Re: Mancini Breaking News Part 5
You don't have to rebuild the squad. If you have 3 or 4 key players agitating for managerial removal you pick one of them and bomb them out. A few months later you then sack the manager for poor performance or whatever.
Players are back in line having seen one of them cop it making future representations unlikely and the manager is now gone removing that problem. The one thing you do not do is run around sacking someone when the players get a bit miffed. If you do they will always find something to be 'miffed' about.

Yep. If a group of players can dictate whether the manager stays or goes then you are simply buying trouble further down the line. What happens if they don't like the replacement? Or the new manager goes out of his way not to upset players in case he gets the bullet? Its basically the problem at Chelsea which started when Terry agitated to get Jose removed. Or look at Madrid where Jose has faced endless battles to control the dressing room to no avail and ends up leaving. Allegedly several key Liverpool players wanted Benitez gone and thats not worked out too well either.
Sack Mancini for not doing a good enough job then fine. Sack Mancini because some players want him gone? Then they will spend the rest of their time here swanning round doing as they please. Maybe that would account for Saturday along with all the other shit that went on.
Easy to say when it's not your money that will be needed to rebuild the squad.
