Mancini Almost Left To Manage Monaco

[forevermancity]

The real surprise is that he was only talking to Monaco.

No Real Madrid?
Barca?
Chelsea?
Munich?

Oh that surprises me...

No
No
No
Unlikely.

Can't be bothered to articulate why.

If one of our players wanted to go to Monaco they would be slated citing that they are not good enough for city if that's where they are looking at.

If Bob wants to manage French div 2 football, then fair enough.

Lol, what does that proves except lazy journalists who copied that graph from it's original source and never even thought to convert it to domestic way.

Don't be stubborn for once in your life and accept that English people know better than you how wages are been quoted in their country and there's absolutely no discussions about that there. Wages are quoted before tax in England and that's exactly where those 13m EUR Yaya's wage come from (from usual 200k per week).

are you saying that the original source was so lazy to not convert english and european players wages ?

You're not related to oakiecokie by any chance?

Oi !!!!!!!!!!!!! I fucking heard that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hic !! ;)

Football at this level is a multi-million pound, cut throat industry and Mancini, Khaldoon and Mansour are all intelligent men.

They all made contingency plans in case things went tits up, which they very nearly did. Both sides sounded out possible alternatives when things weren't going well, and would've been daft not to.

It's a touch naive to think otherwise.

Still think Mancini handled the press very well today. They were baying for blood, and with one jokey, sarcastic comment he pretty much diffused the situation.

clubs court successful manager - hmmmmmm is this a story? OR is this all a carefully orchestrated exit strategy so that everybody appears "honourable" and Pep gets he City job?

I find it difficult to believe that the club's pr department didn't discuss with Mancini how he planned to respond to the inevitable question about Monaco. Surely the 7 or 8 clubs comment was agreed with the club beforehand?

Think its Platt who guides him and sits next to him in press conferences

Surely, before they go into the conference, he sits down with the pr people and discusses what controversial questions are likely to come up? I cant believe that someone other than Platt didnt say to him "Can we agree how you're going to answer the monaco question?"
