Personally, I think Mancini is the real deal and he will have us playing fantastic football and will move us forward significantly this season.
But I keep reading comments like he will get the sack if he doesn't achieve xyz.
Well, barring a scandal involving incest with the Pope, I can see no scenario where Mancini will not be our manager next season.
Our owners got rid of Hughes because (a) he wasn't their man, (b) he was demonstrably out of his depth and (c) because he had no track record of success to suggest it could be worth sticking it out.
None of this applies to Mancini. Plus, you only have to listen to our Chairman's interview at the end of last season: adug are in it for the long term and accept that building will take time. Of course they are optimistic that city will be in the honours this season - well all are. But just as they shrugged off the disappointment after the spurs game last season, if we were to under perform I would expect exactly the same this season.
Bottom line is Mancini is going nowhere, now let's get behind him and the team and give them our 100% support!
