My abiding memory of that season was Mancini putting Ferguson in his place on the touch line at the Etihad when we beat them 1-0.
Ferguson had ruled the roost for 20 years with no one daring to even remotely stand up to him. Bobby went toe to toe with him and from
that moment on we knew something had changed. Bobby had ripped down the banner the previous season and then this. It was the begining
of the end for Ferguson and I will never forget the look on his face when Bobby told him how it was! He shuffled off looking shocked & confused
like a heavy weight boxer who had eventually taken to many punches. We owe Mancini a great debt for what he did and in the timescale he did it in.
He wasn't everyone's cup of tea at the end but he is true & genuine MCFC legend and always will be.
Hear hear
