I hate to say it

I think Mancini is hamstrung at the moment. He's had to put up with a lot of players who he didn't sign and doesn't want. Once the likes of tevez, adebayor, bridge, santa cruz, etc have gone off the wage bill he'll be given more freedom to complete his squad. Lets not forget that when mourinho was at chelski, he didn't have the squad restriction that is in place now. The 4 players I've just mentioned equate to roughly 25 million in wages per year. Last season, I'll admit, I was pissed off with our style of play under Bob and thought he wasn't the man for us. This season however, without a non-english speaking, wantaway, selfish "captain" hogging every single half chance, we've passed it around better and played as a team.
I'm starting to think that mourinho is the tevez of the management world. A badge kisser. Great when he first rocks up, then starts throwing hissy fits and gets itchy feet. Mancini isn't the kind of man to throw the towel in, as his previous positions have proved. Bringing tevez back into the starting line up would take us back to the turgid dross of last season. Sacking Mancini would take us back to the utter crap hughes left us in.

Although I wasn't particularly pissed-off with the majority of our play last season, I agree with everything else you say in this post. Excellent analysis.

Very good post, amazed at the ones calling for Mancini's head, unbelievable that your wanting this to happen for just losing a match!!!! [ dont need to say to me that we played rubbish ect, or Mancini is being to predictable, I listen to the match on the BBC's oversea's radio ], yea lets go ahead and dismantle this good side thats been brought together, and let me say that I was there in 1977 watching us get pip to the title by a point, people's expectations this season are right through the roof, we are not the finished product we have a way to go, but saying lets sack Mancini already is stupid, Mancini is the one to take us ahead, Mourinho is just a walking circus.................

I hope if we don't win the league, the management looks at the progress we have made and sticks with Mancini.

Win or not, we are on the right track.

The board have set him targets and no doubt some non-negotiables and if he meets them he should be allowed to continue.

If he doesn't then he will have to explain to the board why he should continue or worse still he will tapped on the shoulder and moved on.

You have to sure that your replacement is in a strong position to achieve better things and these days you are not given a lot of time to do so.

As Chelsea found out chopping and changing managers is not usually a good recipe for sustained success and lining your cabinet with more trophies.

What Chelsea really showed is that they should never have let Murinho go - and would love to have him back there......................How can we contemplate giving Mancini another war chest when the previous one has been so badly wasted? Its not just that we are only left with the Prem Title fight this Season, its the wimpish manner we are now playing with, supported by a flapping manager who is looking for any excuse......................................

Two great posts

All those numpties after sacking Mancini when we have lost only our third league game of the season are harking back to the bad old days.
Stick with bobby, give him the benefit of the doubt cos if anyone knows what pressure is it's him,and he will bring us the title in May!

Rubbish. The team have made no progress and he admits not preparing for a match. As for sticking with Mancini if we don't win the title - are you crazy, or his wife?
350m and no trophy is completely unnacceptable.

I reckon there's only one Mancini signing that I would call a bad one. How do you reckon he's wasted a warchest?

ANY Manager in ANY walk of life who admits not preparing for an important bit of business deserves the sack. Mancini showed utter contempt and arrogance towards Everton and our supporters who DID prepare to do their bit last night. I've never heard anything like it.
Im spitting feathers over this!
