Correct me if i am wrong but i thought we won the league some months back or was that a different title and if i'm right about us winning the league then doesn't that make us league winners also ? Here's our starting 11 against that of Ajax . Now tell me who should COMFORTABLY walk away with a win and who shouldn't .

I don't even want to talk about the cost of our squad as against theirs but lets just say Balotelli cost more than the entire Ajax squad.
While members here can criticize me for being too critical of Mancini , we must understand that when building a brand you have to be ambitious , You pick up a trophy , try to do it again next season while at the same time you aim for success in other competitions. This excuse of "He got us our first trophy" is getting boring now . We are at the top and yet some still think we are a fluke / mediocre team because we look clueless at the TOP .
Asa Clubs said:Some Man City fans have short memories (remember there were times last season when it was not going well for the good guys).
The knives are out unfairly after 1 defeat. Remember...
Allison spent a lot and won nothing.
Keegan spent a lot and won nothing.
Mancini spent a lot and won a lot.
Ferguson:
No trophies in his first 4 years.
Had to wait 4 years for his first trophy. That was 5 years since their Man Utd's last trophy.
Had to wait 13 years for the first champion's league trophy.
A legend at the club.
Mancini:
2 trophies in his first 3 years.
Waited just 18 months for his first trophy. That was 35 years since Man City's last trophy.
Delivered 2 champions league seasons for a club that had only participated in the European Cup once previously.
Jury is still out according to some 'dubious' fans.
All previous City managers:
Spent a lot and won nothing.
If I was a neutral (OK, maybe I am not) then I'd say everyone should vote 'Mancini' for the next election. He is a genius! Keep the faith!

kun1 said:MANCINI OUT-MOURINHO IN(if available throw as much money on him to take him here) and with 1 or 2 quality players signing in the summer(one deep lying playmaker and one winger) u'll see how far we can get, maybe even win it. mourinho would give discipline in the team and he is the kind of manager that takes 100 per cent try from any of his players unlike mancini. before mancini fanboys say different (he won us a championship and an fa cup, we would have won a lot more with another manager believe me) just look at the players we have and look at what team we lost. ajax is not the team that used to be. we should beat teams like ajax easily home and away with that squad just like real madrid does. if mourinho is not available there are other managers that can do a better job than mancini. and to those saying i don't care if we progress in europe u are clueless. every big team must progress in europe.
