I love Mancini but Pep is the not only our best manager so far, he’s likely the most talented manager we will ever have. Enjoy him as it’ll never get better than this.I can think of three - Zlatan, Eto’o, Yaya, I also suspect that Aguero was not too fond of him and can think of double that at least that the greatest manager in history Alex Ferguson has fell out with.
It’s weird that some city fans, probably with loose connections to staff involved from the ‘old city’ have this obsession that Mancini was the root of all evil because he didn’t say hello to the kit man or because he fell out with a player from time to time. They should judge him on his achievements on the pitch of which he was superb for the club and this fan base.
Kevin Parker has responded on Twitter (click to see the whole thread). All seems reasonable enough.
Who, Parker or Guardiola?I still don't get how he does not understand he is being played by the media.
Sorry if anyone does not get city fans is our PR department at our club. If it was United they would put up a statement clarifying what Pep said within hours and then banned a few journos and news orgs from the stadium for spreading fake news. our PR department is the worst they are like a business HR when for a sport club they should be more closer to the fansHmm. In my opinion pep just doesn't get city fans. Hes slagged us off quite a few times since joining.
I am of the vintage when being a city fan was all about commitment to a lost cause, and loyalty without question. Getting battered every week and turninng up, being there no matter what.
30-odd k in the secind division etc.
So now with all this success to get called out by him is a bit annoying to be honest. He doesn't get us and he never will.
He thinks its all about the glory, and the beauty of the tika taka. But thats bullshit. We know its all about the struggle. The ups, the downs, the own goals and the 30 yard screamers. Pollock og. Lee badbuy. Kit Simons. Ali, Ali. Mario. Yaya fa cup semi. 93:20. Thats just city.
Fuckin history. We were formed. In 18 something or other and have been through more ups and downs than most of the prem league combined.
He might be a great manager and tactician and super motivated to win. But to be honest I think I would prefer it if he fucked off back to barca where he can be with his 'people'.
He aint city and he never will be. No mater how many trophies he puts in the cabinet.
Parker. They first get quotes from Pep and then they give him a twisted question and he falls for it hook line and sinker. Now they create a fight between the two while they write fake news and make profit.Who, Parker or Guardiola?
Can you really call yourself a supporter if you're not a member of the OSC?
Maybe there was, but the club are to blame for that title defence, messing up the transfer of RVP and ending up with Rodwell and Sinclair amongst others. That season was lost when the August transfer window closed.City also managed a dismal defence of their PL title leaving a clear run for United. They also contrived to lose the FA Cup final to (the relegation bound) Wigan.
It was blindingly obvious that there were real problems between the playing squad and Mancini.
