3 year contract for Mancini

[Michael Corleone]

Would Mancini have too much pride to stay as assistant ?

There is no way he will settle for being our assistaint manager.

I don't think its an option I was just intrigued that given the opportunity, same pay, would he ?

We have a team of world beaters.

Therein lies your problem, I can think of about 3 or 4 "world beaters, when on form, and most aren't at the moment.

If you really think our team is full of "world beaters" then I'd say your expectations are too high.

Amazing. I'm not being funny but a squad that has collectively won EVERY major footballing tournament isn't good enough. But a manager who's achieved exactly nothing outside a corrupt serie A is???? Please.... I want Mancini to get another season. But sort yer arguments out because that is weak IMO.

In one full season he won the worlds foremost domestic cup.


It's like saying: what has Fergie won outside the uk? He's a shitehawk pretending to be good.

I'm not getting into an argument so don't bother, if you want to call me weak, carry on, I'm not biting.

My comment was aimed directly at the post I quoted, not the players, not mancini, we are not a team "full of world beaters", that is a fact, 3 or 4 probably are (or should be), the rest, well yes we have some great players, but the quoted phrase suggests the posters expectations are too high.

Should we have won the league this year ? Yes we probably should, but as of this moment we haven't, on that subject I'm with Blue2112, its not over yet.

There is no way Mourinho would be prepared to work within FFP, he would just constantly be asking for more money, then leave when the shit hits the fan. He doesn't think he's been given enough at Real for fuck's sake. £30M on a leftback for starters.

Brilliant news if true, I have full faith that Mancini is the man to deliver long-term success for the club. He's built the base and the ground floor now let him finish the job.

Chelsea got an invite to the top table which they have dined at ever since because of Mourinho. The British press practically cum in there knickers when he is around. He understood that getting the press on side helps

This is simply NOT FECKIN TRUE and it's a total myth that Chelsea were nowhere before Mourinho. I wish people would stop repeating it because you just look foolish! Chelsea were ALREADY in Europe. Mourinho started at a much more improved position with Chelsea than Mancini did with us, so FFS give Mancini some credit.

Chelsea had already been in the Champions League for a few years BEFORE Mourinho came to the club, in the year before Mourinho was appointed manager they were in the Champions League SEMI-FINALS, so by definition they were already 'dining at Europe's top table'. In the year before Mourinho was manager they also finished SECOND in the Premier League, AHEAD OF MANCHESTER UNITED. Arsenal won the League, Chelsea 2nd and United 3rd.

So to pretend Chelsea were a bunch of naives is not true, they were already competing strongly in the League and Europe BEFORE Mourinho. They already had the experiences as a club and as players that we have not. I'm not taking anything away from Jose, he clearly pushed them that little bit further to actually win the Trophy's but to suggest they were not already at the highest level is not true and it does Mancini a dis service because he has been constantly improving City, starting from a lower base than Mourinho at Chelsea.
