Kidd in shock over sacking

What has gone on in the last 24 hours was a shock to the staff, and before the game I would have just taken the result, to get the three points and take second place.

"It's all credit to the players - they are the ones who have had to put up with stuff off the pitch.I am pleased for them because it would have been a travesty if we hadn't finished second.

I was asked to take charge for two games, and, being a Manchester lad, I couldn't say no. I wouldn't have been able to walk down Market Street if I had.

– Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd

City fans react to Mancini departure

Mancini's faults now outweigh his positives, for me. I like him and he's done well, but I don't think he was capable of moving us forward.
