A year ago today......

[ste.sully]

Mark Hughes was sacked and Roberto Mancini was brought in after the rollercoaster victory that was the 4-3 result against Sunderland - only felt like yesterday.

Mancini has had a solid, if unspectacular, first year - now is where the work really starts with us being in a good position in the league and looking solid in the Europa League.

Opinions of Mancini's first year in charge??

Strange day that. Heard Hughes was apparently gonna get the sack regardless of the result, and listened desperately to the radio in the car home on the situation concerning his dismissal.

Only City could do that in such a typical, unique way.

Very happy with Mancini. Very happy. Did i mention i was very happy?

I remember that day.

I was none-the-wiser until I got on the train to get home. Apparently there was a "press conference at 7pm" confirming Hughes' sacking, and that stylish Roberto Mancini was going to be whisked in.

After ruining the rest of last season and trying his damnedest to repeat that this campaign he seems to finally got to grips with the English game. to be honest I didnt fancy him as our boss but he's done ok, his best attributes are handling the press( love him) and the ability to attract top notch players.
He will defiantly win us silverware, glad we have him.

How Hughes was sacked will always be a shame, but Mancini cant be blamed for any of that. Last season Mancini knew he couldn't change to much mid season, so he made us alot harder to beat , which some people hated because perhaps we did lose a bit of attacking spark, but saying that, once Mancini got to grips with the league we did start looking more attacking towards the end, Chelsea, Burnley, Wolves away, Villa and Wigan at home springing to mind. But as soon as Mancini got a pre season to get his players in, we have never looked back, ok at times this season there has been signs of the old caution, but that stopped as soon as Silva, Yaya etc had adapted to the league, and got rid of there World cup hangovers, now we look a proper team with solid foundations, hard to score against, but great going forward with all players good on the ball. Right now this the best City team I have ever witnessed, and its only going to get better, were very lucky to have Mancini.
