Mancini to get 150-mn pounds to boost Man City

Friday, May 14, 2010, 16:45 [IST]

London, May 14 (ANI): Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour has given manager Roberto Mancini a mandate for change at the club.

Sheikh Mansour told Mancini to set up a team that can bring City out of failure and win silverware.

Mancini will have anything up to 150 million pounds to achieve the dream of a Premier League title, The Sun reports.

The fact City has failed to win anything since the 1976 League Cup makes the challenge tough for Mancini.

He believes City has already shown they can match the top three of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Mancini said: "We were very strong against all of them this season. It shows we have a good mentality - and this is important." (ANI)
