Mancini Breaking News

[Super David Silva 21]

Are TS talking bollocks as usual????

As Fergie was making his speech, a helicopter was taking off from the Etithad??

The bobby era is over now. We move on. 12 months from now we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about. In the end his stubbornness has cost him his job, It was the right decision at the time to sack Hughes and it's the right decision to part with bobby now. People lose their jobs all the time, it's a fact of life, very few with a severance package like bobby will get. And if pellegrinis a failure he will quite rightly bite the bullet too. At the end of the day I care little as to who manages us and that's as it should be.

What a chilling photo this is of the power players at City looking down (literally) at Mancini:

Horrible, sickly and powerful photo that.

Looking at that photo makes me laugh a bit, just makes me remember the Mancini quote about "only Khaldoon is above me". Ridiculous comment to have made.

It's just awful Rammy.

Bit hard to get a ticket in senegal and trinidad fella..

Do they not have televisions?

just saying that the rags who have no intention of ever going to the swamp tend to be the worst and bitter type of plastic.. :)

Aye mate, end of the day they are all cnuts.

Elephant man and pisshead bringing the trophy out, makes me want to vomit.

Hopefully an Apache attack helicopter.

taking each person along the line i'd draw more from Khaldoon, looks a little upset to me, he was his man!!

I'd say more disappointed.

Txiki's face, Jesus. If my boss looked at me that way, I'd be on the phone finding a new job ASAP.

And that is a 24ct smirk on Marwood's mush!

I'm a little sad for Roberto, but he won't be sweeping the streets anytime soon so I won't be going overboard with any incantations of indignation. He has his health, he is a wealthy man: there are many people in this world far more deserving of my sympathy.

I will have almost exclusively positive memories of his time at the club. Any City fan of my vintage cannot, or at least should not, fail to understand what winning the FA Cup two years ago meant to this club. Last season is an experience that will never be surpassed and we are taken far more seriously as a club now under his watch.

I do have to say however, that as supporters we have to trust the people who own the club, who have delivered all we could have expected in a little under five years. Their plans for the club demonstrate a degree of long term planning that gives them every right to be given the benefit of doubt on this matter.

We can all form our views on Mancini's player recruitment, tactics and media skills, but there are many things we cannot know with any certainly, especially his ability to manage those who play under him and more importantly, at least as far as his job is concerned, those above him.

As to Pellegrini, we'll have to see, but there were plenty of City fans who questioned replacing Hughes with Mancini, a view which demonstrates knee jerk reactions to dismissals are not usually the most reliable. Our owners have been proven to be totally correct in getting rid of Hughes and surely the fact of the dismissal is, ultimately, far more important that the way it is handled. And poorly handled this appears to have been.

We need, as supporters, to get behind the new manager, which once the dust has settled I'm sure we will. Managers come and go, but the club is all that matters, or at least it's all that should matter to supporters. The cult of the personality is a modern trait which rears it's head on here too frequently, on both sides of the debate.

The reality is, the world will keep turning and we will continue to grow as a club and the people who have transformed Manchester City from a national joke to a genuine force in world football deserve our trust and support that they continue to make the right calls about the future direction that this club takes.

Couldn't agree more, mate. Nicely put.

Post of the day.

So we're replacing our best manager in 40 years with a manager who's claim to fame is to finish second with one of the biggest clubs in the world behind Barcelona in a 2 team league & to qualify to the knockout stage of the champions league(did not win a trophy) oh dear
Why not try Lennon from Celtic he wins trophys and reaches the knockout stage or arsene wenger who always reaches the knockout stage if all we care about is reaching the knockout stage and not attempting to win a trophy.
I know of a club who last season didn't get out of the group stage, didn't win a cup, lost the league to its neighbour. That club backed its manager and brought in better quality players instead of sacking the manager.
Looks like we're following the Chelsea model. So if our new manager doesn't win the league,champions league,fa cup and the boat race next season then he should be sacked as well.
Welcome to the new and improved roller coaster that we love called man city

he did win the intertoto though tbf
