"Mancini has repeatedly rubbed his own players, and many of his staff, up the wrong way over the last three-and-a-half years, with barbed criticism and thoughtless treatment. When the team is winning, such things appear to be detail. But when backs are to the wall and unity and spirit are needed, as they were on Saturday, such details can become monsters.
His remarkable performance in the post-match press conferences – blaming the club, and communications director Vicky Kloss in particular, for the Pellegrini rumours – was staggeringly desperate."
He's dead right of course.

What's more telling is his handling of Pantillimon....if you believe the MEN version. If that's true, he deserves to go. But who do you believe?

Whatever I think doesn't change anything really does it. they are paid well to handle decisions that non footballing people cannot understand. They turned Barcelona in to a big team and probably made some unpopular decisions then. they are not here to win our popularity they are here to do a job and do it well
You miss my point - if we had decided a change of manager then so be I like many other fans will get over the dissapointment and will go on and support the new manager. But as you quite rightly point out they are well paid and i therefore expect a more professional approach - to have this shambles erupt on cup final day - to hear those rag bastard singing Mancini getting the sack amongst other things i find difficult to accept.
The sacking of Mancini is not the biggest issue - yes i am gutted but big clubs and we are a big club dont behave like this unless your name is Chelski

Home schooled like Laudrup, Benitez, Wenger, Martinez, Mourinho, AVB etc etc. T**t of the highest order. What exactly has the new manager of Ushited ever won, not even a f*****g League Cup.

He has gone, we move on and yes, you backed the wrong horse and made it your main aim to belittle certain posters on here over it.
Take your medicine like a man!
So take the bet. Who have I belittled? If everyone is that confident then I'd be taking the offer. It just shows you that the outers just want him out. I would fucking piss my sides if Pellegrini turned us down.
I quite like Martin Samuel, his articles are normally more circumspect and thought provoking than many other journalists. That being said I'm not sure quite where these plethora of "home-schooled managers" are with the credentials to compete at the highest level. We tried a "home-schooled manager" and he was an unmitigated disaster, then we tried a European (albeit one with a track record of winning) and he brough success. I'd like for him/anyone to provide me with 4 or 5 names that would fulfil the home-schooled tag and also look like they might have what it takes to be a winner with City.....Eds said:The Daily Mail's Martin Samuel says: "A coach who has won nothing in Europe, not even in the season he spent £200m on four players at Real Madrid, will now occupy one of the prime jobs in the Premier League.
