Roberto Mancini ready to concede title to United

[Shola Sholaz]

Roberto Mancini says Manchester City are continuing to make progress under his leadership even though he is ready to concede the Premier League title race this weekend.
.
City will start Sunday's home game with Chelsea 15 points behind Manchester United if Alex Ferguson's leaders win at bottom club Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
.
Should that happen, and City fail to defeat Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, then Mancini says the title race will be over, with 11 games remaining after the weekend.
.
Yet whatever the outcome, the Italian says City are making progress and he will only quit if he can no longer move them forward.
.
"If I didn't win for two or three years I would say to the club 'I don't want to stay' because after two or three years of not winning, I would leave," said Mancini.
.
"I couldn't continue to stay here. But I think that what we did in the last two years is important for the club.
.
"Nine months ago we won the Premier League. Six months ago we won the Community Shield.
.
"Now we have another two chances. Maybe the Premier League will be difficult, but we have the FA Cup.
.
"Hopefully, if we can take second place, that would not be a bad season, like United last year.
.
"I don't think I can stay here 10 years, it's impossible for me.
