Re: Mancini in or out?
In.
I'm not about to expect a man to do what no one has done for this club since 1976, regardless of our wage bill, in this short a period of time. He has us closer to winning something than we've been in a long time and the season is not over, so for today Mancini IN.
I feel like nobody here talks about how that MCFC side that was coming on around Christmas was a more stable lineup than this one, with players bedding in together to some degree. Then we lost DeJong, AJ, Milner and Silva for different spells. Kolarov was moved out of position just when he had a few games under his belt at LB. Kolo's gone now. Tevez seems tired and, for now, unavailable. Questions linger still as to whether he wants to be here or not.
Now, this is the point where lots of people say "why did he let all those squad players go"? REALLY??? Bellars, who I loved in the side, ran his mouth, pissed on the team and left. Adebayor, to my memory, loafed around the pitch quite a bit before getting the transfer he wanted. Bridge wasn't fitting in, truth be told. Roque SC? REALLY?
I feel that Mancini came here with the first focus being to tighten up the back end, and he just about has done. Now, if he was given time to work with this roster in a healthy state right now, I think we would see a different style of play. Take AJ for instance - are you going to tell me you've never seen a player fall in or out of favor with a manager, regardless of fans opinions? It's rather common. I think we're all going to see a lot of him as this season winds down, as long as he is healthy.
I could give a shit about what happens after the season. I'll worry about that when it comes. For now, I have football to enjoy and I intend to back the Club, top to bottom. What I am a fan of is MCFC.
Also, I'm not blind or stupid. If this season ends and we do not get CL, then I will accept that he may get the sack. So be it. That was the mandate give by the owners. If he can't deliver and they sack him, then that is that. I'm CTID, not ManciniTID. Or TevezTID or BaloTID or whatever.
