Rammyblues said:I will say it again I can't remember too many fans on here after the 13th May last year who did not want Mancini at our club. He then signs a five year contract and again almost to a man and woman on here there is a huge sigh of relief. So what has gone wrong in the last 12 months to change our belief in the manager, wins Charity Shield, qualifies again for CL, looks like we will finish second with a good chance of winning FA cup. The only downside was the European adventure and I would like to know which teams from the premier league could have gotten out of that group. IMO not the time to get rid he deserves at least one more year to see if progress can be made. If our owner decides otherwise then all I hope for is that the manger who replaces Mancini is better qualified and will take us to a level Mancini can't, just as Mancini took us to a higher level than Mark Hughes could never have taken us.
I take your main point but there is a certain desperation about mentioning the Community Shield when extolling Mancini's virtues. It's a pre-season friendly, no more, no less. Mancini himself did the same thing recently and really didn't sound too impressive.
