only if you believe he and city have lied about it being 3 and a half years

the comment does, theoretically, leave open the door for him to resign and join Juve, but I think the club would have been very very foolish to give us a false impression at this stage.
 
yeah, yeah. Empty promises. They'll wait till December, and then, when we actually start playing good football, they'll sack him and replace him with some other hapless tosser. Really getting fed up with this mess of a football club.

Money changes nothing. We're still shit.
 
Wish people would give this Mourinho shit a rest. Guy is a complete wanker. And he plays boring football. Think it's bad under Mancini? Wait until you get this twat. Plus, he'll not hang about more than 2 or so seasons tops. Boring to the point that Chelski fans, who hadn't won the title in years, wanted rid. Guy is a leg end in his own lunchtime.
 
Not sure about Mancini - seems to have bottled it in the bigger games for me.
We are noe not in a position to attract the players that would have pushed us on to another level because we've missed out on the Champs League - however with a world class manager I still believe we could get them, step forward the one and only Jose Mourinho.
We need him if we ever aspire to take on the biggest teams in Europe, he can draw players in and is as tactically aware as the best of them, he has a proven (almost glittering) track record of success - I take the point his teams can be somewhat dour at times but he's a winner with a winning mentality.
Love him or hate him, love or disloath his playing style he gets results when they count - unlike we did this evening.
I for one would rather be sat here now knowing we are playing in the Champs League next year instead of Spurs - I believe he would have done that and at the same time I believe a certain Mr Hughes would have too.

Not sure how he's bottled the big games. I can see 'the team' has bottled a bit when the pressure is at it's most intense, but that's only so obvious because we've come within a whisker in all of them. When the manager really bottles it you lose them by more than the odd goal because the organisation isn't there.
 
I hope this is true, keep mancini, build his team, give us some cash, we could be big, only time will tell.

i'm really excited he's managed to transform our back 4 since his arrival, we don't look like conceeding at every set-piece and were clearely more organised than we've ever been.

i'm just wondering what the outcome would of been if he came in summer 09.

keep him city.

Big games under Mancini:

Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
Manchester United 3-1 Manchester City
Manchester City 0-0 Liverpool
Chelsea 2-4 Manchester City
Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United
Arsenal 0-0 Manchester City
Manchester City 3-1 Aston Villa
Manchester City 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur

3 Wins 2 Draws 3 Defeats

Can be improved but there is defo signs there that he can manage in the big games, I think if he's alowed to bring in his own players we will see a much more solid City with a better mentality.
 
With a couple of ball playing midfielders and a specialist left sided player Tevez/Adebayor wouldn't have to drop so deep. The way we play is shaped by our lack of balance in midfield. I'd have killed for MJ or Ireland to be on the pitch tonight.
