My 100th post....all very pathetic City......reminds me of the Swales days

In which case Mansour will be waiting for next year's season ticket sales to go through before selling Aguero.

That made me chuckle

All you 'please grow up crowd' are forgetting that the shafting of Mancini commenced last year with Marwood a prime conspirator. You are also forgetting that we THREW AN FA CUP FINAL ffs....!!!!

Grow Up.

It's you who should "grow up", bacuzzi has a valid point, Roberto was undermined deliberately during the summer transfer window, it's been down hill ever since. In hindsight, he was a deadman walking all season and he must have known it himself all along.

It was said in Jest so calm down. I recommend that Bacuzzi stops flinging allegations of our players throwing games on a public forum. It's a little silly and perhaps he should errr grow up? I'm sure the players can afford better lawyers than he/she can.

By the way Marwood didn't undermine him. You think he had the power to veto transfer targets? Give your head a wobble.

SSN:"Mancini is the 15th manager Baconface had seen off". Absolute bollocks but City have done themselves no favours today.

So when the decision was made and it broke Friday night when could they have sacked him.

FA cup final day? The day united were crowned? Today or have a Hughes situation where he knows he's sacked but is forced to manage the team?

Nothing should have "broken" though.

Public dinner dates and a season of silence from the board has come back to bite them.

I can't see Jose fitting that 'holistic approach' somehow

 

[Goater101]

what a bunch of fucking drama queens.

Do you honestly think the club could of handled this any other way? Do you honestly think they spread the rumours on Friday? They were slaughtered for allowing Hughes to manage the game when the world knew he was sacked. Now they do the opposite and your acting like Robbie left Take That before the end of the tour.

Protests against our board? The board that dragged us out of the shit and gave us the premier league within 5 years? The board that bought us Robinho, Tevez and Aguero?

Have a look at yourselves. We were laughing at the rags for this kind of faux grief and self pity the other day.

^ I find it hard to disagree with anything he said. Spot on

Some of the comments in this thread are a disgrace. Telling the owners to fuck off. Well done

The owners with their half a billion investment is the reason why we won the league not Mancini's management skills. But some of you clowns believe it the other way round

If there is any sort of protest on Sunday i for one will be embarrassed.

why, people can have an opinion, it doesnt really matter how much they spend if they treat a succesful manager like shit, people are gonna be mad

Good luck to roberto where ever he goes next,hopefully whoever comes in can get us back to playing like we were last season,my only concern is regardless who it is they will be on a hiding to nothing with the media...

Andrea Mancini, Roberto's son, now wading into it. "Money can't buy class, show some respect for the manager that made you win after 44yrs."

He's got a big mouth. Takes after his dad

He s just sticking up for his dad, I would do the same.

Come on, there's been some really poor performances this last year. Like he hasn't motivated the players. Just feel something wrong behind the scenes and Mancini always seems to blame it on other things other than his own management. I thank him for the good times, the high of a year ago and move on. Don't understand the hysteria on here tonight.
