There have been doubts and suspicion about his true quality amongst a proportion of our fanbase since his arrival. And many of these these aren't brainless fans but knowledgeable ones. Some senior football writers echo this view.
He's stubborn, strong and single minded. No doubt about that. But that strength has a flip-side in that he is not a popular manager amongst the players. That in itself brings problems because if they aren't bought in, they don't deliver. He's also tactically awful at times: he tries to be clever and doesn't carry it off.
He won't be going anywhere for the time being, nor should he. But he will be looked at in May next year and if this season is a flop I suspect he'll be gone. That's how it should be. There's been a lot of mud thrown at him, and he's thrown a lot of mud, since his arrival and the question is: how much of it has stuck and how many brownie points did the title bring him?
I'd say he has to win the league now or he's on thin ice. But I'm second guessing Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon here. It's tough to guage how important is the Champions League to them in the here and now, and how much of a medium/long-term view they take on it.
You couldn't wait could you. Mancini will prove you wrong once AGAIN. I remember last season you were sure he was HISTORY!
and don't second guess Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon because you will only make yourself look like a clown.
Hahahahahahaha!!!!
I bet the Citizens won't be questioning Saint Bob, will they?
This was a reply from deluded dave in a completley different thread. Bless him the guy is bonkers.
