For me Billy McNeil was 'the man', but then he was manager when I first began to follow City. I usually want to believe in every manager, at least when they first arrive, but I never liked Kendal, I didn't like the way his Everton team used to play, so I wasn't that upset when he left. Other than McNeil I've only thought Joe Royle was 'the man'. I haven't decided on Mancini yet, but I'm optomistic, and I'm starting to believe that he could become 'the man' to do the job all his predecessors since Joe Mercer have failed to do.
