Mancini Breaking News

[citysince88]

Too many people calling for stability for the sake of it, everybody wants to see the manager doing a 20yr stint as apparently it is the best for success looking at fergie but what people are forgetting is fergie is brilliant at what he does if not the best which makes him so special if stability is the key why dont we just employ holloway on a ten yr deal ? newcastle took that line last season handing pardew 8 years and thats worked out well the barcelona's and real's go through constant 3-4 year cycles of managers and they are successful enough. i hope mancini goes the biggest chequebook manager walking earth, doesnt know the champions league from his arsehole and a terrible man manager, onwards and upwards.

I wouldn't go as far as that, he is a good domestic manager.

He gets the chequebook title for me as for what he said a few weeks ago about hes got to spend big to match united, like he hasnt spent enough already and wanting to spend about 100million every window, i also feel if the club was going to keep him they would have made a statment backing him by now.

You get the **** statement from me for trying to flame this thread.

Speculation based on rumour based on guesswork. Nobody knows what the fuck is going on. The club has to say something in the next 24 hours or Sunday could be farcical.

Whatever happens I trust the people making the decisions at City 100%. If they believe this summer is the right time for a change then who am I to argue? Mancini isn't perfect but I would like to see him stay but I haven't been in the dressing room or spoken to any players so I don't know if his relationship with the squad is as bad as some are saying.

We are still waiting for it to be made official. We're either in negotiations for a payoff, or waiting to give him the bad news with a season end review, depending on which journo you read.

Pellegrini has not signed yet.

Breaking:

Tancredi Palmeri has just tweeted that an interview with a famous journalist who is also mancinis closest friend in business has revealed that its NOT Txiki or Soriano who have pushed for his exit but SHEIKH MANSOUR after an unexpected breakdown in relationship.

Can see that having some credibility purely based on Mancini's character. He has constantly pushed for more authority and probably made a play against Ferran & Txiki as he did against Cook and Marwood if I recall. Its the same with characters like Mancini or a Mourinho or Benitez that they can't help pushing against restrictions and agitating for more of this and greater say in matters. And whilst they are winning its fine but stop winning and people start to wonder why they put up with it.

The trouble with the Roberto's and Jose's and Rafa's is they are a first class pain in arse but its this constant drive that also makes them win trophies. Pellegrini everyone says is a lovely guy, a first rate coach and the players will probably love him but he just doesn't come across as having that implacable drive to win and to win all the time. Arguably in all three cases it wears out the players to the extent that every three years or so you are guaranteed for relationships to break down. Even Jose with his knack of getting the players on side the intensity of it all still gets them in the end causing it to fracture.

All three coaches also have this iron clad confidence in themselves that makes reasoning with them impossible. They are always right. Its the world that is wrong and they fight a constant war to shape the world to their view.

Anyway I'll stop rambling...

Good ramble and spot on. Though I think Mourinhos second stint at Chelsea will be a bit different given past experiences and players/fans faith in him (and Romans knowledge you can't just find someone better).

All the newspaper pricks saying how badly MCFC are treating Mancini when City have actually said and done nothing, it is the very same newspaper pricks that have brought this situation to a head with their shit journalism and witch hunt of Mancini.

Why do people always grossly exaggerate our spending under Mancini.

£180m in seven transfer windows. Not quite £100m every window is it?

We've not been good enough from day one of the season . We all know that its the managers man management that has caused it. It can only ever lead to one clusion as you can't suddenly replace ten or so players worth 200 million pounds.the players themselves though have to have a very good look in the mirror.where was their professional pride? OK so they dislike the manager,understandable, but did they not want to retain the title, conquer Europe or perhaps win the fa cup? What the about the wages they pick up or the fans that adore them, what about our owner who has put so much faith in them to carry our fantastic club forward. Is Mancini and his demanding training regime THAT bad that you throw in the towel like some spoilt kid having a strop ?

I accept Mancini has not delivered, I accept he has to go, I will be behind the new manager and wait with interest how we do next season.

Let's hope for some reason he doesn't upset our little didums players or he'll be gone too.

In my opinion the players threw that game on Saturday.

Shame this is being dragged out like this. Would really prefer the club to just make it official, and then negotiate the details in their own time.

It's hard to know what to make of what's happened in the last few days. I'm obviously glad he's going, I'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise. I'm disappointed that it's unfolding like this. If it's true that nobody (Khaldoun, Ferran etc) had given Mancini a clue that his job was in danger in the last couple of months, particularly in light of all the speculation, then thats unfortunate. However Mancini's a clever man who's been around the block enough time to know this is football.

Haha presume the "this is football" was intentional!
Agree-wish we could hear something. I am a little disappointed that we have barely heard anything from sorriano or txiki since they arrived. Think we may have to wait until tomorrow now though.....

If the quotes out of Italy have been translated correctly, the club have told Mancini that they're sacking him but would like him to see out the last two games. He has not decided one way or the other yet whether he will or he won't, so I guess we'll know tomorrow. Hope he does see the season out as it'll be a real fucking shame if this gets so bitter that everyone doesn't get to give him a proper send off and thank him for everything he's done.

Well said.
Regardless of whether we want him to stay or go its important that it doesn't get anymore distasteful and the fans have the chance to thank him for the progress he brought to the club.

Statement from pelligreni not signed any deal sky news

Just how 'Typical City' would it be for us to sack off Bobby and then miss out on Pellegrini?

 

[Salfordian Blue]

I've just woke up to that Vimeo tribute video. Wow. It left me teary eyed, and I'm not even an 'inner'. The most touching thing about it was - for me, anyway - seeing Nigel De Jong looking like the happiest man in the world, just as thrilled as the fans upon winning our first trophy in years. I miss that guy. He was a midfield beast, and a proper top bloke too.

I'm just looking around our bedroom at the minute. On one wall, you've got the wife's various photos. You know the score, pictures of the in-laws, our wedding and various nephews and god-children. Women stuff. On the other wall, there are a load of newspaper pull out posters of Mancini's team holding the FA Cup and Premier League trophies. For those memories alone, Bobby will always hold a place in my heart. I personally think it's the right time for him to move on, but that does not mean I'll ever forget those wonderful moments we had with him in charge of our beloved club. CTID.

This is a smokescreen for Benitez

What did you expect they play both sides all the time. They stick their knives in the most venerable party at the time what did you expect.

I would piss my sides. We'll end up with oniell. Serves us right.

Decent read from Martin Samuel
He reckons we have handled it all badly though,does have a point i guess

What ever happens, the only person to show any profesionalism and courtesy is Bobby. The club are handling this so poorly, we are feeding the media a feast and they are lapping up every painful moment.
Shame on you City I thought these unprofessional days were behind us.

Well said mate. Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, we're all City fans here. As such, we've all got reason to be thankful for what Bobby has done in his time in charge. Let's give him a proper good send off and welcome the next man in a friendly fashion. We're not fucking Chelsea fans. We're bigger and better than that. Do the club proud.
