Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs
Has this really made 17 pages already?

He's won the cup and the league and his lack of success in the CL is quite normal for a club new to it, as we have seen with the Stretford outfit and Chelsea.
If Mancini had not won us the cup and the league but just got us into the top 4 and then got to the quarters or the semis of the CL I would not be a tenth as happy as I am now as a City fan.

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.
Be as sarcastic as you like. Doesn't make it any less a fact. Also doesn't mean he shouldn't get at least a couple more seasons to try to put things right.Mancio said:Prestwich_Blue said:That's his fifth CL campaign, 3 of those with a team that won it as soon as they ditched him. All three managers of the teams we've played in the CL this season have looked better than him by a country mile.
We've been a bit unlucky in the groups we've had admittedly but the only time we've looked remotely convincing was at Villareal. If we'd managed to hang on to the lead in Madrid for 5 minutes then things might have turned out a lot different but there again we showed our tactical naivety by sitting far too deep and letting them come at us. Tonight was inexcusable.
The story is that the Sheikh wanted Mourinho at any cost this summer but Khaldoon stuck by his mate. That decision's not looking so clever just at the moment. I trust him in the league and with Ferguson and Wenger reaching the end of their tenures, I'm happy that he's our manager for the moment but we don't even look like we're moving forward in Europe, which is the real test of his and our abilities.
I used to pmsl at Liverpool fans who claimed that Benitez would do far better with the resources at Mancini's disposal but tonight I'm beginning to wonder if they're right.
i can confirm this. the Sheikh really was wanting mourinho , he told it to me too
At this moment, i really don't see it.M19Blu said:When will people realise that Mancini learns from his mistakes? Less than 2 years ago a lot of preople wanted him sacked because we were too defensive against United and Brum at home, FF a few months and we were Cup Winners and in the CL.

The story is... Do us a favour. Which one of those two would've leaked that conversation ffs?Prestwich_Blue said:That's his fifth CL campaign, 3 of those with a team that won it as soon as they ditched him.

So true, thump Swansea, win at West Ham and Mancini will be the dogs bollocks again and we'll all be up for the Ajax home game.
