We finished thirteenth in the league and lost to Fenerbhaçe in the European Cup first round. Imagine if we finished thirteenth this season!Balti said:truebluetoronto said:Joe Mercer was the most successful manager in City history. So up to 13 May 2012 I would have to say that RM was the most successful City manager since Joe Mercer. But in Europe not so good two years running, money and talent wasted, poor use of players & resources, and the owners faith in RM is the greatest opportunity in football wasted. I am not one of those who shouts for the managers head when we have a run of poor games and poor results. But whether he stays or goes at the end of the season is not as important as the fact we have now re-established our club at the top and broken the old monopoly.
RM will be remembered as a qualified success; the most successful City manager since Joe Mercer. successful to stick it to the reds a few times and bring down the banner at OT. successful domestically considerering all that money at his disposal. RM will also be remembered as the most disappointing manager in Europe considering all that wasteful extravagence on fees and payroll, wasting such a deep talented squad by such poor tactics and disappointing results. RM will also be remembered as a stubborn manager refusing to take advice from those around him, showing disrespect to some who deserve better and showing loyalty to some who consistently let us all sown and under-perform. Thats what happens when you surround yourself with coaches who are friends who tell you what you want to hear.
That Joe Mercer bloke would have been sacked after our shite showing in europe the season after winning the league if the knee jerkers on here had their way...... ;-)
