Interesting video link with some journos... interetsing thing about an email Shikh Mansoor sent to them? whats that all about...
David Walker: "....easier when you represent to whole Catlan nation...they don't even represent the whole of Manchester..."
I imagine the Sheikh sent a comms outlining the vision now we have Ferran and Txiki on board (yes, I am on first name terms with them, lol!).

Classic case of Mancini being far too honest and open with the press IMO. City really do have a shit media handling department.
I have no doubt Mancini, given his contract status last winter, was looking at his options, but I still find it hard to believe Monaco, a second division French side, were high up his list of options.
Mancini is one of the most politically savvy managers in world football IMO.
He played City beautifully on his recent contract extension.
I know he was courted very heavily by Juventus the year before last.
I was sceptical about the Russia claims, only because those pesky Commie bastards can fake anything.
As for Monaco, not being funny, but football in France is on the verge of a boom.
A huge tax free salary in one of the most beautiful places in the world, an endless supply of eye candy every minute, a Russian billionaire benefactor...what's not to like?
An not very far from the Italian border.

tolmie's hairdoo said:Ric said:BillyShears said:Interesting that he's tackled the Pep rumours head on in that press conference. Glad he did that. I didn't find his comments about talking to six or seven teams as being sarcastic though. Sounded like he genuinely did.
C'mon, that was blatantly sarcastic. If he'd have responded in an arsey or defensive way they would've been all over it, so instead he diffused the situation neatly with a joke.
Regardless of Mancini's intention, mate, they are 'all over it'. Too cowardly to directly act in the moment, though, because, deep down, they know it was rooted in sarcasm.
Tomorrow's headlines et al: 'Mancini: I spoke to eight clubs last season'
City boss admits courting more than Monaco.
This where a savvy PR team earn their corn.
Massively in demand manager chooses to stay at City for five years.

If it didn't happen, he'd have denied it outright. He chooses his words carefully, i suspect not without good reason.

And likewise had it been a FALSE accusation,he would have firmly denied it.As he has done previously when people start to quiz him about certain "goings on" at City.
The bloke is no fucking fool.

He indirectly denied it through sarcasm with the bit about 7 clubs
