Wasn't he responsible for one of Real Madrids biggest spends?

Ronaldo , Kaka and all ? Technically yes but most people see them as Perez signings......he was also forced to sell Schneider against his wishes.......
Just wanted to see what the poster I responded to came back with.
You should post more ;.)

I tell players, "Let's manage ten set-pieces. We won't be successful eight of the ten times, but we will win the match with the other two." Creative football is hard if you aren't able to combine with others or be comfortable touching the ball. If a coach gets upset the first time a player makes a mistake in the final meters, the player will do things practically, but not make a difference. Making mistakes while trying new things is better than plain football."
I love both of these quotes

Fuck me, have you been asleep these last few weeks. Chelsea, Red Shite at OT, The first goal at home to West Ham. We've played some really good stuff at times. To say "in a long time" is absolute bollocks.
That;s the thing with the way Mancini has got us playing, we are capable, at any given time, of playing some truly exceptional, attractive, football and putting any side to the sword. However, when it doesn't work, it looks slow, deliberate and toothless. Mancini's got his strengths and his faults, the fualts would seem to fall into a couple of areas, Man Management and stubbornness. He doesn't build natural relationships with his players, he's all stick and no carrot. Plus he thinks his way is the only way, and won't be aswayed by the evidence. We don't have a plan B as such, if the slow, methodical passing, and attaching centrally doesn't work then we don't really deviate too much from that. And he still insists on trying the 3-5-2 formation when each and every time we've gone to it we've looked unsettled and far from dangerous.
Personally I'm on the fence as to whether I want Mancini to go. I think if he stays I'll be happy, but I also wouldn't be crying if he left.
Thanks Matty, summed up my feelings perfectly.
I honestly just want to keep Mancini because I think he has done a good job in 3 1/2 seasons here. If he were to be replaced, I would only want it to be with a truly world class manager. For me Pellegrini is a bit of a risk. Would like to keep the stability but who knows, maybe Pellegrini will turn out to be success. Oh, and please, stop dividing ourselves into inners and outers, we both want what is best for MCFC (at least I hope so).
