"How do you solve a problem like Mancini?"
You sign Pep Guardiola before United do.
If Pep was forced to make a choice between the City and the neighbours, he would go with the neighbours. rags have a well developed hierachy in the club, managment that will support the manager in building up and developing teams and obedient players. Poor Mancini has to work with fvckwit Tevez, complete idiot Balo, cry baby Dzeko and more than a few other spoilt little rats. Mancini deserves far more credit than he gets, those mentioned would not last more than 5 minutes with bacon face. Imagine if Van Persie fvcked of to Netherlands for a few months to play golf during the season, bacon face would make sure he never got within 5 miles of the squad, or, if Hernandez pulled a stunt every week, bacon face would have him kicked out of the country etc etc. Same thing could be said for Barca, imagine Messi, Xavi or Iniesta causing trouble, it's simply unthinkable!! Ibrahimovic is better than any one of the City front four and still had his arse kicked out from Barca, City players are way to ignorant to accept that no player is bigger than the club. It's not just Barca or the rags, look at all the top teams in Europe. Roberto needs to put the entire team in their place with the support from the club and fans. It is better to lose one season in building up authority and team values than to bow to pressure to win at all cost.
