Re: Bobby aint happy! (The Mail.....)
I think any annoyance from Mancini is totally justified. He just wants support so he can get on & do his bit & for the powers to be to get on doing there bit by ridding the club of the dead wood & bringing in his targets.
I knew this window would be difficult because we showed the weakness of our hand from an early stage.
1) We should have never announced what this summer's transfer policy was going to be by stating that we had to get rid of RSC, Ade, Bridge et al before we could buy. This was a major mistake & only served to put the power in the hands of the players & their agents. If this transfer window were a poker game, we'd have been bankrupted long ago!
2) We have a high quality squad which is low on numbers. Whilst all is good right now, we'll suffer later in the season when injuries, suspensions, loss of form, fatigue, ANC & playing 3 games a week starts to bite. I wonder who'll be blamed if it all goes tits up, Mancini or the clubs failed transfer window.
3) I know there's no point in crying over spilt milk, but I've found it impossible to watch Hazard playing for Chelsea & to not think what should have been but for our fear of FFP non-compliance. Just imagine how Mancini must be feeling, he's done his bit so why haven't those above him done theirs by progressing the club whilst keeping us out of the clutches of Platini?
Whilst I agree there's probably only guess work that's gone into the Mail's article & there's no way I could see Mancini wanting to bail out on so soon after signing a contract extension, its not hard to see that there could be simmering tensions at the club & we'd be stupid to believe different.
