How would you feel if Mancini went to Chelsea? | Now linked with United (p10) and Forest (p14)

Would be devastated if he went to that shithole.

I hope he’d have more integrity than to rock up there with those green and gold wankers.

Taggart shat himself again and nearly had a thrombo, he packed it in not long after.

He just looked a pissed up old man tbh.and bitter.

Remember he'd taken his team to Wales for a few days of pre match team bonding or something similar
The press hyped it up as inspirational coaching or words similar.

it was an experiment that went wrong......and the fall out between the managers has to be looked at In context.....utd,the reigning champions of England,retreat to Wales.to relax and escape the pressure and tension of the pre match build up....But it completely failed.Mancini who kept the Blues in Manchester that week.completly negated anything utd had ...to offer on the night...
And I think the incident exploded on the touchline just after scholes had been booked, ferguson,at that moment in time,knew that Bobby Manc had tactically outclassed him ,and the jaunt to wales had been a waste of time..........The pressure got to Fergie so much,running away from your noisy neighbours to Wales and turning up without a shot on target in the 1st half....That wounded the Scotsman,and all he could do was berate the ref and eventually our manager....it was the last throw of the dice and he could see it falling apart...

City were utterly in control that night.

At half time in the South stand Id never ever seen so many Blues be so relaxed ahead of the 2ndhalf...we'd all seen what Ferguson saw.......Utd bottled it.Didnt have the balls to turn up at our ground and put in a performance of Champions elect....... City bossed the midfield .game over.
After letting in 6 at home to us,earlier in the season ,the famous man utd turned up at our ground like worried sheep.terrified of Silva Yaya and Augero.
The mind games hadn't worked. And Chris " City will crack " Smalling was proved wrong,just like his manager.
If you feel under immense pressure..don't run away to Wales.
Stand your ground..in your home City.

Sir Joe Mercer and Pep are both above Bobby for me.

Hard to disagree that. And I do like a debate and our Bobby Manc.
But from what I've read and learned about City in the 60s and early 70s
Joe Mercer must have been a man mountain as a manager.
And yet...I still have to say, Mancini didn't have the help of confident innoventive experiecened. Coach like Malcom Allison.
So maybe Mancini does still edge it.
I really can't say

Joe was a perfect gentleman.

He even forgave Malcolm for siding with Peter fucking Swales and moving him "upstairs" to become general manager.

Biggest mistake Allison ever made. And there were a lot of mistakes in Big Mal's career.

And times had changed by the time Bobby arrived at City. There are coaches for every aspect of a player's development nowadays. Then, it was just Joe and Mal.

There is an elephant in the room here of course. Ferguson won the league the next season despite having an inferior squad and Mancini got sacked.
