For those who like Mancini

[Anonymous]

...words..

As I say, I don't think that it's hypocritical of him to ask for calm regarding Mancini after he wanted Hughes out. Hughes had a lot more time and money than Mancini has currently had, and had about the same results.

If he was barracking Hughes after a few months then fine, but after two years, he may have just had a legitimate opinion?

I think for a large percentage of this board, we remember the havoc caused by the foaming Hughes Out Brigade last season, which all but ruined Bluemoon.

The fact is that Hughes wasn't given a chance by many people on Bluemoon from day one. And I'm not talking about those of us who posted in agony after the Forrest or West Brom debacles. I'm talking about those people who chose to not accept Hughes from the day he joined our club. Never gave him a chance, and absolutely annihilated his character (and still do).

Personally I find it headspinningly (is that a word?) bizarre that the very same people now wail, cry, moan, feign indignation at the mere mention that Mancini may not be universally loved and accepted.

IMO, hypocrites to a man. And they all know who they are as well so I certainly don't need to point it out...

Woke up this morning to the cry of hypocracy from JTU.

I do not think it is hypocracy to want one manager out and another one too stay. This is complete misuse of the word.

Get real FFS. You said:

"As a Mancini fan I find it deeply disrespectful that he is being undermined at every turn by these posters."

Yet YOU were "disrespectful" to Hughes and 'undermined' him "at every turn" by constantly criticising him - as your quotes prove.

If you think that's not hypocrisy then you need to give your head a wobble.

Seriously!

You did to Hughes exactly what you are accusing other Blues of doing to Mancini - FACT!

As for the post you trawled where I suggested that Mourinho would do much better than Hughes. that is not hypocracy either.

You had a go at Blues who are speculating that Mourinho may come in, claiming Mancini "is being undermined at every turn by these posters."

Yet you were the one speculating about Mourinho coming in when Hughes was in charge - thus 'undermining' him!

Again - You did to Hughes exactly what you are accusing other Blues of doing to Mancini - FACT!

Yet you claim this isn't hypocrisy?!

Unbelievable!

Glad you're back on line Underpants. Talking of hypocracy you slagged a poster for calling you thick while feeling completely at ease calling me a wanker.

Apart from that the disrespect I said you and others were showing was to a man who has a highly respectable record managerial record.

And as Damocles points out I gave Hughes quite alot more time than you are affording RM.

It was not hypocracy. Just common sense not to leave the club in the hands of a manager with no record of success.

Go cry to someone who cares. You're a blatent hypocrite. The facts don't lie - no matter how much you try and twist them.

You slagged off Hughes left right and centre. Didn't care about "undermining" him - did you?

Now you have the nerve to whinge that some posters are speculating about Mourinho and are "undermining" Mancini.

Give your head a wobble.

Just to clear the record with Underpants and Billy. I had no problem with Hughes being a United legend. Was only ever interested in what he brought to City which after a year became quite obvious was not a lot. At which point I and many other suggested he be replaced. I did not make up stories about new managers being lined up or that certain players were being frozen out just to have a go at the manager.

I have no problem with others doing the same with Mancini. But after 3 months and with better results surely not yet.

very good JTU and Billy

in future I expect to only hear positive things about our manager from you

 

[jimharri]

Mancini never played for United, so I'll support him until we start getting hammered every week.....Whenever I heard Hughes' name I could only think of that twat with the perm with the sharp-emblazoned scum top.

Well; I suppose we should be grateful to 'Kippax Street 1880' for his honesty , and for confirming the suspicions held about some (not all) of the Hughes Out brigade. I guess Hughes is as well off out of City; he never had a chance with some on here, no matter what he did (or, as it turned out, what he didn't do).

Well somebody needed to say out loud what has been on the mind of I imagine, a large number of us in recent days and weeks....;- )

You undermined Hughes, shut the fuck up or fuck off.

The difference is, Hughes was Shite and Clueless.

Mancini will lead us to glory once he's unpicked the crap position he was left in by Clueless Hughes

Another high quality contribution from a member of the idiocracy.

OP - I agree that the endless speculation about Mourinho is not only pointless but disrespectful to Mancini. Seems like every time Jose so much as looks as if he might fart some people have to start a thread saying he's coming to City.

Enough is enough IMO. We are entering the most crucial part of our most important season for many years. It really is time for every real fan to forget about whatever personal agenda they have for awhile and just get behind the team and the manager.

It's a good point to get behind the manager. BUT the manager must work in a 'general way', set up the club workings in a way so that a successor could take over. The problem with Hughes was that he set up everything the 'Hughes way'. When the owners thought he might not bring success, they could not let him continue, and spend more money, because a new manager could not 'take over'. Hughes wanted to much to build HIS team, with his loyal friends, in the team and in the staff.

So, there is a paradox, if you make ourself dispensable, as a manager, you have greater chance to survive!
