If the owner confirms Mancini...

[blueinsa]

Pardon me for making comment (not a Mancini outer or doubter as the case is) but I'd be delighted if Mancini was confirmed as Manager for the next 3 years because I think that 4 years is the true test of a Manager.
Y1: Squad remodel begins - bring in a number of new players to reinforce existing - start transition to new systems of play and new club culture / training regime etc.
Y2: Bring in additional new players to get squad rebuild to 90% and bed new players in to newly established systems.
Y3: Win everything.
Y4: Do it again to prove that it wasn't a 1 off.

After no success comes after 4 years then it's time to part company but not before the manager's had reasonable time to settle everything down and demonstrate results.
Those doubting Mancini are working on the basis that it's possible to go for gold right from the off . . . and win everything. That's pure fantasy and even the greatest of Manager with the largest of investments haven't managed to bring instant success unless playing with the successful systems of the previous manager (never in a rebuild!).

Nothing but pipe dreams.

History tells us that managers get on average 18 months in the job to do the business or they are gone.

Hughes kept up with the pattern and i will wager that Bobby wont let the stat down either.

Arsene Wenger at Arsenal
Jose Mourinho at Chelsea
Fabio Capello at Real Madrid
Jose Mourinho at Inter ( not the same but still did better than Mancini there)

Your 4 year plan is flawed though by the fact that would you feel the same if it was Sam Allardyce or Phil Brown. Stability does bring sucess but only if the manager is the right guy and Mancini's style does not suit English football to the point of being able to win the league

Baffled and bemused and wondering why? 300 million for a 2nd rate team of half assed pre-maddona Muppet's who cant be arsed making the effort as well as a total BARN POT and a plank named Dzeko...

there are lot of people around here who dont like or want to face the truth.
i would say 3 years after coming in to 550 billion pounds we should have won something or at least be very comfortable in a top 4 place.

I think you confuse me with some fucking idiot Bill... I've been supporting City as long as you have (nearly)... Laughing stock we are certainly fucking not Bill..... Disappointing at the moment maybe.. but laughing stock? In the past certainly, but not now...get a grip!

We are a laughing stock pure an simple.

So, presumably, this would also have applied to Stuart Pearce?

That we should have given him 4 years before we judged him?

And Frank Clark? And Alan Ball? And any other manager we ever appoint?

And who exactly is laughing ?? all the teams below us or the 3 above us ??

Or maybe those twatzoid pundits whos job it is ??

Or....(heaven forbid) City fans who want it all right now.??
