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

I find the nearly cost us comment has cropped up in various forms a few times.
I find it staggering that people actually believe this.

People who believe the nearly cost us theory are 100% unadulterated, no holds barred, wank-festing, bottom-feeding trolls and wummers. Either that or they have the brains of a hamster fart. If you had to choose between their opinions and the opinions of a load of lobotomised gold-fish living in an aquarium, you'd choose the fish every time. And you'd be right.

Very true

You haven't but others have. Absolutely. If he wins it again then he stays and rightfully so. My fear is that he is going to cost us it (as he nearly did last year) but he has earned the right to be given that chance.

I find it staggering that some people don't.

His tactics on the road after the QPR game (until we were eight points behind and he/we thought it was over) did not play to our strengths and cost us a lot of points.

Home or away the league is won by the team that finishes top. Points cost blah,tactics blah,unti we were 8 points behind blah.
Sliding doors my friend. Ifs ands pots and pans.
Your argument is even more pathetic than my response.

No.....stop reading the papers and stop listening to Talk Shite.
We have been drawn into the toughest group, we won the title last season. Do you remember? We are undefeated in the league this season.

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.

We win never ever ever win the Champions League with Mancini. He hasn't a clue i Europe. In my opinion he has taken us as far as he can.

Some managers really can't adapt to european football, David Moyes for one!

Don't agree with his comments today, he's on the verge of losing the dressing room.

So he says the players should be able to adjust, if they can't then they're no good enough? ermmmm he bought the players himself.

Truth is, he doesn't know what he's doing in Europe.

The Rags won nothing last year and went out of the CL at the group stages. Should they have sacked Baconchops?

Absolutely astonished and ashamed of some posters in here recently.

Just how quickly must one of our Managers win everything before its ok to keep him and who is better than Mancini that would have done better quicker?<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 26, 2012 11:38 pm --<br /><br />

and when you consider it just becomes nonsense; Clichy cannot play as a CB his game and his physical attributes do not make him suited to this role, and he should n't end up playing RB either, he was exposed there against Sporting, surely that was enough for Mancini to realise to NEVER PLAY HIM THERE AGAIN. If he wants full backs that can switch to play CB he should of bought 1, Micah might work in that formation, the only snag is that he was n't with us during pre-season.

Tactical switches can work wonders; the key is preparation and application.

Mancini has shown himself to be lacking in these areas, Benitez appears much better in these areas, Mancini likes to pretend to be a tactical genius but he is n't, he proclaimed that there would be no more tactical evolution only improvement in physical conditioning. This is where he falls down for me, if you are not open to new ideas then you fail to spot them, even minor nuances can alter games and become solutions. Benitez shines out as a great candidate for his successor, if Mancini addresses his problems in Europe there is no need for the change but I have come to the realisation he never will.

The only obstacle to European success for Mancini is himself if he does n't realise this and address it then the club is left with little option but to sack him.


Watch this and tell me Benitez would n't make a good successor, he is even more media savvy than Mancini.
