Mancini Breaking News Part 4

[Esteban de la Sexface]

May have been the wrong word to use in response EDLS, but some on here are getting hysterical.
I have read posts that the owner is a "soulless ****" and that posters are done with City if Mancini goes.
Get a fucking grip everyone, and wait till we know what has been going on.

I've not been over the top in my posts and don't put words in my mouth, please.

I happen to like Mancini and as this is a board for posting opinions I will used it as a forum to voice my support for a man who I feel is being despicably treated. If they want rid, fair enough. But do it with dignity.

I think you may have misread may post, i used the wrong word concerning your post, then said that
" some on here are getting hysterical.
I have read posts that the owner is a "soulless ****" and that posters are done with City if Mancini goes".
That did not include you.

You lumped me in with that "some on here". You were reacting to my posts and used that as a reference point in your argument. Please do not do that again.

If he's a United fan then I don't understand it.

Wearing a City shirt and he's getting over on us?

Only my opinion, but here's the scenario I think is going on at the minute.

After the FA cup final, Mancini has been asked to leave the club at the end of the season.

He's been asked to do so in a similar fashion to Fergusons retirement, ie seeing out the last couple of games.

Mancini, being a naturally stubborn manager, has told the club he won't leave of his own accord, and has told the club to sack him if they want rid of him.

The club, aware Mancini is a fans favourite, are between a rock and a hard place. They want rid of Mancini, but don't want to piss the fans off by getting rid of him in Hughes fashion. They know the fans will want to say thanks and goodbye, that way they get rid of him and the fans aren't as pissed off.

What It's created is an absolute fuck up.

I just don't see what the club were supposed to do. "hey, roberto, we're going to fire you in a week and a half, but please do a good job coaching until then."

It's unreasonable. The plan all along was probably to wait until the end of the season and have a "process" whereby they'd fire him. Maybe before NY trip just to spare him that farce. The news got out early and the club should be concerned about the manner of that happening, but once it got out they can't really back him and then fire him in a week. They can't realistically pre-announce his firing. Yeah, it got ugly, but it realistically got ugly the second the news picked up steam, at that point there was realistically no way to put the cat back in the bag, so to speak.

You've got it bang on mate.

There is nothing the club could do differently about this. It's just moral high grounding and blame gaming which diverts from the key fact.

The hierarchy have decided that Mancini isn't the man for the club. A brave and, I believe, correct decision.

Brave. Its bleeding heroic. I can see Ferran and Txiki hanging round outside Mancini's office nudging each other and whispering

"Go on you tell him?"
"Me boss? I'm not telling him its your idea"
"Hmm. Tell you what lets wait until after the cup final he'll be in better mood then hopefully. Now are you sure no one knows that we have Pellegrini lined up? No one saw you lunching with his agent last week?"
"Its cool boss. I used a disguise. No one suspects a thing."
"Excellent. Nothing can wrong. We win the cup. Tell Roberto he's out and then put out a short statement. All very professional. The Sheikh will be pleased. Come Txiki our work is done here. Lunch?"
"Great boss! Can I...?"
"Yes Txiki you can wear the disguise. A nuns outfit you say. Ingenious Txiki. Very ingenious."

I don't think they've come out of this as as cowards, do you?

"I don't report to them. I only report to Khaldoon." he smirked.

Bang. On your bike, Bobby. Learn a bit of fucking respect.

Forget behind the scenes politics, City should come first.

I agree. However.

How many club employees has Mancini publicly slagged off, and how many times has he played politics in the press with our board members? Did he put City first?

Live by the sword die by the sword.

Then what's the point in people like Vicky Kloss then? That's what I don't understand.

If the club don't approve of how Mancini conducts his interviews, or wih the questions that lead to such answers, why don't they stop it?

Like I said, in circumstances such as post game interviews when emotions run high and there is no time for board consultation over how to handle the press its people like Vicky who are responsible for dealing with it.

Mancini's interviews and how he conducts them are only as big a shambles as the club allows them to be.

It is an old one... perhaps he 'borrowed' it from a City fan m8

Under no circumstances should anyone ring talksport to discuss this. Don't let them damage our club while growing their profits.

fucking hell, get those cunts away from the club now.

any fan going against the owners decision after all he's done is a twat.

they know what they're doing.

 

[Balti]

I don't care if they like him or not. This is unfair to your supporters at this point, and the owners have an obligation to the people they want money from. I'm not being unreasonable either and suggesting anything crazy like they should consult fans about hiring a manager or something nonsensical. They do however have an obligation to act professionally and not make decisions based on petty vendettas.


Mancini knew he was going. Has known for a while. But he's chosen to play dumb.

BINGO!!!

If someone really thinks that his words in last 2-3 days are not well planned behaviour then lol.. or that he was shocked and surprised by Friday news, come on.. eeeez football, you should know how contract negotiations things are being done

His words and acts in these days can bring him additional million or two and you can bet your house that everything he says is something pre-oordinated with his camp.

agreed

but that works both ways

and as we the ones pushing him out then the onus is on us to agree the deal and move him on in a nice smooth stage-managed exit

not like this amateurish shit-storm
