If they're not good enough for the team and they dont want to be a squad member then Fuck off get your first team football but quit the sniping
Practically every player who has left the club has made the same comments. Players within the club have made the same comments - it's often what starts these fallouts with players who then get shipped out. We've got an existing international superstar who feels the same way too. TO dismiss these repeated comments as "sour grapes" is ludicrous, bearing in mind players leave clubs all over the world all the time, and they don't all make the same comments.
It's obvious to a blind man living in a cave in the mountains of nepal that Mancini has a hands-off, aloof management style which is the opposite to the inclusive style of most top managers.
Maybe, just maybe, he can have more success at City with that style. Maybe he's even improved it. But I don't like it, never will.
All these people quoting Ferguson are talking rubbish. Ferguson's players respect him and fear his wrath, but he also manages them all as individuals and they will get the "arm round the shoulder" when necessary. That's good people management.
Do you seriously think Given would still be at City if Mancini put an arm round him and told him he was a great 'keeper and a great guy and a valuable squad member? Given was second best and wouldn't (rightly) settle for it so moved on. Bellamy couldn't (wouldn't) train in Mancini's way, Ade became a lazy sod and couldn't be bothered etc, etc.
I posted this earlier but you didn't respond:
I like the way he's managing our staff. He deals with troublemakers and gets them out of the Club. He has got us playing fantastic football at times and scoring goals for fun. We are one goal off the top of the league in a season where, bar two or three, it would be the best start ever - it is, however, still City's best start... ever.
Imho, you give too much weight to disgruntled ex-players who have an axe to grind.
Anyone who has left the Club under Mancini's reign that you would still rather have here DD? Even though they weren't happy here? Some people (players) simply can't be managed - that's why they are journeymen going from club to club. 'Arry is even having to 'threaten' Van der Vaart to keep him in line.
