PM's job safe....

well, until the end of the season anyway.

I personally think that if City go out of the FA Cup and are too far behind Chelsea in the PL race, then the top brass will start putting the wheels in motion to get a replacement. Until that point, i reckon he's pretty safe.

His objectives for the season were clearly:

1 - get out of the group in the CL and progress further than last season

- so far, we have been nothing short of pathetic in that competition and will struggle to get out of the group stages

2 - retain the PL title

- as it stands we are miles behind a Chelsea that have improved their squad, so hanging on to the fact we were 8 points behind United one season, Arsenal last....won't stand up this season

3 - a domestic cup or a good run to Wembley in either or both

- embarrassingly out of the C1C and only left with the FA Cup

So....for me, it's not a question of if, more when they decide to make the change.

A public vote of confidence seals his fate for me. The last thing they want is more pressure on him whilst they look for his replacement. 3rd in the PL is an absolute must.
