Seconded!

Come on City - Public Anouncement tomorrow one way or another - and put us out of our misery.
If mancini goes, Jose in please. If mancini stays, give him what he wants (with ample time) through the next few months.

I don't really rate Mancini. He comes across as being cold & miserable. He wouldn't inspire me. I question his man-management skills, his motivational skills, his substitutions. This season, City has lacked a spark. they start games very slowly & only start playing when they go a goal down. Or, if they do take a lead, they often sit on it & invite trouble on themselves. Reactive, rather than proactive! He always asks for more players, even though City have a great squad & good youth academy. He rarely improves players, or develops youngsters. If anything players go backwards under him.

He has been successful, but look at the squads/money that he has had at Inter & City.

Can't even get passed the group stages in the CL. 3 at the back lol?

 

[ste.sully]

If Mancini is sacked, to a certain extent he'll have dug his own grave. He's clearly not one for taking players under his wing and nurture them (with the bizarre and unashamedly hypocritical exception of Mario), and so by default has classified himself as a "results" manager.

Season without results + inability to win certain away games (Everton, Stoke, Sunderland) = Good reasons for dismissal.

That said, as many have alluded to, we had the chance to really build on last season by investing heavily - and losing deadweights - in the summer. The powers that be didn't sanction such activity, which does make them partially culpable.

A difficult one to call. My heart says give Bobby a transfer warchest and another season. My head says it may be time to get a manager who is a better leader.

Couldn't put it better myself.

There are two types of football managers:
1. "Results manager" - Mourinho, Mancini, Ferguson
2. "Philosophy manager" - Wenger, Guardiola, Klopp

We've arrived, we're at the top generally speaking. Now the club needs a manager with a philosophy to take the club forward. Pellegrini is definitely a philosophy manager - likes to play quick-tempo dynamic football. Shrewd tactician and strong motivator - a skill which Mancini has really lacked this season. Players never really responded to his wish to improve all season. Saturday's pathetic performance said it all.

you think he hasn't built a philosophy?

It's May 13th, 2013. One year exactly since May 13th, 2012, that day. Let's see if City have the calamitous streak to announce a sacking on this day.

Slow, timid, central, and predictable has been the philosophy of the football this season save for a handful of matches

It will certainly come full circle in a harsh way but it is to be expected.

 

[Damanino]

Isnt there a press conf. for Reading game today?

If Kloss and co. are sending Mancini to the front of the press now again to face big questions they are really evil...

Think you may have missed that Ferguson was in bold type.

I think there are managers that can balance the two. Wenger is the epitome of a philosophical manager. The likes of Ferguson and Guardiola have the clinical streak to grind out wins, but also the long term vision to create an empire.

Best football writer in the business hits the nail on head again,especially on the second topic regarding the disgusting Financial "Fair" play rules

If Mr Mancini goes then I am fully prepared to give Mr Pelligrini my full support. He is certainly an upgrade from the new Scum Manager and to be linked with Barca,Benfica and the Chavs is nothing to be sneered at.

Martin Samual's article does though point to him being "La Liga's" version of Martin Jol.

Why then, did we not go for Martin Jol?

Never heard a word said against him on Bluemoon have you?

 

[alextheswede]

At first, when I woke up this morning and saw that Mancini may be sacked, i believed it. I was shocked.

However, the more i think about this whole situation, the more i believe that Mancini will still be our manager next season, and the next.

He's recently signed a new contract, which shows that the owners want him here for the long run. Surely one bad season doesn't change that? (When I say bad, I mean coming second in the Premier League and getting to the FA Cup final......). The main reason for this season being so terrible in the first place was the terrible signings we made, with the exception of Nastasic and Rodwell (Who i believe will come good).

I've seen a couple of interviews with Khaldoon on the OS - he clearly has his head screwed on, he knows what he's doing and I'm pretty sure he knows that we need STABILITY and to not become like chelsea.

I'm convinced that all of this about Mancini getting sacked is false. I haven't seen one peice of solid evidence that it's true and until i do, i won't believe it.

 

[mancity1]

If he is the best available then he will be supported until he proves otherwise but it indicates to me there is not much top quality available at this point in time.

 

[Blue Haze]

Why is Kloss being blamed? She's not even a serious player within City, her opinions mean nothing to the likes of Soriano and Begiristain.

I like Samuel but that was a rubbish article on such level it's not even funny..

Some names and ideas he is mentioning there make me wonder if he was drunk when writing it. Alan bloody Curbishley, how the hell you can publish an article with him in it..

 

[colin's bell helmet]

on the train back yesterday that James Cooper off skysports news was saying it's a matter of when he gets sacked and not if. He suggested that pellegrini had refused an initial offer from us and that was the reason he hadn't already been given the boot and that mancini would be in charge for the reading game but likely to be gone before the Norwich game. He also said he'd had several what he referred to as 'staff members' contacting him asking if he'd been sacked yet, he said mancini is not well liked throughout the club from players upto board level. Let's wait and see what happens in the next day or so but far to much smoke for him to be staying imo....oh also asked him if there was an opportunity for us to nab mourinho and he said 'afraid not the Chelsea job is his'

 

[pudge]

Not a word about English managers when Mourinho is linked with Chelsea or Moyes with United.

There was an article published a few years ago, think it was the Express, that basically blamed the failings on the England National team on our spending.

Samuel, more often than not, is one of the journo's that is actually worthwhile reading. Not this time though.
