Think theres a bit of 50/50 in there to be honest. I've no doubt he means the thank you and its a great gesture. Theres a good bit of ego in there too though - if you dont think he'll be sat by his telly tomorrow loving the fact that this ad absolutely cements 40 odd thousand blues singing his name, you must be barmy.
He deserves his acknowledgement from the fans though, love him or hate him he brought us what blues my age could only dream of a few years ago and for that I'll always be grateful.

Billy's basis for condemning him was that Mancini himself was in the ad. Yes, he was, but with his hand raised in a wave, as in 'ciao'. The fans in the background. Ergo, Mancini saying ciao to the fans by waving. Three unforgettable years; the trophies. Children could understand the very basic symbolism of the ad. So it was a thoroughly illogical avenue of attack. However, as many have said and he has admitted, he's not logical when it comes to Mancini because he so thoroughly dislikes the man.strongbowholic said:As for the point Billy raises, whilst raised in the way they were, they are valid. Is it not beyond the wit of a very political person to have ulterior motives for some if not all of their actions?
Juan King said:It's a shame the fans didn't get a chance to give Bobby a proper send off. I hope he does well wherever he ends up.
That would have been good but business doesn't always work like that, as I'm sure you know. He's moved on and so should we.

Joe Mercer was.Marvin said:They weren't sacked
Because it's divisive, I'd prefer to concentrate on getting behind City for the last game.

It really is weird how people can turn thank you into fuck you.
As oppose to the actions of a man who achieved so much and was treated disgracefully and didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye?
This is football and managers get the sack. He's been very well rewarded and leaves with his reputation enhanced.
The fans think one thing because for 3 years he was the public image of the club, but the players think another . And that's why he's lost his job. If City thought he could continue his success he'd still be here.
Those players can get to fuck the back stabbing primadonna bastards.

Yes treated disgracefully. Three trophies in 3 years at at club who hadn't won one in nearly 40 speaks louder than our press office feeding stories to the mail about him spending too much time on the sunbed and having his eyebrows waxed. Do you think Clough and Baconface were universally loved by their players?
The clubs decision to sack him (which I disagree with but accept) is one thing, but releasing all this title tattle afterwards is a disgrace.
