La vittoria per 2-1 ottenuta sul campo dei rivali del Man Utd, ormai lanciati verso il titolo in EPL, è inutile quanto prestigiosa per il City, il cui manager Mancini rilancia le ambizioni del club affermando che esso tornerà a lottare per il primo posto sino dalla prossima stagione. Il calcio scozzese, afflitto, almeno al vertice, da seri problemi economici sembra destinato a bocciare la cervellotica idea della SPL che vorrebbe formare le leghe per la prossima stagione secondo una ripartizione 12-12-18 ( poi le prime ventiquattro squadre dopo ventidue partite si suddividerebbero in tre gironi da otto ). Dopo il Ross County anche il St. Mirren ha detto che voterà contro e con l’opposizione di due squadre non ci sarebbe la maggioranza richiesta per l’approvazione. A margine della trasferta del Lincoln a Nuneaton 87 tifosi sono stati fermati e rilasciati su cauzione. Un pub ha subito rilevanti danni.
Man City can win title next season – Roberto Mancini
Roberto Mancini says Manchester City can regain the Premier League title next season, having written off their hopes for the current campaign.
“We know we can win the title next season but this year we made some mistakes. It is unfortunate but we can do nothing. This season the title is gone”
Roberto Mancini Manchester City manager
City trail league leaders Manchester United by 12 points after beating their local rivals 2-1 at Old Trafford.
“We know we can win the title next season but this year we made some mistakes,” the City manager declared.
“It is unfortunate, we can do nothing. This season the title is gone.”
Substitute Sergio Aguero’s brilliant late individual goal gave City their second successive win at United, who remain on course to win their 20th title.
“The championship is finished,” added Italian Mancini.
“United have won a lot of games and they lost their last game against Norwich in November, a long time ago.”
Mancini was delighted with how his side performed in the derby win, saying: “We are happy. We played well and we deserved to win.
“We dominated the other game against Manchester United at the Etihad but lost and I didn’t know how it was possible. But that is football; today is the same.
“It was important for us to take second position but I think we showed we don’t deserve to stay 15 points behind.
“They have had more consistency in this championship because they won more games but instead we lost points when we probably deserved to win.
Talking tactics
“City’s line-up, with only one recognised striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation, did not look that attacking at first, but Carlos Tevez helped them take control of the game with his play in United’s half. He kept dropping deep to collect the ball and, every time it went into him, he held it up.”
“We showed we deserved to stay closer to the title but it is finished. If we lose the title by 15, 12 or 18 points, it does not change anything.”
Mancini claimed his squad had been undermined by injury problems as he said: “This season we had some problems with players injured. We are not a team that can lose three or four players.
“We can’t lose Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany together. We are not so strong that we can lose three or four players like this.”
Looking ahead to the summer, he added: “We have got three months where we can work well and improve our team.”
David Silva, meanwhile, is a serious doubt for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley after being forced off with a hamstring injury at Old Trafford.

St Mirren slam SPL plan
ST MIRREN chairman Stewart Gilmour last night explained why he sounded the death knell for the SPL’s flawed reconstruction plans.
The Saints will vote against the 12-12-18 set-up for senior football
next season after slamming plans for a mid-season split and the desire to keep the 11-1 voting structure in the top flight.
Now, if Ross County stick to their guns and join Saints in voting against the plan next Monday at a meeting of the top 12 chairmen, the motion will fall and Scottish football will again be plunged into a state of crisis over the format of our top divisions.
On many counts we don’t believe that this plan serves the interest of us or the Scottish game well.
If the plan bites the dust, then a scramble from desperate First Division clubs to bring about SPL2 will be back on the agenda, which could lead to civil war among lower-league clubs.
But Gilmour reckons he had no option but to go against the plan. He said: “The board of St Mirren are sure of our stance. We have consulted a great deal with supporters, the coaching staff and they have all said the same thing.
“We don’t believe in maintaining the 11-1 voting structure and we don’t believe in the 8-8-8 split after 22 games
.
“Every club has to look at this in terms of their own view and for the betterment of Scottish football.
“On many counts we don’t believe that this plan serves the interest of us or the Scottish game well.”
Saints would prefer a top league of 14 clubs – something endorsed by many fans who voted in an SFA survey into the state of the game, although the largest grouping, at 51 per cent, would prefer a 16-team SPL.
Out of a survey of 7,000 fans, 87 per cent of fans wanted an increase in the number of teams in the top league.
The heat will now be turned up on other SPL clubs to show their hands before the planned vote and also on SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster, who boasted of a united front when unveiling the plans earlier this year.
Should the SPL clubs fail to give the green light to the 12-12-18 plans next week, then there will be no need for an SFL vote on the motion.
SPL chiefs last night remained tight-lipped while SFL supremo David Longmuir declined to comment on the developments as he prepared for today’s board meeting, which has Dunfermline’s crisis at the top of the agenda
