Pellegrini, a weak manager- Toure's agent

Manchester - Manchester City manager
Manuel Pellegrini refused to be drawn into a
war of words with Yaya Toure's outspoken
agent after a 2-0 win over West Ham kept
his side on course for a Champions League
place.
However, Sunday's victory at Eastlands was
marred by an injury to David Silva, who was
taken to hospital with a suspected fractured
cheekbone and injured collar bone.
But before kick-off there was another
headache for under-pressure City boss
Pellegrini following incendiary comments
from Dimitri Seluk.
Toure's agent branded Pellegrini a "weak
manager" and accused the club's Spanish
executives Ferran Sorriano and Txiki
Begiristain of failing to take responsibility
and blaming his client for City's problems
this season.
Pellegrini, when asked to respond to Seluk's
claims, would only say "no comment".
But the latest potential disagreement with
Toure will only cast more uncertainty on the
the Ivory Coast international's City future.
