A fan's review of the 2013/14 Premier League season
The 2013/14 season is done and Manchester City have pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title.Here is a club wise review of the top clubs inthe season gone by.
#1 How Manuel Pellegrini did a Jose
Despite the title, Manuel Pelligrini's entry into England was the exact opposite to that of Jose Mourinho. Calm and composed, Manuel Pelligrini knew what he was appointed to do. And he justified all odds by winning what two trophies. A League Cup and Premier League double in your first season is as dreamy as it gets. Two domestic trophies. 100+ goals. What else could he have asked for?
In the beginning though, results were poor away from home. And at the same time they spared no one at home. Midway into the season they still were favourites. The 2011-12 champions' experience eventually got them over the line. Now it's about time they started taking the Champions League seriously as well.
They can be a force to be reckoned in Europe. But such is the nature of modern football that if this season's success is not followed by more success next season, he might get the sack as Roberto Mancini did. Things are different though. Both inside the club and on the pitch. And he would be hoping that this continues.
