Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the club

[dctid]

Whomever we get we won win a pot every year no one ever does

Sacking Mancini now with no obvious replacement would be utter madness

For me Bobbu sends me fucking barmey sometimes but under his guidance i have seen silver wear i could only ever dream of and i am grateful of that

For me this season the big players have ket us down - Silva has been quiet, Yaya still very good but noe the less not what he was last season, Aguero cant hit a donkeys arse with a shovel and Vinny / Hart are a not performing as they were last season - Lescott has been sidelined which for me is a massive contribution to our poor defending of set pieces

For me the season was summed up, players not taking personal responsability with Nasri acting like a knob - harsh yes but got gucks sake why give the ref a desciion to make

I feel the players are letting Bobby down

Carry on Bobby for me sadly i dont think that will be the case

Have you missed today?

Was about to say. What a strange post.

How very fucking strange a thread about Mancini and some questioning his tenure i have the fucking cheek to back him and question some of the players performances this season - its not just about today for fuck sake

Have you missed today?

He certainly seems pissed today.

Short sighted fella - our team performances this season have been poor compared to last season and many many fans i think would agree

Too many personal mistakes and todays result was in doubt which at 2 up after 10 minutes should not have been the case

Fuck i cant even back Bobby now

I agree with your backing of Mancini mate, I was just confused after reading your opening line and it never really recovered. Just thought you may have had a tipple or two.

Considering we were down to ten men away from home against a side who have deserved wins against Manure and Arsenal on the same patch this year it was a good effort.

Thats twice we have scored twice against good teams away from home down to ten men.

I know Stoke did it today but Manure wouldn't do it assuming a ref/linesmen has the guts to send one of their players off ( LOL ).

We know what happened to them the last time they were at home and went down a man don't we.

We've been no worse this season than we were from December to April last season (pretty much half a season). People have this warped memory of last season. Because we lifted the trophy doesn't mean we were great every week, as I say, for half he season we were quite average. It's why I don't rate any English clubs in the top five clubs in Europe. People overrate us and the Premier League as a whole.

We should not have been though and we wont do it all the time

We cant afford fuck up - as i said it was a soft red but why the hell go head to head with the player - pride before a fall and taking one for the team are two phrases that spring to mind.

This thread is not about todays game but the season so far which has resulted us in securing fewer points than last season and 7 points behind the fucking rags

Regardless of what we have done today the players so far this season have let Bobby down

Can see pep taking the helm in the summer.

Although mancini is a good manager and has an impressive domestic resume, i just dont think he good enough for europe. This will be his downfall when the end of season review happens.

Also the fact that pep would get the best of the team, which mancini isn't doing this season.

Disagree from memory we drew only 5 games last season whilst this year we have drew 6 already - which is one of the things that is killing us

Defensively we seem to be ok but we are not scoring like we were last season

On what basis are you making the claims about Guardiola?

'He would get the best out of a team' yet he left the best club side in the world without silverware in his final season. A club which Rjikaard - now failing in Turkey and Vilanova, who's managerial career reads Palafrugell 03-04 and Barca 2013- have/are both been successful at.

I've never seen a manager more over-rated, he may prove to be an excellent manager, but he's ridiculously under experienced and under proven as it currently stands.

Your second line was all about todays game and I was responding to that in the main.

As for your overall perspective on the season so far none of us are under the delusion that the results , performances and attitude of all our players has been up to the standard we set until our loss to Chelski last year.


But consider this ,

We have has many more injuries this season than last , many of them long term and at key moments.

We are 4 points down on our like for like results to last year.

We are currently less points behind Manure than we were with 6 games to go and still won the league last season.

RM has made a number of poor decisions before and during games especially in Europe.

We were poor and under performed in Europe and deserved what we got but as I always say we win as a group and we lose as a group and that includes RM and his support staff.

I actually think Pep is a good Manager - but when I said around 20 pages back in this thread about how he has only managed at one Club and I would be concerned if he got our Managers position I was accused of making a "Lazy" post.

Ha, i actually think the championing of Gaurdiola itself is lazy, i think the recent managers, such as Rijkaard and Vitanova prove that poor managers can make that team not only look god but win silverware too.

The fact Guardiola left them without anything isn't great, the fact he's only ever held one senior management position is worrying and the fact its Barcelona even more so.

If I owned the club, I would not take the risk

 

[mancity1]

Prepared to put decent money on whoever next manages us and I hope its sometime before that happens for obvious reasons it won't be either Jose or Pep.

Strong mail in Spain today from reliable sources that Pep has been offered and accepted the Chelsea post for next season.

We all have, it's been a tough week on here for all of us, a few days of peace will be nice

Really doubt it will be either Pep or Jose at City next season even if RM leaves us at the end of this season.

so you'd take experience but lack of anything of note in Europe despite numerous attempts against inexperience but proven silverware both domestically and in European football?

End of the day Txiki and Ferran know Guardiola inside out, you don't, so from your perspective taking what you see as the safe bet may not actually in the bigger picture be the best move.

He's earnt himself the reputation that means that someone somewhere will take the gamble, if not us then probably Chelsea.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Agree about Pep, can't see the attraction. The new guy has taken the same players and done far better so far in the Spanish league than Pep did...to date anyway. Smacks of AVB at Porto if you ask me.

1st part: He never said that, you can have experience and success in europe. Guardiola doesn't have both. Others do.

2nd: Moot point, Ducado like you or me can only give an opinion from our own perspective.

3rd: Disagree, he's had that reputation given to him, if not thrust upon him, he certainly hasn't 'earnt it' imo.
