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

[GStar]

Things won't get better with Mancini then last season.

There's only one step to improve on, that's Europe. We won't win the title every year for 20 years, no team does.

If some fans had thier way, i think we'd end up being a laughing stock like Chelsea, where no right minded successful manager should take the hot seat.

Add that to the fact there's a real lack of talented managers that would build up a potential
candidate list and i think we've got plenty more from Mancini, a decent Jan transfer window would help.

Imagine our team if we'd got Mancini transfer targets of the last couple of windows: Sanchez, Hazard, Ibra, Thiago Silva and Javi Martinez.

I don't think I've ever disagreed more with a post. Every point is blatantly incorrect

So we should win the league for 20 years straight?
Chelsea are professional and astute with their managers
There's an abundance of talented managers in football, capable of taking over our club
And our acquired transfers recently, compared to our targets are on a par with one another.

Blatantly too.

I could also be manager like that.
Every window I could buy some Ibra, Falcao, Thiago Silva....

Imagine how good we would be with the entire Barcelona team at his disposal?

Actually scrub that, we'd probably still be behind United because Messi, Iniesta and Xavi would get rested every other game and then we'd bring them back into absurd formations that none of them are familiar with.

You only ever seem to post when we lose.

A few weeks ago you felt that losing to united could serve a wider purpose, something no City fan I know could ever contemplate.

I imagine you must have enjoyed today.

Imagine our wage bill ... ;)

Haha, my point (that many seem to have missed) being that had we even got one/two of our targets, i highly doubt we'd have bought players like Garcia/Rodwell. Players that certain posters are quite happy to use as a stick to beat our manager with for purchasing (not that he did, that's a different point for a different thread!)

But it seems, as has become all too common, there a complete lack of balance in people's opinions.

There's a team of people, including our owners and prior to his sideways 'promotion' Marwood involved in acquiring players. When our squad is fit, our new signings bar Nastastic don't get a look in.

He's too fucking obvious mate....

Re: my worry, united sorting there defence.

I trust Mancini to have the knoweldge to sort things and maybe come up with the Plan B we are desperate for.
I also trust that our owners will back the manager in January to strengthen.
And i deffo trust that now Marwood is (thankfully) out the way the new guy from Barca will push the required targets through to completion, something that Marwood failed miserable at in the summer.

BUT! my worry is that United will sort there defence out.. if there strikers stay injury free and continue to score but they also stop leaking goals, well THAT could be our biggest problem. A problem that would be out of our control.

Plan B should be in his back pocket to be whipped out on 50 or 60 minutes if we aren't breaking defences down. We shouldn't be halfway through a season with the thought that, Micawber-like, summat might turn up! It's this, with the attendant post-match comments that suggest the minor hiccup will be ironed out the first instance we're back on the training ground, that is no longer washing with me!

Haha, well remembered.

A poster with zero credibility.

Gdm, you can do better than accusing blues of enjoying defeats.

If you don't agree with him, fine, make your points. But the facile and childish 'you must have enjoyed that' is feeble minded and peevish. We are all pissed off but you're a far better poster than that, mate. No offence.

Giving Mancini a 5-year contract has to be one the worst decisions of the summer.

It won't matter a jot if push comes to shove.
