The mistake would be to think that Roberto Mancini is losing his job because only first place is good enough for Manchester City these days.
This was not a kneejerk reaction to defeat in the FA Cup Final on Saturday evening or to finishing as runners-up in the Barclays Premier League. It is not a decision that has been made lightly or impulsively. It is a decision that has been months in the making. All season long the City hierarchy has had reservations and pained discussions about Mancini.
So why the fuck did they give him 5!! 5 fucking years! Then in the same breath not back him in the transfer market last summer. I didn't think he'd be here for 5 years but seems pretty strange the decision to fuck him off was made months ago.
Not aimed at you btw.
I believe (seem to recall) that there were several 'breaks' included in that deal, allowing either side to sever the deal with minimal compensation paid by City.
