the only other people privy to this kind of info would be mancini's own football staff, and you can bet your bottom dollar it isn't in their interests to leak it. In fact if its a lie it's in their interests to counter it with their own leak rubbishing it, but I haven't seen that yet.moomba said:BillyShears said:BufordUSABlue said:Having met the guy, he is a genuine decent guy, but dont ever see this as a weakness, as he is as fiercely determined for continued success as anyone else at the club.
I would tend to agree. My worry is that when I look through the dressing room now, with the exception of Balo and to a lesser extent Tevez, I see a group of professional, hungry, mature, footballers. A group of model pro's so to speak. Which is why I find the idea of leaks right now, today, quite worrying, and why I think it paints the manager in an unflattering light. Mancini doesn't need to be everyone's best mate and he clearly isn't, but he should be able to retain enough respect from them as a collective to ensure that what goes on in the dressing room is sacrosanct.
Hate to run the risk of boring you once again but a lot of people other than the players would be aware of what goes on in the dressing room I would have thought.
it wasn't a gossip column, it was lead story in every broadsheet.MCFC97 said:Just thought this is all gossip, propaganda and possibly bollocks so maybe instead of panicking about a leak in city or a problem. City wouldn't release a statement about what is said in the gossip columns if so then we would see non stop club statements.
my mistake but it doesn't sound right IMO because we have heard loads of these 'Bust up' reports it just sounds an awful lot like a slow news dayDidsbury Dave said:it wasn't a gossip column, it was lead story in every broadsheet.MCFC97 said:Just thought this is all gossip, propaganda and possibly bollocks so maybe instead of panicking about a leak in city or a problem.

It was first ran as a sun exclusive, as the OP posted.
Just cause the broadsheets also ran it does not confirm it is true, they all ran the Monacao job as it was theirs even though it was a Guardian exclusive.
Actually the more I see that third goal the more I believe Hart deserved a bollocking.

But his save just before Yaya scored the third was vital.
