A piss poor CL campaign maybe?
But when Mancini was appointed everybody was aware of his forays into the CL. He hadn't taken a decent Inter side into the latter stages, and Mourinho did. Why appoint then if there was a question mark over him? I think the CL is the excuse they are hanging the sacking on! If they sack Mancini because of a poor CL, they backed the wrong horse in the first place and they are culpable.
And I don't rate the last two years in the CL as an unmitigated disaster. We would have qualified the first season had we been in a few other groups, and last season we were stitched up by the shitehawks at Uefa, and but for a couple of inexplicable seconds at the Bernabeu we would have done the might Real. Defeat on that day cannot be laid at Mancini's door!
