Mancini – We want to be like Chelsea!

The Man City coach Roberto Mancini believes that he will find it easier to entice big players to the Eastlands next season if his team succeed in their chase for the coveted fourth Champions League spot.

And he wants City to emulate Chelsea by becoming one of the biggest clubs in Europe. “A lot of players could come here next season if we play in the Champions League,” he said. “I think Manchester City can be a very important team in the future.

“We could become a bigger threat than Chelsea. We work for this because we want to be like them or, if possible, even better. I would like to think we can become one of Europe’s top clubs next season.”

You may make Man City into a good team one day, Roberto, but it won’t be next season!
