Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is determined to build a lasting legacy at Eastlands having already done 'the hard work'.
In his first full season in charge the Italian has success in his sights on two fronts.
City are on course for a place in the Champions League for the first time and aim to step up their bid against struggling West Ham on Sunday.
They also face Stoke in the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 14 with a chance to end a 35-year wait for a major trophy.
However, if City fail to reach any of those targets the ambitious owners may feel compelled to act and bring in a new man.
Mancini would be devastated if that happened and said: "After all the hard work during the first year and a half to build the basics I would be very disappointed to leave and for someone else to take it on."
Meanwhile Mancini has asked City fans to respect their Manchester United counterparts and not sing songs about the Munich air crash.
The 1-0 win at Blackburn on Monday was marred by chants about the 1958 tragedy which claimed the lives of 23 people.
Mancini: "I did not hear this. I do not know this situation but we should have respect for what happened many years ago. The rivalry is good on the pitch, only on the pitch."
