4 HRS AGO - • Chief executive says City failed to evolve under Mancini• Pellegrini expected to be confirmed as City manager on 3 JuneThe incoming Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has been told by the club's chief executive that they are expecting him to preside over an extensive period of success at the Etihad Stadium, which includes wining five trophies in the next five years.Ferran Soriano added that he felt City had underachieved last season and that their football had not "evolved" under Roberto Mancini. Pellegrini is expected to be confirmed as Mancini's successor on 3 June after finishing the season in Spain with Málaga, and the Chilean has been given no illusions about what is expected of him once he arrives in Manchester."I think that next season is going to be much better. I am convinced about that," Soriano said. "It doesn't mean we are going to win one or two titles but in the grand scheme of things, if we look at the next five years and I could plan now, I would say I want Collapse

14 HRS AGO - The Royals have hit the skids while the Cleveland Indians go on a power play; Aroldis Chapman fills up on dessert; Gary Carter honored in Montreal; Major League Baseball in Blighty?Royals humbledThis was supposed to be the breakout season that fans in Kansas City had been waiting forever for, and for the first 27 games of the season, that prospect seemed like a distinct possibility. However, after a 17-10 start, their best early effort in recent history, the upstart Royals have faltered, winning just four of their previous 16 games. Whether or not this is just a bump in the road for a young KC team ready to rip it up is a question that will need more time to answer, but for now, the Royals have reverted to their doormat status, most recently dropping four straight one-run games, including a sweep at the hands of the Oakland A's and a loss to the lowly Astros. Veteran outfielder Jeff Francoeur told mlb.com:"At Spring Training, Ned [manager Yost] said you're going to hit a couple of Collapse

9 HRS AGO - Manchester City football fans never thought the end of the 2012-2013 season could end like this.It began with a remarkably destitute and abbreviated run in the Champions League.It continued with a pitiful, insufficient defense of the Premier League crown that saw the trophy repossessed by loathed Manchester United.And it finished with one of the saddest, weakest efforts to win an FA Cup that the storied prize has ever been witness to.Yes, the team finished second in the league and it boasted the stingiest defense in the league.All told, though, City's season fell far below their own expectations, not to mention those of the fans.So there are some awards to hand out.
