I'm guessing not that many.
Absolutely this
Which tells you a lot about roberto Mancini and how impressive a character he is.

And so will fans. So your point that somehow 'only city fans' will do this is a bit of a silly one to be honest.nijinsky's fetlocks said:Didsbury Dave said:It isn't just our fans, it's also most people in football who are speculating about his future.St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:Absolutely this

Football pundits and the media generally will always speculate on the future of high-profile managers if they look like relinquishing a title,unless they are Ferguson,who's record renders him bulletproof.
This happens both here and on the continent.
It doesn't necessarily imply anything about the manager's character,merely that success brings expectations with it.

There's lots of speculation about mancini's future right throughout football, and amongst our fanbase. It's all everyone was talking about on Sunday at the game. He's the bookie's favourite to be sacked for several reasons: city have under performed all season and are hugely ambitious. He was clearly close to the sack last season as he sourced himself another job. His whole tenure has been conducted under a cloud of rumours of player unrest. After this season the question is going to be whether he has enough goodwill with the owners to be given another year.
There's bound to be speculation about his future amongst pundits and fans because of the unique situation he's in. It's no big deal. Rest assured this will track fever pitch if we go out the FA cup.
Luckily for him we've had a superb draw and have an outstanding chance to win it. Will this keep him his job? It might if we beat united to do it.

The main reason he is still short is because there was a bullshit twitter account that had him as getting sacked within the next day,loads fell for it
Every fucker was on at about 20/1 that then tumbled to about 2/1
Bookies have just left his price short as they have liabilities at huge odds.
