Pellegrini Out?

The Manchester City season thus far has been disappointing to say the least. Without a trophy and a slim chance of even getting one this season is a very bad position to be in for a club of our size. Due to this disappointing season fingers have to be pointed: is it the manager, the backroom staff or even the players themselves?
Personally I think that as a team, during every preseason, you must build on last season and look to change for the better to make for more trophies. However we have lacked any consistency and no improvements have been made since last year. As a team of our size we should be pushing for the champions league we have won the premier league now its time to step up. That's just not the case!
Whenever we come up against the big European clubs we just can't seem to do it.
Now if we are to see any change I really think we need a change of manager. But would it be right to sack Pellegrini? After all he did win us the title. But is that enough any more when we only make it past the group stage in the champions league? If we begin to look at what Pellegrini has done previously in the first place was he ever the right man to get us far in the trophy we want most? He has managed great teams, even Real Madrid but still couldn't even make it past the round of 16 being eliminated by Olympic Lyon.
It's one thing to point a finger at Pellegrini and say "it's you're fault" but then we need to take into account who is the person that can take us far in the Champions league. For me it's simple and it's all about the experience they have in the competition. You need a manager that know the winning formula to beat the teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munchen. The man that fits this bill perfectly, in my opinion, is Diego Simeone. He single handed turned Athletico Madrid into a title winning team with Barcelona and Real Madrid to contest with. Not an easy feat. Not to mention getting to the champions league final. Simeone is the full package he has: the ability to make good transfers;knowledge and experience against two of our European rivals and the drive and passion to win.
