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

[cookster]

Of course he doesn't just as all the other nitwits who've crawled out of the woodwork since Wednesday to remind us what terrible supporters we are ... funny the number of posters who you never ever see in an actual discussion about the team or even on the forum itself in some cases, until such time as Mancini drops a fucking enormous bollock. Then they turn up en masse to tell us to "get behind the manager ffs" "stop moaning ffs" "just be happy ffs".

I'm still pissing myself at swp's back telling me that he has a more enjoyable "supporter experience" than me because of what I post on here. Separating the men from the boys has never been easier.

Billy you touting for a new nemesis now Manico has been banned ;)

Has Mancio been banned - hallefuckinglujah! About time that troll was dispensed with.

Nah, me and Swp's Back are cool. We spar with each other but we don't take it too personally. I'm sure he'll have something witty to say about my separating the men from the boys comment!

Don't celebrate too soon, I believe it's only for a week.

I have suggested Benitez as alternative manager and got responses ignorant of the fact that he has without any doubt an exemplary record in Europe. I won't say anymore on the matter after this post, but I have made my mind up, unless Mancini turns his record around in European competition then it is either Pep (although hearing he wants a London club) or Benitez for me. Mancini had my full support until Wednesday night, as I have said with that defeat I came to realisation that his European record will never change; He will always be an underachiever in that respect, Benitez is completely the reverse in terms of clubs managed, an unequivocal overachiever.

It is difficult to encounter such an extraordinary endorsement of Rafa outside deepest Toxteth or from members of his close family. Your predictions for Mancini's future failure are duly noted but I am grateful that these were your final words on the subject of a man who had your total support until Wednesday teatime. (I would like to hear more from the voices you hear concerning Guardiola's cockney preferences tho')

It's rubbish that he only wants a London club.

Pep wants to be flirted with a project that will give him most satisfaction, this is according to the pundits on Revista.

I don't think he will go to Chelsea in my opinion, Roman is number 1 and demands complete power, plus there isn't really a big big challenge to win the European Cup again compared to a club like us.

Pep could see us as the club who he can win the first European Cup with, he will have all his past Barcelona associates on the board in Soriano etc.. He will have complete power, a good spending kitty, and probably most importantly, implementing the Cruyff total football/ Tika Taka system into our new world class academy - that would be priceless!

I love Mancini, but there are many managers who can win us titles, but only a few who can win in Europe! It is up to the owners to make decisions of course.

110 pages of wank. Disgusting, disgracefull and downright wanky.
The failings of mancini, are the failings of our club.
Who sane of mind, could revel in that?

Talking of men from the boys sums this thread up perfectly imho.

Cheer up Glen .... we're all just killing time until the match kicks off in a couple of hours.

BTW ... I've pointed this out already but the OP is talking fucking nonsense. Anyone thinks Mancini's tenure should be questioned in October so soon after winning the league is a bellend. Oh and the other thing - the OP led the charge in the "Hughes Out" campaign from a week after he joined the club. I have my suspicions about his allegiances.

so you can't see the irony of complaining about a thread being 'tiresome' whilst repeatedly contributing to it?

You can't see the irony in comparing the posters in it to pub bores, whilst plonking yourself in the next seat?

Mate, the guy asked a question and I answered it, you came along and told me to fuck off to another thread. Maybe you have taken it personally and consider yourself that bloke in the pub. Truth is, I didn't have you in mind when I said that and I haven't even read any of your posts on this thread.

fair enough. There's such a hail of bullets and insults when you dare to question the managers decisions that it's easy to be over defensive. I must have misunderstood you.

No problem, I don't agree with a lot of your comments, but I don't come on here an argue with you, partly because I can't articulate as well as some that do like to spar with you, partly because I can't be bothered, but mostly because I know that you are a proper Blue. Billy might want to keep this in mind the next time he wants to bring up posters that dont want to have an actual discussion with him.

Fair play billy, as i have said before, posters like yourself and dave have been open and honest from the start. I have no problem with your opinions, it's the clueless fuckers that do me nut in......

Great spot btw..

Good points, Pep would be my first choice but we can't take for granted the appeal of other clubs and that their board may change their current stance, Chelsea, the rags and Arsenal could all (with the will to do so) provide him for a platform for success. We have missed out on player signings due to their preferance for other clubs, it is just as likely that Pep may prefer the rags as did RVP or Chelsea as did Hazard and David Luiz. I have suggested an alternative, his record says that he could deliver, I have yet to to see an argument that is convincing enough to suggest otherwise.

Mancini is noisily making the owner's decision for him by continuing to fight his in-house battles (previous medical staff, Marwood and always with his own players) in front of the entire footballing world via the rapacious British footy media. This is not how a classy and generous, but naturally conservative Arab sheik likes to do business. Now he defends Gregucci by saying that AG has only worked with our defenders exactly ONCE since he was hired. If so, why does AG have a title and a wage packet?

Mancini's "my way or the highway" commentary about Micah's foolish public comment is reminiscent of his public slating of Hart, of all people, after his innocent and frankly appropriate comments after the Bernabeu debacle. While it is inappropriate for any player to question his manager's tactics in the media, it seems incredible that Mancini would react the way he did in both instances (Hart, Richards) given that he has humiliated his own players in the media countless times himself. Richards has been Mancini's most vocal defender, time and again, but you can be sure he won't make that mistake ever again. Hart must also have been none too pleased after Mancini teed off on him for no reason. This is all so incredibly reminiscent of how Mancini's tenure at Inter unraveled during his final season. He was sacked by Moratti not only for failing in the CL multiple times, but also because he completely alienated his entire squad. He fought that season publicly with most of his star players, including the ones HE brought to Inter, even Patrick Vieira.

Mancini is like those protagonists in old Greek tragedies, a heroic figure with a fatal personality flaw. In the end, he's always his own worst enemy. The clock is ticking, the fuse is set...
