Exclusive Mancini interview in the Guardian ^^

[woolleyback blue]

NO ONE is posting on the MUEN anymore, are they? Your question to me seems to indicate that you have accepted my claim about you. Fair play to you, then...

The reason we don't have the players is because Bobby didn't want them. He admitted in this Guardian interview that he wanted Sinclair (our only winger) but he just hasn't played him, through no fault of the player. This, after selling on AJ, who he almost never played on his natural left side where he could have crossed into the box (AJ has no right foot, as everyone realized). Lavezzi was available for peanuts, but we didn't seem to bother.

When I was leading the Hughes out brigade years ago, you were one of the ringleaders of the Hughes stay clapper crowd. You had it wrong then, and in the same manner, you have it wrong now. When Hughes was sacked, you went on and on about how disgusted you were with Cook, Khaldoon and the club in general. I guess you changed your mind, somewhere along the way...

Oh its you is it different name same single brain celled thinking, I forget your previous incarnation as you were instantly forgettable when you ran away. I seem to recall you running away all the time when you got out thought in any debate we had on MEN. Your peddling your usual rubbish here now are you.

You're right I was a Hughes in man because based on his previous record he had the right to be given a chance, he didn't take it and although the manner of his sacking wasn't handled well he deserved to go.

For the same reason I'm a Mancini in man now, he's proved he can win the PL, he needs to be given time to prove he can get us out of the group stage of the CL.

Let me guess you want your precious Mourinho in...

For results, Mou is the best manager on the planet, but.....I'd rather keep Bobby than bring in Mou. He is a better manager than Bobby (and everyone else), but he has all of Bobby's negatives, and raised to the nth degree.

You blindly backed Hughes, even for some time after he was sacked. You attacked Bobby mercilessly, and yet, here you are, making the same mistake all over again. Being unable to adapt to your environment, even as it changes around you, can lead to extinction, just like the Mammoths, magnificent creatures though they were...

Bobby has done really well at City, but all managers reach a wall, and then can take a club no further, and that is where Bobby is with City. He'll move on, and he will be both respected and fondly remembered by the City faithful. Nevertheless, it's time for a change.

I see your style hasn't changed still making up lies I see. I have never attacked Mancini and I challenge you to produce one post from me on here or on the MEN that attacks him. I won't hold my breath. Got your running shoes ready have you.

Like I said, shits and giggles downstairs, everyone is waiting to give you a virtual high five!

whats the matter ?? oh no..you cant handle someones opinion.. arf !!!

Give an opinion about Bob and I will debate it with you, until then and whilst you play your games.....

Are you blind or sommat..I have given you my opinion about Bob ( a few posts back) and its based on facts..those facts are that hes been our most successful manager for 30 years..
so stop shirking and read the posts before stating that I havent given you an opinion..

Open your eyes...the truth is out there..but you have to look.

Fuck me..just looked,and to make matters worse you have already commented on the post im talking about..

Doh !!

The thing is, mate, that whole process supposedly starts BEFORE you sign a player, whoever they may be.

When he wanted Nasri, he would surely have made it is his business to know what makes him tick.

It's a concern that Mancini has waited the best part of two seasons to realise Nasri has been shirking his responsibilities all too often.

It coincides with Mancini currently fighting his own corner, defending his own record.

Just smacks of being an unnecessary cheap shot to reinforce our current failings.

Is he right about Nasri? Of course he is. Just think stuff like this needs to be kept indoors.

He might not have waited the best part of two seasons, this could well be the last roll of the dice after trying all the other methods people have been talking about.

In general you'd prefer to keep things in house, but there are players that won't respond to that. If this is the way he gets Nasri to pull his head out of his arse then thats fine by me. As far as I'm concerned we've not got a lot to lose as for me he'll be sold in the summer unless he can prove he belongs.

That's a very expensive last roll of the dice! We've got plenty to lose by making it public.

Millions, in fact. He earns phenomenal money as it is.

The MUEN has deleted all comments from prior to the brand-new makeover. Here's a thought, why don't you provide evidence to back up your claim that I am a liar, then and now?

12 points behind the rags with 12 games still to go, limply out of the Carling cup, pathetic yet again in the CL, publicly blaming every man and his dog on an almost weekly basis for anything and everything.....all facts fella.

Can you see them ok?

Maybe. But IMO if we sell in the summer we lose money mainly because of his wages and because his performances over 18 months don't justify a £25m pricetag. I doubt Mancini's interview will be telling any prospective club what they don't already know.

Expensive roll of the dice it may be, but I guess thats why we pay a manager the big bucks to make those sort of calls.

Your opinion is he will stay, mine is he will go, OPINION!

My response to you and those like you was because you are incapable of realising this forum if for opinions and not facts, all you can ever do is demand facts when your never going to get them, you're only ever going to get an opinion and i wonder, at what point do you realise that and start to debate opinions instead of throwing teddy from the pram

I hear and respect your opinion on Bob, i just don't agree with it!

If its an opinion then state it as such don't state it as if its a known fact. If your going to have an opinion based on your own prejudices then it seems to me it devalues it as an opinion whereas opinions based on reasoned argument are more valid. Give me a reasoned argument as to why he's to quote " a dead man walking" and I'll respond with a counter argument.

Over the years, you've proven again and again that you wouldn't know a "reasoned argument" if it hit you over the head with a board.

Oh please. You got battered on the MEN forum not only by me but by many more posters for your OTT attacks on Hughes and Mancini. You don't do reasoned arguments you do personal attacks on the poster in the hope it will deflect the argument away from the fact that you were losing the debate badly. You still haven't produced one "reason" why Mancini could be considered "a dead man walking" apart from your admitted prejudices.<br /><br />-- Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:43 am --<br /><br />

I don't need to, you accused me of attacking Mancini the onus is on you to prove it isn't a lie. If you can't then withdraw the remark!

And then we will be stuck with another high earner who has been deemed surplus to requirements by Mancini.

Clubs didn't have it publicly confirmed to them Nasri had a poor mentality until today, did they?

A shame Wenger could not have extended us the same courtesy, eh!

Maybe he wanted to earn his club every penny he could ;)

You've got it wrong - maybe you've confused me with one of your other million detractors, as I've NEVER criticized Bobby on the MUEN board. And you have the gall to call me a liar...priceless!
