Bolton and Wigan...

...punched above their weight for a decade.
So Swansea and Southampton have held their own, in a tough league for a couple of seasons. I don't see that as a model for City.
Foreign manager, foreign players, foreign footy...all at our fingertips, but, I would hate having a manager who can't speakah de Anglais, si?

I say keep Hoots. I don't think he's done too badly. Sacking managers half way through a season doesn't necessarily breed success.
