QPR boss Harry Redknapp says Manuel Pellegrini has no excuses if he messes up at Manchester City.
Redknapp wrote in The Sun: "I don't know much about Manuel Pellegrini but you would have to be a fool not to do well at City.
"Everything's in place - a brilliant squad, superb training facilities and stadium and an open chequebook to sign the world's best players. How can it not go well for you?
"I have heard that Pellegrini can be pretty ruthless, which in the old days of management wasn't a bad thing.
"But these days it can get you into trouble with the players and the board of directors.
"Players take praise and they should be able to take a knock too."
