Typical media - probably been blown up from a nephew of Mancinis being overheard requesting his Uncle Bobby buy him a Meccano set for Christmas.

Away from a lecture on newspaper trust, it just adds further intrigue to Bob's stance at the club. If he was willing to walk as easily as that, what else would it take for him to go?
There's more than a handful of Rag apologists writing for these papers that makes me think it's part and parcel of the 'Let's have a go at City' line yet again.

How would it start if you were to think it might be true?
The Guardian would simply not print this if they weren't sure. If this is not true, expect a statement anytime soon from City or Mancini stating it to be complete bullshit. If not, well silence speaks volumes.

Mancini knew we were talking seriously to Mourinho in January. You can hardly blame him for looking elsewhere just in case.

Oh No!!!............you've really gone and done it now, haven't you?
And in the Summer we had the Russian FA were about to name Mancini as their new manager, and it turned out to be Capello.
It would be newsworthy if he were in negotiations to leave City, but is it significant if he turned down a better financial offer to stay at City?

If you thought there was a chance your job would vanish what would you do?

The Grauniad wouldn’t run this if they weren’t confident in the story but Daniel Taylor is a rag sycophant of the highest order and not inclined to present anything in a beneficial light to City unless he has to. This could just as easily have been written as Mancini turning down the chance to earn a fortune because of his commitment to City / love of the club etc, etc.
No doubt Mancini did consider the offer but why wouldn’t he? Monaco’s a couple of hours from Genoa and he’s not guaranteed a job for life here.

I guess living across the pond has given me more perspective on the matter than u seem to have...Hamann Pineapple said:cmdub said:Daniel Taylor isn't he sort to make up stories so those saying its bullshit need to take their head out of their ass and realize this isn't the sun or daily fail

Turned down a better financial offer? Mancini's new contract makes him the best paid manager on the Premier League and I think either the 2nd or 3rd in domestic world football!
Monaco are in Ligue 2, the club needs a huge job doing to it to get it back on track.
