well as far as i've heard there was a 5 year plan to win the league but i'll have to have a look at some interviews.
in regards to the second bit i just can't see anyone as qualified, don't forget mancini is the most successful manager over the last 2 years in the league.
we're probably going in circles here so i'll agree to disagree.
My final post in here as I don't want to derail, to answer others and yourself I give 3 names of who I'd like here.
Klopp
Jose
Del Bosque
If we can't get any of the above you then get the next tier
Pelegrini
Simeone
If we can't get any of them I'd stick with Mancini. No point changing for changing sake.
My main reason for a new manager is because we are selling players this summer and overhauling squad. I'm sick of all the turnover and Mancini isn't adept in Europe period. Soo basically I'd look for a more competent manager in Europe and give them the kitty rather than say give Mancini all the money, watch him potentially fail next season in Europe (that's the big target here as well as league) and then review his job, we'd have players bought that a new manager may not fancy etc. I don't rate our chances in Europe under Roberto and I think we are missing out on huge exposure CL brings, you cannot grasp the importance of exposure when it comes to commerical interests.
If people are honest with themselves, we won the league last year and we all looked up, we have 'gone down' instead of up and it's a blow. Some could argue it's reality but if reality is crashing out of CC to Villa (the poorest outfit I've seen in recent times), gaining a single point v Ajax and bottoming the group and conceding our title in mid feb. That's a poor campaign whichever way you look at it. Next season we are likely to face Chelsea who will have a new boss (could be Jose) and they will most likely have Falcao as their front man. It is entirely possible that we could finish behind United and Chelsea and this scares me.
I want to strike whilst the irons hot. I want to limit turbulence down the road en route to our destination and I want to see the club stop losing out in the transfer market, we pay high and sell for less and it's not sustainable under FFP.
It's impossible to be correct as it's all speculation and opinion but I am firmly of belief that we have peaked at the moment.
