Club Statement (confirmed that Mancini sacked)

[york away to this!]

abandon ship!!

Are the rats leaving, or is this a new launch?

 

[Goaters]

Tough decision but the moronic diva like comments by people slating the board is a joke. If they felt giving him a 7.5 million pay off was necessary for a fresh start so be it.

Time to think of the exciting future we have awaiting us as fans.

CTID.

[whicko]

We would be fucked without both as well. Fucking grow up.

Fuck you

Calm down. Yes its a shitter but either come back tomorrow or post nice.

Apologies De Niro just a bit pissed off.

rags won fuck all last season and played shit tweaked it in the summer still played shit but smashed the league ...... we do the same and slightly different outcome.........lets hope they know what there doing ctid

The fact that ferguson has won 30 odd trophies in 20 years probably gives him a few years leeway!

 

[GeekinGav]

if Kiddo is taking control of the last 2 games AND the US Tour, thats a long wait for the new manager. If the Pellegrini deal was done, why say Kiddo takes control of the US Tour?

I dont think we have anyone lined up now Pellegrini has denied it.

oh god .......

..... are we gonna end up with Benitez???!!!

Does la liga and our US tour finish around the same time?

i assumed the US tour would be part of next seasons pre-season, ie the players go on holiday for 3-5 weeks then the tours start? La Liga ends this month doesnt it?

 

[The Road Sweeper]

Some of the reactions on here are preposterous.

I have good memories of Roberto and what he has delivered, but it's football management: a well paid, yet brutal and unforgiving job. He knew this when he embarked on this career path: he has followed in others' wake before and he will again. That is the nature of the game of football management.

None of us can know the sub-plot to this decision, at least at the moment. I'm not saying that this is the case, but if his relationships have broken down beyond the point of critical mass, then there's no turning back from that. That's the way of the world.

Our owners deserve our absolute trust to make the right decisions. Does anyone seriously think Mancini would have come to City if Taskin was still in charge or worse, we were in administration? On that basis anyone egregiously criticising them is being foolish.

Thanks Roberto, you've given me the best footballing memories of my life, but you got to manage my football club for three and a half years and were well rewarded for doing it, which is why my reserves of sympathy are not limitless at your dismissal, or even the nature of it. There plenty of people on this board struggling to find work who are far more deserving of my sympathies.

He'll get over this and move forward, as will City. City is what really matters, individuals are just extras passing through. People shouldn't lose sight of that.

Spot on.

Mancini came to us under the same cicumstances in which he leaves us. He knew the score and he knows the score.

He'll be neither ashamed nor embarrassed by this. As fans, we shouldn't either.

 

[stan bowles]

Agree

One chapter finishes, another begins...........exciting times ahead I feel

Absolutely.

Some of the shite being written on here is truly unbelievable.

Plenty of rags about too....

Rags or 12 year old girls. Has to be one of the two.

I hope you get the sack tomorrow too. Rich irony. Maybe some of us don't like seeing anyone treated like a piece of shit the way this club has done to Mancini. You think he gives a toss about the size of his severance package ? Fuck off. He's already a multi-millionaire. It's more to do with the way it's been done than the decision to replace him itself.

 

[toutmaster]

I hope his replacement is worthy

Yes he also rates lescott as a stricken and can play 3 at back plus I am sure knows how turn a lead into a defeat in the last 5 mins

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Disgracefull, we are a laughing stock yet again, how this has been handled is disgusting, fcuk off city

Don't let the door hit you and Mancini on the way out.

Prick
