I also reckon that Terry, Torres, Eto'o never really got much further than City making an informal approach and indirectly letting the players know how much they could be earning. I bet that Terry used the interest to boost his contract.

Further fetched than star trek and not really great for us considering he'd most likely be leaving us to win the title with the rags really is it?

I would ask that everyone refrains from posting, and lets it slide quickly to page 2. Or even better, a mod could delete it?
Sometimes,with managers,you can just sense that things aren't working out or progressing as they should.Liverpool took a gamble on woys' previous good record but realised that it wasn't working and took action before too much damage was done.Same with BFS at Newcastle,Ramos at spurts etc.That's not to say Mancini isn't a good manager because I believe he is.He just doesn't understand the PL and has failed to adapt.strongbowholic said:Now that's a brilliant post. It's a distinct possibility this could happen, but sadly only time will tell. As I've said on another thread, for some reason I get the feeling with Mancini this will not be the case though - just wish I could back up why I feel that with some hard facts!de niro said:Despite his ridiculous boring tactics and totally weird substitutions I really like mancni.I like his way with the press etc.I Realise also the need to build and for stability and would love to see him here for ten years. The thing that bothers me is what if he is actually no good, I mean of course in the prem as he clearly has a brilliant football brain.
It might be he's another scolari or Ramos, both brilliant football men but both abysmal here.their clubs bit the bullet and said no sorry thought it would work but it clearly isn't let's move on for everyones sake.
You can counter that with Rome wasn't built in a day but we aren't in Rome and someone should tell Mancini that....... for all OUR sakes.

Top draw manager that IMO would stay for 5+ years given the opportunity.
Mancini isn't the man to make is the best team in this league.
Yes, the most overrated manager in the history of the game.
He did really well 20 years ago in Holland, but since then, has consistently failed at club level.
He is well in with the press though, who continue this stupid narrative of "best manager in the world him". To put it into context, outside of Holland, Howard Wilkinson has won more than Guus Hiddink.
