Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli visits his old club Inter Milan to wish its caretaker manager, Andrea Stramaccioni, good luck as he replaces the fired Claudio Ranieri.

SHINE ON, YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. (This shall be my official tag for all Balotelli posts from here on out.)

The Northern Irishman will resign next July after saving his beloved Black Cats from relegation once he realizes he did sign on to a club that’s trying to contain its spending and turnover. I’m not saying Steve Bruce didn’t deserve to be sacked. I’m surprised he got it before Steve Kean did, but he did deserve it. O’Neill did keep Villa challenging in the top half, but financial stewardship isn’t his strong point as a manager.
