Discuss Pellegrini

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Abrasive? Not sure if that's the right adjective His post wasn't aimed at a particular poster which I think is the main catalyst for division on the board.

The key words within his post were "four" and "games" btw.

Accusing a section of City fans of not caring about a club and having a man crush on our former manager who they need to get over is pretty abrasive to me. It's also pretty divisive from where I stand because it presumes the guilt of just Mancini Inners. Constant belittling of Inners makes the Outers just as guilty for the divisive atmosphere on here at the moment. Unfortunately, you're now sounding like you're joining in. Doubly so from what you said to me at the train station yesterday when you said if that performance had happened under Mancini I'd be "wanking over it", I assure you, I fucking wouldn't have. I was more than capable of admitting shit performances under Mancini without saying Mancini was shit and yesterday was a shit performance. Difference is, I didn't jump right into having a go at Pellegrini just because it was a shit performance. That's where your mind went right to though wasn't it. I didn't say anything about Pellegrini. I just said it was a shit performance. It was your mind that jumped straight to defending the manager and denigrating me and my support of Mancini even though I didn't mention Pellegrini at all.

I think you've read far too much into a comment made in jest (at the station).

You think that abrasive piece of shit was a good post? No wonder this site is becoming so divided.

The irony of that post is

Blueinsa was told to get behind the manager and team last season by all us inners
As he was one of the main outers who talked shit.

Bob had more than 4 games though yeah?

No sentiment in top level sport, especially football and he knows better than anyone that he wont be allowed time but 4 games? Seriously?

I will start to get worried if we are cut adrift at xmas but until then, he will get the benefit of the doubt.

FYI, always behind the team mate, always but managers and players come and go with the exact same fate awaiting Pellegrini as the rest of them but 4 games is not the end of his reign as well you know.

We are all behind the team mate
And we all want pellegrini to succeed & your right 4 games is far to early to judge
I don't have a problem with folk having a moan at him & the players though,it is a forum after all.

A point and a clean sheet at Stoke would've been good enough under Mancini, what's the difference?

A point and a clean sheet is, well, a point and a clean sheet?

I promised myself to not get drawn in to this comparison shit but fuck it I'm joining in.

I wouldn't have read anything into it if you didn't think Blueinsa's post was a good post. It wasn't a good post. It was another divisive post which blamed only one side. Acknowledging that both sides are at fault for the constant bickering is just about the only way it's going to stop. If both sides persist with the idea that only the other side are to blame, the divide is going to perpetuate. It's time for a few mea culpas.

I have slept on yesterday performance and let me just put one thing out there.

Not one blue,one wants Pellegrini to fail so they can say "told you so". For people to think that blues want to score cheap shots is really quite silly.

My concern is this.Pellegrini has won nothing.
Yesterday he looked like a defeated man already.
He looks haunted as if he is thinking "Wtf have I took on here".

The players for sure need to buck up and start earning what they are paid for.
I still think that Pellegrini will be gone by Christmas and replaced by somebosy else-Who,I have no idea however do we really think that the Spanish pair and Khaldoon have not looked at the 4 performances and thought bar Newcastle this is unacceptable.
Somebody posted last year that Mansour/Khaldoon are winners.They don't accept second best.
So my question is this.Are we happy to just progress in europe-not guaranteed at all and accept a non trophy winning season?
I for one am not but my opinion or anyones on here are not what the board look at.
I will stand by my guns that the sacking of Mancini will put our club back 3 yrs at least but that in no uncertain terms means I or anyone wants us to fail.
Next 2 games are pivotal in our season.
I am not sure why but I just have a bad feeling about things that are going on. Of course off the pitch it is going well,but I for one currently am interested in on pitch performances.

Agree I was disappointed in the club sacking Mancini and for me we needed to back him last summer with who he wanted(RVP) we acted like a club who have been at the top and winning trophies for decades, for me we haven't established our selves as one of the top clubs as in a Madrid Bayern Milan Chelsea and a Barcelona.. Got the feeling though FFP played a big part in the club going down This root early in our development..

Folk can moan away but some calling for his head is just plain ridiculous.

He is no long term appointment anyway and is seen as very much a safe pair of hands and yes, a yes man for Ferran and Txiki until they can get their long term man in some way down the line.

Many wont like that either but its the way our owner wants the club to go forward and they have been given all the power.

They did a decent enough job at Barca so im willing to run it with it.

Think it was the performance dan.

No-one can take issue with that, but some of the posts on Pellegrini are absurd. It seems to me (not you Skash before you start, or you TCM!) that some are more concerned with vindication than taking an objective, reasoned view.

It was the same under Mancini when we lost btw, which I was equally dismissive of. People rushing on here to point out how it proved them right. Some people's insecurities are such that being proved right obliterates all other considerations.

Sad, really.

This isn't Barca though is it with all due respect.

We are a football club and a business exactly the same as Barca and the way they evolved that club both on and off the field is the way Mansour wants us to evolve going forward.

Dont see the problem with that tbh fella.

The days of out and out football managers at top clubs are numbered with the D of F taking over and working with a coach.

We all need to get used to that.
