For those who like Mancini

[cyberblue]

I think that its quite pathetic, that the people who for 18 months would hurl abuse at anybody who even questioned Hughes ability, now 3 months in to Mancinis tenure is doing everything they can to undermine him.

The thread is not about that ,people wanted Hughes out because he had spent a fortune & were under performing .Our new manager has hardly got his feet under the table

Under Hughes it used to be 6 transfer windows and a billion quid before you were allowed to judge him, now its ok to want Mancini out after 3 months...fuck the fact that he's inhereted somebody elses unbalanced squad and had little money to strenghen. That is Hypocrisy.

SJG spot on they are Hypocrites in the purest sense of the word, as there are many people on this site that had a plethora of excuses for Huges but can't extend them to Mancini, for instance :-

He's only had 3 transfer windows,
He's only been here 18 months,
Its not his team, let him build his team,
We can't Judge him until he's had at least 4 seasons just like Fergie,
Its (insert players name) fault, there causing trouble,

It really does astonish me though that Mancini has only just been here just over 3 month. Yet those exact same people that came out with those excuses and many more are totaly unwilling to extend them to Mancini. Even though Mancini statistically has a better record than Hughes.

That's logic.

I don't think those that wave banners saying 'hypocrite' all the time are really interested in it, mate.

They're a bit funny like that.

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...

Well said... a decent post amongst a sea of absolute fuckwittery.<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:30 pm --<br /><br />

You and i both know it had nothing to do with performances with a large section of Hughes Out... he would never have been accepted because our support grew chips on thier shoulders about his time at utd. At least some weren't shy about admitting it either.

To keep running with the hypocrasy theme, its great to see Carlos perform so well for us and be taken under our wing, considering his fan favourite status at the same club.

Maybe those "hypocrite" people are willing to give Mancini time beacuse he is a decent manager and were not willing to give Hughes the same patience because he is shit!

You're being ironic, right?

Personally i think all of this is down to the Hughes in/out era. As a lot of overly offensive things were said by both sides. Which divided us not only in our opinions of Hughes but fueled a genuine hatred for the opposing side. Which is now carrying on and spilling into other things, as its the same two groups bickering all the time over different matters.

Maybe we should setup a some sort of Peace and Reconciliation Commission thread and try and forget what happened in the past and apologize to one another for being twats. Because as i see it all this quarreling will not end until we find a way to forgive an forget what happened in the recent past.

Ha ha ha.

Unless you're blind, deaf, and dumb, then you will of course no doubt have noticed that there has not been a single Mancini out post on this board since he joined. Nobody has said he's clueless, tactically inept. Nobody has called him "that Italian tw@t". Nobody has questioned his man management skills in the face of stories of dressing room unrest. The overwhelmingly unanimous position seems to be a he's a very good manager, with a very good record, who is finding his feet in English football. The basic sentiment is "give him a chance".

It's therefore more than a little embarrassing when people post things like "people had a plethora of excuses for Hughes, but can't extend them to Mancini", when the EXACT opposite is true. Those precious souls who ranted and raved about the tafia, about how Hughes was murdering the creativity in our team, wanted to play kick and rush football, wanted to rid the club of all our flair, cannot even stomach the slightest hint that maybe Roberto isn't perfect. It makes them cry and weep and starts threads like this.

Hypocrites to a man, as I said earlier.

I didn't realise it had ever got that bad.

Personally I saw very few people being opposed to Hughes from the start. I certainly wasn't, although I've been accused of it.

I agree though that if those kinds of lines were drawn, it's time to get rid of them now.

I don't want to start a new thread or poll or anything,but seeing some fans saying they want Bob out,I was wondering who wanted MH out RM in,MH in RM out or both out.I wanted MH out RM in.

I wanted Mark Hughes to stay in and I want Mancini to stay in. I think a manager should be given time or we will get nowhere.
