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

[thedogsbollocks]

then theres RVP he never wanted to come to us,end off,it shouldn't even be up for discussion,maybe he feared being on the bench etc.

Not true. Van Persie was willing to come to us in January last season but agent fees and high wages meant he didn't.

Also, the rest of your post is complete shit and an agenda-driven attack on Mancini.

I have heard he was going to the RAGS end off.

if what you say is true ,wouldn't the £50 000 000 we actually spent have covered the £25,000 000 transfer and wages then ?

I have no agenda mate,read my post history. i just get sick of reading how Marwood is to blame for our transfer policy.When blame lies firmly at the managers door,remember this is the same man who doesn't think twice about singling out a player or players for criticism after poor performances.Yet some carry on like all these dud signings were forced on him.Mancini would walk it is bollocks.

Marwood was moved because he was only filling in for Cook.It was common knowledge the 2 from Barcelona were coming in long term,Marwood is respected by our owners.Still it suites thoughes who have an agenda to portray him as a guilty party for signing shite.

All this slagging of Marwood despite the facts ?.

Who chased De Rossi all summer declaring him his number 1 target even though the bloke had signed a new contract ?,thats right Mancini spent weeks going after the unattainable .

then theres RVP he never wanted to come to us,end off,it shouldn't even be up for discussion,maybe he feared being on the bench etc.But the fact is he didn't fancy the switch.Mancini knew this ,fcuk me was there nobody else out there we could have gone for ?

Hazard wanted first team assurances,obviously Mancini wouldn't give him them so he didn't sign ?whose fault is that errrrrrr Mancini.

Still Mancini was given £50,000 000,what did he do he spent it on sick note Rodwell, he sat happily next to him during his signing saying he had pursued him for 2 seasons,declaring him one for the future.No one had a gun to his head.

He signed Garcia,i mean come on who is to blame for signing yet another DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER with no pace ?fits like a glove in to our side,so slow is he that Barry has been benched.

Maicon,one last pay day.

Nastasic a good prospect,played regularly because Roberto has a problem with Lescott.

£50,000 000 THE CLUB SPENT.

seriously could that not have been spent on one decent attacking midfielder .Mancini is to blame end off.

I would rather he wasn't given another penny until he offloads half the dross he has stuck on our wage bill.

+1

Probably the worst squad in the league, and still second, how the fuck does that work? Bobby best manager ever ?

Bluemooners would do well to consider why we have hired Soriano and Begiristain in the first place. Is it to develop our academy? No. Is it to help get the best out of Mancini? No. Is it to wheel and deal on the transfer market. No.

Of course they can help with these things, but that is not why we hired them.

why we hired them then ?

Because we have wanted Guardiola for ages and we are on a mission to get him. Why do you think Mancini was not allowed to send big on his transfer targets?

Guardiola is barely on managerial scene for years yet to say City wanted him for ages is whoah..

as well as making City small minded club who hires people on two biggest adminstrative positions paid millions just to acquire some bloody manager.

If you're not wuming, you're lost your mind :)

I heard we didn't put the money on the table to threaten United's bid anyway, but hey, it's all gossip, why don't we get down to the facts, which is Marwood got moved on to the campus and was in charge of transfers during the summer, so the two combined mean you can come to some sort of a conclusion.

Would the RVP deal not have happened simply because we were unable to sell Dzeko in the summer? Apparently his proposed move to Bayern fell through only over agent fees (according to Bild).

The whole "He only wanted United" is typical red media spin, had we bettered the offer he would have been here but to be honest it would have been irresponsible to sign him without first getting rid of a striker which we were unable to (if that £40million bid from PSG for Mario was legit...............................). We'd have started the season with RVP, Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli, and Dzeko otherwise... lol.

I would think thats closer to the truth regarding RVP,however,that doesn't account for the rest of the balls up.

And I heard he wasn't. It's a respected ITK's word against your friend's.

We needed cover in more positions than you think. We're much better for cover at centre-back than we were last season thanks to the purchase of Nastasic, for example. If we'd signed Van Persie and nobody else then we'd have been left with Yaya, Milner and Barry in midfield - Nigel was on the way out because he wanted to leave.

I agree we needed other players.So why buy Garcia to replace NDJ AT £20,000 000 + IF FFP was an issue ?.It made no sense to me for what we received in transfer fee.It would have made more financial sense to let NDJ go on a free in the summer.I don't even think he is a better player,he cant even tackle.

What was the need for Rodwell also at £10 000 000 ?

Why sign Sinclair a wide player when your manager prefers attacking fullbacks ?,would it not have made more sense to sign a young quality attacking fullback ?

We could have got a quality attacking Midfielder + quality fullback instead off what we bought.

I mean come on a fecking idiot can see we need an alternative to Silva

this forum really is showing signs of rag and chelski type so called fans, full of glory hunters and bandwagon jumpers on. ffs this guy has given us 2 trophies, not counting cs, look at our history, look were we have come from. he deserves till end of season at very least. yes we have a few over paid prima donnas, but we had to pay top dollar to get these guys in, yes some of the tactics have been mind boggling for sure, as a long standing blue im sick of ppl calling for managers head, for christ sake we used to go through managers like water, do we want to go back to that, did it get us anywhere? i think not

 

[Freestyler]

My huge Mancini post and my points raised a while back were completely justified in the Sunderland game, he's just one of many managers who will progress us. He'll never be the final piece of the jigsaw ever, he's not good enough.

He's a good manager, but not as good as some think. He isn't good enough to take us to that next level, he's reached as far as he can get.

The 'we won the league' line is bullshit, the strength of the team pulled him through.

I appreciate everything he's done for us, but he's incapable of taking us that step further.
