Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester City, a Manuel Pellegrini, ka hiahia pea te karapu ki te peke atu ano i tenei raumati kia rite ki o raatau hoa whakataetae. Me te tumanako ki te pupuri i te karauna Barclays Premier League e titiro haere ana ki te kore, kua kore ano a City ki te hanga i runga i te angitu taitara. Heoi, i raru rātau i te raumati o te tau kua hipa, i te whiu mō te takahi i ngā ture o te Financial Fair Play o te rōpū whakahaere o Ūropi o UEFA tae atu ki te £49 miriona mōrahi whakapaunga pūtea. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester City, ko Manuel Pellegrini, e tohe ana kia whakapaua e tana kapa te moni i te raumati. I kii a Pellegrini me haina e Manchester City tetahi kaitakaro 'pupuhi' penei i te kaikawe a Sergio Aguero. I tēnei wā kei te tuawha a Man City i te Pirimia Rōpū. Ko te hokinga atu ki te whakapaunga nui o te waa i muri tonu i te tango a Sheikh Mansour i te tau 2008, kaore i te mea he waahanga, i te wehi ki te tono i nga whiu kaha ake, engari kua whakatupato a Pellegrini kaore e taea te noho humarie. I korero tata mai a Pellegrini mo te hiahia ki te haina i tetahi kaitakaro 'kino' - i etahi atu kupu he superstar o te kaha o te kaiwhaiwhai a Sergio Aguero - a kua kii inaianei ko tenei raumati te wa ki te mahi. Ko te Chilean, ko tana kapa kua heke ki te tuawha o nga waahi i mua i te haerenga o te Mane ki Crystal Palace, i kii: 'Na, koinei noa te huarahi o te whakaaro, me haina e nga kapa nui tetahi kaitakaro nui. He tino uaua ki te mahi i ia tau - engari me mahi ia rua tau. Ehara i te mea ko Manchester City anake taku e korero nei. Ka kite koe i a Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona me Bayern Munich - ko nga karapu nunui katoa - e mahi katoa ana ratou. He mea nui kia whai ingoa nui.' I te mea ko te pouri o nga waitohu matua o te raumati o te tau kua hipa - ko Fernando, Bacary Sagna me Eliaquim Mangala - ko nga kupu a Pellegrini ka kitea hei tono mo te moni nui atu. Engari i te wā i akiakihia ai ia, kaore pea a Pellegrini i te miharo, i te mea e kore e taea e tana ake tūnga, kaore ia e ki atu mēnā ka whakaaetia te whakapaunga moni. E whakapono tonu ana a Pellegrini ka taea e tana kapa Manchester City te pupuri i te taitara Premier League. Ka mea ia: 'E kore ahau e hiahia ki te kōrero...
E whakapono ana a Manuel Pellegrini me haina e Man City tētahi whetū o te ao. E mea ana te tangata o Hīlia he mea nui kia tāpae i te moni i ia tau e rua. I kawea mai e City a Eliaquim Mangala, Fernando me Bacary Sagna i te raumati. Ka tūtaki a Manchester City ki a Crystal Palace i Selhurst Park i te pō o te Mane.
