I am not convinced he is the man to improve our performances for next season, and he seems to have lost the support and the confidence of both the board and the players.

He hasn't really got a record of winning trophies, in Europe at least, and at 59 he's hardly a young manager yet to prove himself on that front. His record in Europe with Malaga and Villarreal is admirable, and a similar run would be much welcomed at City, but winning the title back should be priority number one.
That pretty much sums up the way I feel. I been sitting on the fence but reports that Mancini alienates those around him is a huge worry for me. If he was getting results it wouldn't matter, but the performances this season have been insipid. Even forgetting the terrible performances in Europe, we should be beating Wigan every time we play them. They wanted it more than us and that is unacceptable.
apparently Wigan are not allowed to beat 'the worlds greatest club ever' (tm) either, and yet.........

and finally if it's a choice between the manager and someone like Marwood because they can't work together then bin fricking Marwood and find someone else who can
Mancini is almost universally loathed behind the scenes at City. Ferguson almost universally loved and revered.
Does make me laugh that you're are still having a go at Marwood. Again, for someone who's so incompetent it was obvious at Wembley where his place at City is and where he stands within City's hierarchy.
Because we are owned by Sheikh Mansour who has other responsibilities?adrianr said:Matty said:My take on all this is that it is probably the right time for City and Mancini to part ways.

Good summary. I'm not clamouring for the man to be sacked but I think given how this end of season has been handled sometimes you just need to cut away dead flesh. I don't think anything good could come of him staying now, too many lines have been drawn in the sand by too many people. If he has indeed fallen out with the main boss man then that is surely that anyway. Pellegrini with a full pre season and a fresh bout of confidence, more attacking playing style, could be just the tonic.
Only question now is why are we wasting time slowly sawing it off?

Never seen so many names on here at this time of day before I don't think.

Sadly, you can only see one reason why no statement is being issued. The obvious course of action would be to officially refute all the rumours and speculation. It's not happening because the rumours and speculation are not unfounded.
Remember Sven's last game, when everybody knew he was going?

Get an in-house caretaker in, and then appoint a manager when one becomes available. This should have been done months back.
Heynckes is 68 going on 69
Laudrup a gamble
Vieira never managed a club
Get the sacking announced and a caretaker announced asap so we can move forward. Kompany, Aguero etc will look after the last 2 games and give us hope for next season. With Mancini dropping hand grenades everywhere we are heading for the rocks
