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

I think that''s harsh. Mancini brought us some fantastic memories and to be described as a poor mans Jose is incredible. Don't understand the lack of love for the bloke from some blues.

How the hell is it harsh?

Has he won as much as Jose?mhow can he be described as anything else? In much the same way Pellegrini is a poor mans Pep.

Pep and Jose are the worlds two 'super coaches'

The lack of love comes from him holding a gun to the clubs head on the evening of our greatest success. He has love for himself, not the club nor his players.

I agree that they're the two above the rest when you look at what they've done at other clubs but what Mancini did for our club should hold him in higher regard by blues and calling him a poor mans Jose kind of belittles what he did while in charge. That's why I believe it's harsh.

Pep might come in and totally smash Mancini's achievements with regards how much we win and style of play but Roberto Mancini was the 1st manager since we could compete at the top level again to bring us success, that in my opinion deserves huge love and respect from blues.

He possibly got a bit too big for his boots in some of his bosses eyes but for me we'd be a better team now nearly 3 years on had we have kept him.
 
We can't worry about other teams' managers. We don't own him and you expect Chelsea to be challenging on all fronts, which they certainly would be with him there. But you know it won't last as eventually he'll upset just about everyone and Chelsea is a very different environment to City. Abramovich has his eyes and ears everywhere and there are others like Michael Emenalo, Marina Granovskaia and Eugene Tenenbaum who have a say in things and there's no CEO as such.

It might have changed since I had some good contacts there but in Kenyon's day, there were four people who could and would sign players, without talking to the others. So Kenyon signed SWP, Abramovich signed Shevchenko, Mourinho signed who he wanted and there was someone else, whose name escapes me, who was doing Emenalo's job and could also sign players.

If a control-freak like Mancini couldn't bring himself to work with Begiristain then he's really going to have problems at Stamford Bridge.

To be honest I love the guy, because of how he turned our team into a solid team of champions.

I'd hate to see him go to Chelsea, because we all know he'd turn them into a very good team again.
Much prefer he came back to us and if certain players don't like it, well they can f*ck off then!

Ditto. And therefore he will have my respect whatever he does (just don't ever go to trafford Bobby! that would be too much).

The 6-1 Demolition of Fergie's team and especially at OT is enough to convince me that Mancini belongs to the pantheon of great football managers. Mancini exposed the red nose fraud for what he is a poor football tactician and a FA officials Bully.
How can we easily forget that when the rags fans here and everywhere are still traumatized by that Humiliation of the century?
As those on our team who backstabbed him and 'ousted' him they remind me of the current batch of Chelsea players.
 
MANCIni would have build a great team and leave a football legacy at MANChester CIty just like ARSEne Wenger did with the Invincibles.

He was not given the opportunity to weed out those who are not good enough to take us to the promised land. Our loss.
 
Inter coach Roberto Mancini and the playing squad reportedly fell out during and after Sunday's 2-1 Serie A loss to Lazio.

Roberto Mancini has rubbished claims of a rift within the Inter squad following their defeat at home to Lazio.

Inter crashed to a 2-1 loss against Lazio on Sunday, which was followed by reports Mancini and some of his players were involved in a spat during and after the Serie A clash.

Felipe Melo conceded a penalty in the dying stages as Lazio stunned the league leaders, with Mancini later saying the Brazilian's stupidity ruined Christmas for the club.

Mancini, however, took to Twitter to deny reports of disharmony in Milan.

"People shouldn't be making up alleged or rumoured splits or fallings-out within the team," Mancini wrote via his official account.

"The lads have been fantastic up until now and we're still top of the league."

Inter then released a statement of their own to deny the reports.

"Inter are top of the table and just lost one game yesterday," the statement read. "Some perfectly normal dressing-room situations have been blown out of proportion this evening and made out to be events that never actually took place."
 
Wouldn't be bothered. Loved him for what he did at City ie fa cup and title but some of the footy was dead boring. He and City have moved on. Good luck to him. At least Chelsea would be able to concentrate on PL because they wouldn't get out of a Champions league group.

Lol
 
I certainly loved the guy for what he achieved and won for us, and to make us consistently competitive, was a feat in itself. However I agree, we have moved on to better things, the squad back then often seemed fragmented, with bust ups and fights. Since he went, there has never really been anything like it. He certainly started our climb up the ladder, but this has been continued with Pellegrini, to where we can hold our own in the Champs League.

I'd disagree with that, we had two of the hardest groups one we for 10 points and didn't qualify!! Pellegrini won the double with mancinis squad, last season and this I haven't seen anything to say we have advanced that much, saying that I loved Mancini but wouldn't want him to return as with Maureen it just doesn't work out and I'd like to keep the memories I have of him especially that smile at the swamp 1-6 with me forever.
 
Should still be the boss now. We certainly wouldn't have been turned over at Arsenal in the manner we were if he was in charge. The concentration would've been there for 90 mins, even if we did shut up shop then catch them on the break late.

He was happy to nullify top teams a lot of the time, and win against lesser teams week in week out. So in a word, yes, I'd be gutted if Chelsea got him. I want him back at City in the future, love the guy.
 
Just like the current Chelsea players some of our players, for one reason or another, 'backstabbed' which led to our owner and chairman no choice to let go of Mancini. Mancini's main problem was to clamor for better players to weed out those who are not good enough to take us to the promised land.
Do we want the players to have the upper hand?
