MANCHESTER City fans in the Prestwich and Whitefield branch have quickly voiced their opinions following the news that manager Kevin Keegan has left the club.

Andy Miles, aged 33, said: "Here we go again, off on a magical mystery tour of who will be our next manager. If they don't have somebody really good lined up, then you have to ask have the board got this right?"

David Sidebottom, 41, of Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, said: "It's back to the drawing board. I've been a supporter for well over 30 years and it seems like every time we get a bit of stability, we majestically implode."

Karl Brookes, 31, of Buile Hill, Manchester, who watched his first City game when he was five, said: "I think we're kidding ourselves with talk of Martin O'Neill taking over. I'd like to see Stuart Pearce being given a proper chance.

"Hopefully, he'll get rid of some of the overpaid ones with nothing left to prove and bring in some of the kids who clearly want to play for the shirt."
