I can't see any reason why anyone would not keep Mancini whether we won the cup or not. His achievements since he arrived have been quite simply staggering. The owner saw him as the man best qualified to "take the project forward" and how right they proved to be. Two major trophies in 3 years with a team that seemed incapable of defending when he arrived. Without the lure of CL football he, no-one else, was able to attract the likes Of Silva, Ya Ya, Milner, Kolarov, Balotelli to the club, qualify for the CL and win the cup. Then he took the football world by storm to win the PL, after inspiring the greatest comeback in PL history. If Slur Alex had ever done anything like that... And who was it who warned that last summer was not the time to rest on our laurels, that the squad needed freshening up at least - and the ma he wanted seems to be buying the title back for Slur Alex! He got a 5 year contract last summer. He deserved it then and he deserves it now.
Yeah, i guess E'too left Inter Milan to go to Russia just play for Hiddink and not the £270K a week.
Hulk left Porto just to go to Zenit because Spalleti is the coach not the £140K a week package on the table.
Loic Remy left L'OM for QPR because bent Harry and not the 80-100K a week that was on the table.
Hazzard went to chelsea for RDM and not the £120K a week on the table.
Milner, Silva, Yaya, Kolo, Garcia, Kun, Carlos, Balo, Barry, Nasri, Dzeko came to us for RM and the cash on offer at the time i guess?
Players like Zab has had to run through brick walls to even get a decent contract. Yet, Balo the love child was on way more than Zaba and Komp reportedly.
Listen, if we want to be respected and have some power in the world of football we need to start acting like it. This guy needs to learn fast and change fast or he should be paid off and quick.
