Mancini seems to think she had the authority to come out and defend him, but seemingly you know better than him? Strange. Maybe you can find an 80s pop Youtube video to explain how that works?
I think perhaps you do need instruction on how PR works in 2013. To suggest there "wasn't time because they were all hurrying round in the team hotel on the morning of the Cup Final" shows a staggering naivety of the modern digital media world.
It would have taken seconds to do a 2 line backing of Mancini on the clubs official Twitter / website. That would then be reported as news on SSN, all the sports radio, online papers, social media etc within minutes. Dramatically altering the mood of fans, players and staff.
Even if Mancini is getting sacked, which seems certain, the fact the club didn't come out back the manager on Saturday was a monumental mistake.
So, as opposed to bragging how ITK you are, or how great Vicky Kloss is, actually address the points I've made if you think they are bollocks.

If that does happen, whoever is behind MP on our shortlist (my guess De Boer) - will have already agreed unconditionally to take the job if it was offered.
I hope you are right that de Boer is next in line but I fear it could be Rafa.
Rafa has done a job at Chelsea under incredibly difficult circumstances.
Dont see why there is so much disrespect for the guy tbh.

Absolutely no chance. Why would two die hard catalans employ a harder dyed madridista who's footballing philosophy is the opposite of what you're looking for? Don't know where that story started from but it's fucking nonsense IMO.

Still wouldn't surprise me.

Wouldn't be a kick in the balls would it.
I don't get you, what they need to say in that case on Saturday?Shaelumstash said:Even if Mancini is getting sacked, which seems certain, the fact the club didn't come out back the manager on Saturday was a monumental mistake.

Deals for players and managers are negotiated and finalised months in advance.
Contracts and rules dictate a stance of we havnt spoke and no deal discussed but we all no thats just not the reality.
The details of this deal will be announced when everyone is good and ready to announce it, simple and until that time, expect all parties to act plain dumb!

Good choice if true
