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

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

Mancini and Citys performances in europe have been poor , but to talk about sacking him after 2 CL campaigns , is fuckin ridiculous ....... imo

Under most circumstances, sure. But this isn't a man that has shown he's capable of winning in Europe. It has been stated that the goal of the owner (the one that can pull out with a phone call and send us to the conference or worse within a few seasons) is getting into Europe and competing on a level that is a justification for the massive expenditures

The gut reaction is to say "out" although I'm not saying that specifically, but I'm just looking at this from a practical standpoint. We have owners with the highest expectations in the world of Sports. This is not what they're paying Mancini for. It would be different if our 1 point came against Real, Barca, and Munich. You have commentators the likes of the weasel Gary Neville that are calling out where the goals are going to come from minutes before hand, yet Mancini isn't making the adjustments? When you can clearly look to the Manager and ask why he made a decision that can be directly linked with a goal, you have to start wondering why that manager is being paid!

I have a feeling that every single one of you that are rubbishing the negative comments about Mancini would be delighted if he was sacked for Guardiola or Mourinho either in January or the summer.

How many managers have been sacked for less? I personally wouldn't look back if Mancini was sacked for Mourinho or Guardiola...

Mourinho was able to win it essentially with the squad that Mancini failed miserably with. Guardiola was able to do it twice in three years. Mancini has made the managers of Ajax, Dortmund, Napoli, and Munich look like tactical geniuses by comparison. Its becoming abundantly clear that Mancini is not able to achieve success in Europe (again, winning the tournament isn't the requirement).

Brilliant. In fact what if we sign Mourinho and Guardiola and kept Mancini as well ?

We could have a sort of managerial rotation policy based on results.

Can we hope for a first clean sheet against Swansea?

I worry about Mancini. I do. I question the length of the leash our owners have given him regarding champions league football. That being one of their highest priorities for both prestige and revenue. Not getting out of the group stages two years in a row, especially if we continue to get results like this for the rest of this season in Europe could be disastrous for him. I don't know that it will be, but it's certainly putting himself in a much more precarious position then otherwise.

I love the guy personally and have loved what he's done in the premier league, but I question the patience of our owners and the need for champions league revenue regarding FFP. Perhaps demanding Mancini's head as the original poster did (I believe he did anyway it was 13 pages ago) isn't the way to go about it, but the discussion is certainly valid and someone is not an idiot or a rag for bringing it up.

There's not a chance on earth I'd sack Mancini for not doing to well in two really hard CL groups.

Especially when he clearly didn't get the reinforcements he needed in the summer to help us make improvements at CL level.

He lead us to the premiership title and the FA cup. He's a fucking legend.

Sadly I'm not sure the owners will see it the same way. Especially with Guardiola being available and Soriano being an influential figure at City these days.

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

After what can only be described as an humiliating night in champions league football for the club. The question I am now asking which I guessing is in back of a lot of peoples minds is this it for Macini? Is this as far as he can take us?

I think we all know why he was shown the door at Inter, and this competition has been his archilles heal? Personally I have been questioning where we go from here or a few weeks, and perhaps the coincidence that we have brought in an ex Barca honcho might be a clue for who we are looking at if the trigger is pulled.

But even if Mancini can bring us another premier league trophy this season is that gonna be enough, personally I don't think so. Right now barring a miracle of biblical proportions we are out of the champions league and that just is not good enough.

This thread is an absolute joke.

Exactly, nice post and well put. End of the day, people who start with the abuse and calling people a rag for daring to question Mancini, well I do have to question the amount of brain cells flying round in their heads to be honest.

Serious question. IF Swansea beat us at the weekend will Mancini get sacked?

I just hope we get back to winning ways asap and perhaps revert to playing 4-5-1 in europe with Yaya behind Tevez.
