very\
long time. And so I am getting use to the idea that Mancini is not going\
to be a long term manager for us of which i am disappointed as i like the\
guy and think he is a talented coach.***

***But it is Shiek Mansour’s club now and he can do what he likes.She told\
me it was Shiek Mansour who told Khaldoon to relieve Hughes of his duties\
as he was not happy with the way things were going. She only told me that\
today. And I will not have a bad word said about Shiek Mansour after everything\
he has done with for the club.’***

Is this rubbish? Well, we know that Mancini isn’t staying, but perhaps *this week’s* powers that be at City don’t realize that Harry doesn’t do commuting well.
